2005-2010 Honda Odyssey sliding door roller-Most common fix.

Hi! My name is James Koorey. Today I will give you a step-by-step tutorial on how to repair a 2005 Honda Odyssey minivan sliding door middle roller.

I bought the roller from the Honda dealership for under $50 and spent 30 minutes repairing it.

Don't be afraid to do this yourself with some basic hand tools.

Thank you and please smash the like BUTTON!!

Super helpful--thanks for the video!
I would suggest anyone doing this to quickly disconnect the negative battery terminal after you get the door in the right position, but before you attach the cables to the new roller. I watched in horror as the motor somehow got activated as I was trying to attach the cable to the roller, and it reeled the cable in, which meant needing to tear apart the inside to get the door roller motor, turning this 20 minutes project into a multi-hour one. I disconnected the battery for the second door, followed the video, and it took literally 18 minutes start to finish.

I just wanted to say thank you for such an excellently prepared and narrated video. I replaced this part on both of my slider doors yesterday. Because of your instruction, the entire job took me about an hour to finish both doors. I am especially grateful for the explanation of the real amount of time this job took you. It gave me the confidence to try this on a Sunday afternoon. Each one of these would have been a thousand dollar repair at the dealership. Your instruction just saved me $2, 000. Thank you.

Just did this fix today! Not so bad after all. Pointers for those doing the fix:
* Open the door about 6 inches, and then turn the door power off. This is far enough to get at the mechanism. With the power off, you can easily move the trolley later.
* I used the box from Amazon to cushion the door an a floor jack. worked fine.
* Remove the slider cover,
* after removing the E-Clip, use a iron rod to extend the hammer's reach and you can easily tap the pin out without removing the fixed part of the mechanism from the door, thereby not messing with the door's slignment and saving a great deal of hassle.
* After removing the pin, slide the trolley towards the rear of the vehicle (no power needed, you turned that off), about halfway down the track is the best place to remove and re-apply the cable ends.
* Before replacing the trolley in the rail, tie a piece of string to hold the spring compressed, you can cut this away later, but it makes it much easier to get the pin back in.
* Use the iron rod to extend the hammer's reach to seat the pin again.
* With the door is mostly closed, the track cover is easier to remove and replace.

My wife gave me an ultimatum to fix the sliding door on her '08 Odyssey and this video was extremely helpful. The steps were laid out so nicely in the video that for brownie points I went ahead and replaced the other side and promptly told her about my pro-activity. Thanks again for posting!

Worked great. Ditto on the comment about removing the pin without unbolting the assembly from the door. I braced the door and then used a C clamp to press the pin out. No hammering and no alignment required later. Thanks again!

Thank you! Still helping people in 2022. The door on our 2010 Odyssey wouldn’t work on hills, and we live on a hill, so the kids all had to climb out on the other side. My husband and I bought the parts and did this repair on both doors in about an hour and we are back in business!

[MicahDanielSmith]

Follow up to my previous comment - watched this video once, ordered the part, then watched it again and performed the steps with you once the roller arrived. Super straight forward. Thanks so much for putting this together. My one comment to anyone else...the cover part that he pulls off with the window down...it slides forward towards the front of the car, then off. I tried to just pull mine off and ended up cutting my hand. Slide forward, then off.

Our passenger side door started doing that so we just stopped using it and now the driver side door is doing the same thing. I was dreading having to fix it but it looks pretty simple. Thanks for the concise video, extremely helpful. Your son did a great job filming, too!

Thanks for the video!! I did the driver side yesterday on our 2010. I wish all my auto repairs went as smooth. I marked the location of the plate that mounts to the door for re-alignment after bolting it back on to make it easy. There were two recesses facing to the rear of the vehicle on the bracket that bolts to the door so I grabbed a Sharpie and put "dots" where the recess edges touched the door, one more mark for centering I put on the top side (on the door and the bracket); that was plenty to get my alignment perfect!
ONE YEAR later (04/21/18) and replacing the other door roller! Thanks again for excellent video!

Thank you for the video. A roller on my passenger side door broke last weekend. After watching this I ordered an OEM from Amazon $51 shipped to my house and replaced it today. Not a difficult job thank to an easy to follow step by step turorial.

[mathedeldavis]

Thank You for this video. I ordered rollers for both doors for $68. It took my nephew under an hour to complete 🙌🏾🔥

James: Thanks for posting this. I did the replacement this weekend and it only took about 30 minutes. Great detail in your video! 3 pointers: (1) if ordering the door parts from Amazon - make sure that they are the parts for the automatic doors and not the manual doors. The first order I placed never specified a difference and they sent the manual door rollers. Had to do an exchange. (2) Be cautious when removing the retaining ring from the pint that holds the clamp to the rollers. Mine popped off and went flying thru the air. Landed about 5 feet away and spent a few minutes searching for it. (3) Have patience. The only struggle was getting the pin/cable back into place. Took more than a few attempts but it finally worked. Overall - very simple process.

I used this video as a guide to replace the passenger side roller assembly on my 2008 Odyssey about a year ago, worked great. The driver's side just failed. Ordered the part on EBAY $33.50 shipped. Decided to look for a video guide before I started and VOILA! Your video popped up. Thank you.

[CinKoDel]

Alright guys ;) Just did both of mine, video definitely help me and thank you a lot, I saw the video of some guy tearing apart his entire van and thought to myself there's no way I need to do all of this.. I was able to get both doors done in 45 minutes together but I didn't unbolt them I simply knocked out that center pin and it went easy as pie.
For anyone wondering I put a crowbar upside down on the center pin after I remove the lock clip and hammered the Crowbar to pop the pin out the bottom.

Alright guys... im out...lol

Seriously thank you!

[joelbeck]

Thanks for this great instructional video. Just changed one out on our van, and what a difference. And, doing it myself saved a good chunk of change, too! I appreciate your sharing this with us online.

Simplest instructional video on how to replace center door carriage on 2010 Honda Odyssey! Thanks for the video, Saved me a costly dealer visit!

[MrKinetik]

Thanks for posting this. This helped me fix my driver side door on my 2007. The hardest part was getting screws out that were too tight or stripped. The tips about the sliding door placement are major!

[rileymiller]

You nailed it man!! Thanks! Took me 35 minutes. Gonna do the other one tomorrow. I did nick the side of the van with the panel tab, but I can’t believe how easy that was.

[epicenterwellness]

in 2020 your video still saving us time and $$!! Thank you for creating this. I followed others' suggestions and popped that pin out without removing the bracket from the door.

[CJB]

Thank you for this! I wish everyone I spoke to that know something about this issue didn't tell me it was expensive and hard to do... been putting it off and letting the door rock a bit because it still opened. But yesterday mine fell off the track in a lowes parking lot. Got it back together but only after denting and scratching the side of my van... this is super simple and I'm grateful for this video showing how to do it!
