Rear Door Lock — Removal and Installation (Honda CR-V 1)

The rear door lock works in conjunction with the latch release, which unlocks the door only after the rear window is lowered. When you turn the key in the lock, the glass unlocks. With the glass up, the door can be opened using a folding handle covered by the license plate trim. When the window is closed, the window frame rests against the latch and blocks the door opening handle.

1. Remove the rear door inner panel.

2. Remove the license plate.

3. Remove the license plate trim by unscrewing the nuts and removing the bracket.

4. Remove the bracket and disconnect the door handle lock actuator rod from the latch retainer.

5. Remove the retainer, remove the latch fasteners and move the retainer with the latch downwards.

6. Measure the rod protrusion relative to the latch retainer bracket, remove the bracket.

7. Installation is carried out in reverse order.
