Tenth-Generation Accord door removal method: 1. Use a pry tool along the edge of the car door speaker cover to pry it open, then remove the cross screws behind the speaker cover with a screwdriver; 2. Pry open the edge of the car door trim panel and remove the internal screws with a screwdriver; 3. Starting from the bottom of the door panel with two pry tools, sequentially pry open the clips of the door panel. Once all the clips around the door panel are pried open, the door panel can be directly removed. In terms of safety features, the Tenth-Generation Accord is equipped with VSA Vehicle Stability Assist, HSA Hill Start Assist, Emergency Brake Warning Assist, electronic parking brake with auto hold, tire pressure monitoring, front airbags, front side airbags, 360-degree panoramic imaging, and automatic parking.
Removing the door of a 10th-generation Accord is actually quite particular. Having done this job myself a few times, it feels like assembling a big toy—both fun and requiring careful attention. First, you need to prepare the necessary tools: a Phillips screwdriver, a socket wrench, and don't forget a small pry bar to help remove the interior trim. Before starting, raise the window glass all the way up to prevent it from falling and causing injury or damaging components. Next, begin with the interior trim panel—pry open the small cover near the door handle, unscrew the bolts inside, then gently pry the plastic clips with the pry bar, and the entire trim panel can be easily removed. After that, disconnect the wiring connectors for safety, as working with live wires can spark and cause harm. The door hinge area is critical—use the wrench to loosen the bolts on both the upper and lower sides, but don't rush to remove them all at once. Have someone help hold the door or use a jack to support it, as the door is heavy and difficult to lift alone; dropping it could damage the car's paint. Finally, gently lift the door to complete the removal, but remember that the wiring harness on the 10th-generation Accord is hidden near the hinges—avoid forcefully pulling it to prevent wire damage. Afterwards, clean the bolt holes to ensure a tighter fit when reinstalling. The whole process takes about half an hour, but watching tutorial videos beforehand is a safer bet.
