why the 3 screws holding door latch are too easily removed on your fit ? Mine is still stuck there. Have no idea how to unscrew them for the last week or so
By the way, when you buy this, make sure it comes with the plastic cover for the back of it, to keep dust / grime out. I bought one, and it didn't come with it, and had put in another order for it. You may want to get the gaskets for it too,

Thanks for your valuable feedback. We strive to provide comprehensive guides to assist with your car repairs. However, the precise connections to the actuator from the locks and door handles can vary depending on the model of the car and may require a professional diagnostic scanner. That's why we developed the YOUCANIC Full System Scanner, the same tool the experts use. Check it out here: www.youcanic.com/scanner. Additionally, details like Torque Specs often require referencing Factory Repair Manuals. If you're interested in getting this essential information for a small fee, you can access it at www.youcanic.com/manuals. Having the right information and tools can make all the difference!
My suggestion: add the tools used for this assignment. Sort of how cooking has the ingredients listed below. It would be less time consuming if we knew first had what tools are needed for the job! Great video none the less 🤙
I was trying to replace the front passenger side door actuator and I cannot remove the metal rod that connect to the door handle. It has a plastic piece securing it in place but even when I flipped that little plastic piece out of the way, I still cannot pull the rod out. Any thoughts? I'm afraid if I pull on the metal rod too hard, it's going to break the inside part of the door handle.
@@lennonalatorre225 yeah, I stuck two picks in between the plastic piece and the rod to pry it open and then I just pulled the rod really hard. It required a large amount of force but it came out. I also ended up with a 3 inch gash (now a scar) on my wrist because when the rod popped out, my wrist hit the door. So I recommend putting something on your hand or on the door to soften the blow once that rod gets loose. Good luck!

Thanks for posting this. The dealer quoted me $1400 for 3 lock actuators. I watched this and 2 hours later I changed all 3. Saved over $1200!
This video saved me like $800.

Any suggestions on getting the door open when the actuator is broke?

Where are the photos that you referred to in the video? I am unable to find this on your website.
Really well done video, thank you!
This video is less than helpful. I have an 07 Fit Sport and it does not accurately represent how to do this job.
Weee those p3 screws pretty tight

Ever figure out what to do?

I’m being told by a collision shop that they’d have to replace the whole door! Is that needed?
