My 2010 Pilot has almost 300k miles and is still going strong with just routine maintenance.
my honda pilot has 293000 km still run like hero👍
I'm having the VNS light and check engine light come on. It did this 5 month ago but went away...like it reset or something. Now its back!!
@@jkm771Have you disabled VCM?
Honda Pilots have a serious anti theft system . If you bypass the key fob unlock and Manuel door key unlock don't work and you have to access inside vehicle another way..the steering wheel locks and if you manage to unlock the steering wheel the wheels lock up so the tires won't roll . So the vehicle will NOT move even if you start it and put in drive oe reverse. It will NOT roll . Yeah for some reason my key stopped manually unlocking the door . I have an 2008 Honda Pilot. which is a High Performance Vehicle. The engine is solid even when everything else breaks down. The sound system is awesome. I also have a 2013 Honda Pilot sound system is not as strong as the 2008.
This saved me about 100 dollars in possible labor fees. I followed every step and the result was amazing. Thank you for the thorough instructions in your video. 👍🏽
Teric Dukes Awesome, Glad it helped you out. 👍😎
how's it holding up ??? i. plan on doing the same
Just gad my girlfriends done cost me $75.
I'm joining all the other commenters to say THANKS! Just fixed this in our Pilot and it looks great. Thanks to your video, it took under an hour... appreciate you! 👍
Thank you for the tip about spray glue for those of us without a special stapler.
Binder clips great idea.
I just bought a pilot and the console and door leather need replacing. Your videos are exactly what I need. Thank you!
Good Luck with the Pilot! 😎
I watch this video and decided I would fix my arm rest myself and I did. Thank you for making this video. I replaced my arm rest as well. I watch your armrest video and I was able to replaced them too thanks to your video.
Beauty by Kay Awesome! Glad it helped you. 😎
My husband came to check on me like three times every time I had completed another task I was silently smiling lol thanks again!!!
Beauty by Kay lol
Yo man! The clip idea was brilliant! great job & thanks for the tip. And I’m going to use staples instead of spray adhesive lol.
Where the heck do you find 1/8” long staples like what Honda used?
I started my repair a while back to do while I was recovering from knee surgery. Everything was very simple and straightforward until the re assembly. I had a big issue during the reassembly with trying to re-stable the new cover to the plastic piece. I tried multiple staple guns and staples and nothing would penetrate the plastic piece. I shelved the project and stuck a pillow where I pulled the arm rest out. Going forward and getting to the project after months, I went to a furniture upholsterer and asked if they had a pneumatic staple gun that would penetrate the plastic piece. Their staple gun didn’t work either and I was directed to using stainless steel staples which “ I think” I had already tried.
So, using that Gorilla glue, I Like That!!
Thanks for the Video!!
Just bought this kit with the arm rests from amazon ! Can’t wait to fix it! This is a game changer!
Just did the middle console ! I will be doing the armrest when the weather cools down ! Thank you so much !!!
I bought the replacement cover off of Amazon and got as far as removing the old cover and staples. I found your video looking for installation ideas. I was torn about using glue vs staples thinking the glue might soften in the summer heat. Thanks for the confirmation that I was headed in the right direction. The binder clips was a great idea! 👍🏾
Thanks for watching! 😎
I'm watching this with a broken finger too! Nice video.
You nailed it! Thank you for recording this and walking through each step. Getting the staples out was the most annoying part but overall, easy day. 👊
Same for me! Just finished it. The staples did take a bit to get out. But using the glue was a snap. The corners were a little bunchy, but still fit with a little trim with some scissors. I'm glad my dog ripped the original vinyl one, because this looks and feels so much better!
Anyone else having this issue: I used an upholstery staple remover. Highly effective and very cheap tool! I recommend it big time. It’s often used in furniture restoration.
Thanks for the video. I just did this job however I put the replacement cover over the old one. Came out great and I didn’t have to mess with all those staples.
I’m going to replace mine also. Thanks for the valuable info.👃🕊❤️
i watched this video and fixed my arm rest..but i used an air staple gun instead of glue . I thought using blue would be difficult to remove if i messed up. But i did it. Thanks for making this video it helped a lot
Thanks bro! Very helpful
Great job. I pray for God to reward you for sharing this
Thank you. Just did mine. Will rewatch your front door video and do it tomorrow
I just watched a video before yours where the guy used a staple gun and your idea of using the spray adhesive is genius! Hopefully mine comes out as nice as yours! Thanks great video
Thank you for this video. I plan to fix this exact problem with our Pilot’s console. Now I know how to proceed.
Wow! This looks amazing! Thanks for the video. I’m about to order that cover right now.
Thanks for watching!😎
Thanks for this. I’m ready to do mine today. I plan on giving it an extra hold by stapling it with the glue.
Thanks for watching!
This was super helpful. A couple of things that worked for me. You're not trying to salvage the old top so no need to be gentle with it. Once you have a couple of staples out you can cut straight across it with scissors. Then it's easy to pull off. After that most of the staples will be half out and easy to grab with pliers. Also, I put a couple of staples in to hold it in the right place then got the rest with hot glue. It's precise and has very little wait. I haven't had bad luck (or more likely bad skill) with spray adhesives
Thanks so much for to video! I just replaced mine (09). I let my leather lay out for a couple weeks to get the wrinkles out. I also used a staple gun instead of glue. Pulling the old staples out was the worst part. Looks so much better
Thanks for watching! 😎
What size/type of staples did you use?
Looks awesome, but why not use a staple gun to help secure the glue for a little more longevity? Thanks for the video!
Many thanks for posting this video tutorial! So helpful for us to replace this and our arm rests :)
Larry Steinberg Thanks for watching! 😎
I did it exactly the way you showed. Only difference I had an extra help it went super smooth! Thank you
Thank you for posting this. I have the same problem and will try your solution.
Thank you so much for this. It was very easy to fix after watching your video. I just have to order the arm rest ones and will watch that video next. Thank you again 🙏🏽
Thanks for watching! 😎
Good job. I wouldn’t have believed that gorilla spray stuff works that well but there it is.
Thank you for this video
Thanks for the video. I used it to replace mines. Only thing I used a hot glue gun. Thanks so much!
It always surprises me how ugly things are when they are taken apart, and how it always looks more complex on the outside than it really is. Super awesome vid, I am going to buy some leather now.
Worked perfect, thanks! Those staples were a bugger to get out, I used a small screwdriver and needle nosed pliers, and a six pack of Coors light. Also, that glue sticks to everything! (next time I will use vinyl gloves). The finished repair looks fantastic.
An upholstery staple remover tool was perfect! Saw these comments, so I bought a cheap one and it was a miracle tool :)
About to do this and the door panel arm rests this week. Thanks !
Just finished replacing my console cover after watching your video. I used gorilla glue and 6mm staples to attach the new leather (not as many staples as Honda!). I also used a hair dryer to heat/loosen the leather to help stretch it over the foam/plastic. Lots of stretching required. Turned out great! Thanks for your video!
great instruction, very easy, thanks!
Huge help !! Thanks Man. Exactly what I needed.
Very good video nicely explained thanks for sharing i will do mine tomorrow
Thanks for watching!
I changed it for my 2011 Honda Pilot and looks perfect. Thank you for the video and it helped a lot. I thought that spray adhesive is too strong and once it mess up then it turns bad. I used spray but you have to do lot of stretching before it dry.
Wow! You did a great job. I have a Honda Accord that I need to do that with. Thank you for sharing. That helps a lot.
Thanks!
Wow, it turned out great. Thanks for the video
You can also use heavy duty staple gun with 1/4" staples. I used the arrow t50 staple gun and it turned out great! No glue and looks like its from the manufacturer. Just pull and staple!
Whatever works. 😎 Thanks for watching.
Very helpful!! Thanks so much.
Sue Rogan Thanks Sue. Glad it helped you.
Just fixed mine bruh! Thank you
Victor Martinez Awesome! So glad to help. 😎
Awesome tutorial. Thank you
Thank you very much for this video 💯💯✔
Hi i am about to replace the armrest cover and thanks to you i have a good idea. Just wanted to get your advice about whether the glue held after a period or is it worth stapling it as originally installed. Thanks
Glue holds up
Wow very appreciative! Excellent tutorial!
Thank you, just got this for the wife
Greg Austin 👍
Better then the original!
Thanks you’re a genius greatly appreciated this video really help me the glue is very easy,it saved a lot time,stress and fatigue they’re crazy factory got 98 staples on it that is ridiculous thanks 🙏 man again i did mine already.
Thanks for watching! 😎
Thank you! Got it done!🙂
Thank you so much for your video.
Very helpful video. My question with using the spray glue is what happens when it needs to be replaced again. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Happy 2022.
You should be able to pull the material right off. But by then you’ll probably have a newer car anyway. So no need to worry.😀 Happy New Year!
Thank you for helping.
Thanks for watching! 😎
Look so good thank you!!
Thank You.
Very good job
Thanks for watching.
Thanks you came tru on this one
Well done!
Wow Nice Job Bro
Awesome, gotta try that
Nice 🙏 thanks
T-50 staple gun with 1/4" staples worked good but there's a lot of crevasses where the staple gun can't get into
Great video. Was the adhesive just sprayed on the sides of the leather and arm rest, and not the top area?
Yes, just the edges.
@@fixinit thank you so much 👍🏽
Dude! The instructions to the repair were to a T. Few items to share on my experience. Key to removing staples (used a 5 point and pliers), start wrapping from front center (look for a small V cut on leather and align to notch under the cover), when appling gorilla spray avoid center. (allows ability to easily stretch), avoid wrinkles by lifting and resetting. Total time 1 hr (plus overnight for leather to stretch).
Thanks for sharing 😎
Yooo, my driver side armrest is going bad too! Imma try to fix my middle console now
Thanks for Watching. Check this out ua-cam.com/video/NFdDy9rub-s/v-deo.html
Thank you for the great tips. I was wondering what kind of staple and pin can be used instead of glue( which i think will last longer). Any tips?
I would think any heavy duty staple would work. Maybe someone else here can recommend the correct staples. The glue is way easier and with the bottom cover on, it’s not going anywhere. Thanks for watching!
I'm trying to find one of these for a 2014 Infiniti QX60, the only place I've found so far is eBay.
Can you post the link to where you got the leather cover from please
The link is in the video description
nice job
Thank u
Diosmary Moran Glad it helped you out.
FYI since your at 899 subs i just wanted to sub so u reach 9hunnid lol by the way great video 👌
Lol. Thanks for the support. I appreciate it. 😎
Nice job . Would the foam fit back in?
Yes. The foam is very thing and is glued to the armrest. You leave it on and just put the material over it.
You didn’t need to re staple it? I think im just going to do the same thing with mine. Thanks
Nope. Glue holds up fine
My concern with the glue is that if you ever have to replace it again, it is going to pull some of the foam padding off.
True, but if you still have that Pilot in another 10 years, you're probably dealing with bigger problems! Worst case, you can always pick up another armrest from a junkyard.
Sweet!
Thanks for Watching!!
Would an office staple remover work?
Mike Roberti You can give it shot. Those staples are in there pretty tight. Not sure if you’ll be able to easily get under them. Let me know if it works. 😎
Do you happen to have a link to that cover?
David Fox Here you go. It’s also on the video description. Let me know how it goes. 😎 ua-cam.com/users/redirect?event=video_description&v=hQsjtOAO0Jc&q=https%3A%2F%2Famzn.to%2F2vFh73K&redir_token=21FpsrhtCXmhjUCWuwsuw1WOEZl8MTU4MDYwMTQxMkAxNTgwNTE1MDEy
Nice job but you could save time by going right over the old cover instead of removing all the staples. Again nice job though.
Where did you get the new cover material from and sewn ?
There are links in the video description.
Thank you so much.
Where do I get the spray and what is the name
Be blessed.
It’s gorilla spray adhesive and maybe like a hardware store like Lowe’s or Home Depot
Auto parts store
Hello, i need a suppliet of the cover for the left door handle
Link in the video description
How has this held up after 4 years?
Still doing fine
you haven’t had to redo the adhesive spray?
@TrevorBrown-mo9vb No
If you have a Ridgeline the method is different. Slide the armrest towards the dash. Don’t unscrew anything. Look inside the sliding track and locate the two slide stop tabs on each side. Ignore the thing in the middle. Use an 8” or longer medium size flathead to press the tabs down and slide it off. You might need a second screwdriver and an assistant to slide it off.
Can you tell me please what is this color name.because I need a same exact this one.
Not sure of the color name. There’s an Amazon link in the video description.
Ok thank you I can check.
What would you do if it was missing some foam?
Laura Hmm..I would probably remove all the foam and replace it. You can find foam at the craft store. 😎
@@fixinit That stiff of foam?
Laura soft foam
You only used glue? Did the spray adhesive last? I know the temps inside a car can range from whatever cold temp to even hotter than the highest outside temp. That’s to say a glue would have to adhere to both the leather and the bonded surface in both extremes, for years! Say from -20°F (-6°c) in winter to like 150°F (65°c) in direct sunlight!
Michael Ballard So far so good. That glue usually holds well plus that plastic cover holds everything in place. We’ll see.
@@fixinit that cover still holding after 2 years?
@@stevecox9955 yes
I buy 12$ only from eBay
Or like me just pre vent it buy a cover a cloth one from ebay for 15 bucks and just remove it when you want
John Ramirez That works too if you like the way it looks.
Did this wrong! You were good till ya took all the clips off and tried to glued the whole thing at once. Should have only done 1 half at a time after dry fitting it.
Very tedious process
Thanks. Quick question. When you cover the center console with the new Vinyl, do you think it makes more sense to cover from the front and back (as you did in the video) first or from side to side first? Does it matter?
Doesn’t matter. As long as everything lines up.
Same thing happened to mine along with the armrest on sides by the windows
Thanks so much for this video
Great job!
Thank you .
Thanks for watching!😎
