Honda wants a lot of money to do this job and I'm trying to not go broke. Please see my thread which explains the whole problem. This is definitely a question for someone who works on these cars for a living. Thanks guys.

hmmmmm.... i've done it with the door open and it's pretty easy. don't drill anything if you don't have to. i'm not sure about your year accord, but you just might be able to do it. probably need to get the seat out of the way though :thinking: :thumbup:
