Fit like a glove, and is working fine! - 2 YEAR UPDATE

My earlier review below stands.Here's an update after a little under 2.5 years:It worked flawlessly, until it didn't. It just stopped working one day. And unfortunately it failed in the unlocked state. I couldn't even manually push the door lock down. Needless to say, that was a bit worrisome.I ordered another actuator (different brand) and had it installed in about an hour. Hopefully this one may give me closer to the OEM lifespan of 10 years my original one did. But only time will tell.Original review:Perfect replacement for my left/rear door. It took me about 45 minutes to replace the part from opening the box until the door was sealed back up and working like new.An impact driver removed the 3 screws holding the lock to the door like cutting warm butter. Getting the lock and actuator removed from inside the door panel was the hardest part until I realized that removing the white plastic channel from the components made it much easier.I'll admit I took a bunch of pictures before removing the single screw holding the actuator onto the locking mechanism, and I'm glad I did. Even though I removed it slowly and carefully, one of the parts fell off. And since it fit on either way, without the pics, I may have had to do the job twice if I just happened to pick the wrong way to reinstall it.Bottom line: I spent 45 minutes and $13 to fix it myself, rather than the $335 the dealer quoted me. Really Honda? Make a profit, but get serious.

Pros
  • Works great. Plug and play. Seems to be OEM quality. Great purchase.
Cons
  • Can be difficult to locate a replacement if damaged
