2 Answers
The removal of the door panel for the 10th generation Accord involves the following steps: 1. Pry open the plastic panel at the rear of the door handle and remove the fixing screws; 2. Remove the speaker grille on the door panel and gently pry open the door panel. 3. Pry open all the clips, and similar to ordinary door panels, slightly lift upwards to remove the door panel, then disconnect the cable plugs of each control switch. Below is some related information about the 10th generation Accord: 1. The 10th generation Accord is equipped with a 1.5T turbocharged engine with a maximum power of 143kw and a maximum torque of 260 Nm. The fuel version is equipped with a CVT continuously variable transmission, while the hybrid version is equipped with an E-CVT continuously variable transmission. 2. The dimensions of the Accord are 4893mm in length, 1862mm in width, 1449mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2830mm.
I've taken apart the 10th-gen Accord door panel several times, last time was for a problematic speaker replacement. First, locate the screws correctly: there's a small cover inside the door handle—pry it open to reveal a screw; also, one or two screws are hidden beneath the window control panel. Remove them with a Phillips screwdriver. Then use a plastic pry tool to start from the door panel corners, gently lifting the clips until you hear a click, but don't force it to avoid breaking them. Once the panel loosens, disconnect the wiring inside, like the window switch connector, carefully. The whole process should take under 10 minutes—key is having the right tools: use plastic-headed pry tools to avoid scratching the interior. When reinstalling, align the clips properly until they click into place, then test all functions. It's wise to keep spare clips handy in case any break.
