Car Forum / Honda Cars / June 20091994 Accord Rocker removal
Hello, I'm new to this list. I'm doing rust repair on my daughters 1994 Accord and I can't figure out how to remove the plastic rocker panels. Any help would be appreciated.

No, unfortunately that is not how they attach. They have some kind of plastic pin that goes in from under the car and also from behind the trim. I broke one pin off but it didn't help any. > Hello, > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > Eric well, this has only a distant chance of being helpful, but i discovered (by accident the hard way) that the rocker panels on an odyssey have a sheet metal screw on the front end going in lengthwise, kind of behind the front mudflap, with that removed the whole rocker panel can just slide forward and off, it's held on by about a dozen clips snapped into the sheet metal which mate with tabs molded into the rocker so that sliding it backwards snaps the tabs in. > Hello, > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > > Eric There are two small screws in the front. Remove them. There are nine black pins in the underside. They consist of two pieces (a middle and an outer piece. You use a very thin-blade screwdriver to pull the middles out of the outers. Then you remove the outers from the trim. At this point, you now slide the trim forwards about 3/8", then lift it away from the car to unhook it from the white side clips. Might need to wiggle a bit, but be CAREFUL. There is no need to "break" things.  SignatureTegger The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ |
