I have a 91 CRX Si and the edges of the rear inner panels by the door is cracked (See Pics)



I was wondering, can just that piece be replaced or do I have to get a whole new rear section like in the pic? If so, how much would you pay for the rear sections like in the pics? Also, are the panels the same for all 88-91 CRXs? I found a pair from an 88 CRX Si and need to know if they will fit my 91 CRX before I buy it. TIA

 

Mine cracked just like that. Happened when my G/f slammed the seat belt in the door. DOH!!!

Don't you just hate whoever invented that damn seatbelt-on-the-door idea. It pisses me off, I've had to have the door area repainted twice now, because of my idiot friends and sisters slamming the seatbelt in the door.

Yeah I do hate that...when she did it, I cringed like a ****...and she's like, "What's wrong?" as she untangles the seatbelt from betwixt the door and frame...and I'm like, "Nothin', hon..." through my clenched teeth...

aaaahhhhhhhahahahah...that is so true. Everytime I've had girl in my car that is the same senario "what's wrong"......."nothing".

 

I'm glad you guys can sympathize with me here...but can anyone answer my questions? Thanks

 

Sorry, I really don't know what panels are separate back there. You might be able to find some detailed pics and breakdown pics on hondaautomotiveparts.com - other than that, I'm not sure. But I am interested if you find out!

Another thought is that a custom interior shop may be able to repair the cracks for a reasonable price.

nah it seems like it's all one piece.
Find a junkyard with a CRX and clean the **** out of the panel.
I may have a CRX at the junkyard i go to, black 91 si, i'm gona strip it of a sunroof assembly tomorrow to sell. (place is charging me $30 for the whole assembly, prolly $15 for the interior, inc headliner and ****, thing was hit in the rear so i dunno if the back panel survived.

and yea the seatbelt design is crap, on my car theres a dozen deep scratches by the latch on the passenger side, and NONE on the drivers side.. ****** passengers. i'll just take it out and attach a 4 point harness to the cage, problem solved. hehe.

 

In reality you guys should be praising the person that came up with that design, because if he didn't, we wouldn't have had any CRX's past 1989.... Damn passive restraint system.......

You're going to sell the sunroof panel and all the components? I'm lookin to buy a new panel...if you want to sell it, I may want to buy it from you. As long as it's rust free and in good overall shape...gimme a holler.

Sorry to get off-topic, but it caught my eye.

Well since no one really answered any of my questions, I ended up bidding on them off EBay and won for $67 plus $45 shipping. I guess I'll find out my answers when I get the pieces. Do you guys think I got a good deal on them or no?

 

i said it couldnt be done
And GOD DAMN THATS ALOT OF MONEY FOR THOSE, THEY'RE 5 $ at my junkyard! i gota find me a set to sell.
(i payed 25$ for the rear speaker brackets before so who am i to judge )

edit: But to make you feel better the dealerships would charge more for those!

OK well I checked the Majestic Honda Parts and they sell the panels new for $97 EACH so I guess $67 for both used isn't too bad. Oh well.

 

i got them for free, i was buying the two front Si seats too for my DX, so the guy there just threw them in with the seats

 

i found 2 sets at my junkyard last week, they didnt charge me (bought a sunroof assembly at the same time), they're for sale on ebay now, gona get about $20 each set. made mah money back. woohoo!
My sunroof is going up for sale on ebay but i'm gona post in the forsale section here to helpout my fellow honda-tech'ers.
