I bought a set of jdm door panels for my crx and i dont know that they fit properly or if the american jdm door panel needs modification please help.. It looks as though the jdm panels are like inch longer than my norm door panels or theres 1 less piece on the jdm door than the american door if this makes sense?

 

post up pix? not sure what you mean

 

Well the metal thing on the right side of the door it not allowing me to put the door panel on now i know its been a while since i've had door panels but now im putting jdm door panels vs usdm is there any modification needed on the USDM door vs the jdm door? as u can see in the pic its just like and inch too long but the rest of it fits perfectly

 

right there that metal piece does it need to be cut? am i missing something?

 

The problem is that you have a later car with door mounted seatbelts and jdm cars didn't. The door is different so this will not be a direct fit.

 

so what is your suggestion to make them fit?

 

Hopefully this isn't the only way but i think JDM, 88' or 89' HF doors will make it work...

 

Convert to pillar belts.
Come to Canada. All our CRX's are pillar.

 

can i not just cut into the door a little to make them fit

 

do it right, or do it again.

 

what exactly does that mean?

 

He's saying just change the whole door the one without the seatbelt mounted on the door instead of cutting or moddin it and making a mess and if you mess up.. you just screwed up a perfect door plus all that labor you done ... lol so just do it right and just change the door

 

just cut CAREFULLY into the door so it fits, and be happy with it. Not worth it to change doors just to get different panels to fit IMHO

 

It is worth it to get rid of the door-mounted seatbelts.

 

there is a complete write up on how to install b pillar seat belts actuall i cant remeber which side already has some holes for the belts, just get some b pillar()1988() belts, sut small whole in b pillar and hang belts search for the write up bro gl

 

Instead of cutting into the structure of the door or installing door that won't fit well, why don't you just mod the door panels? It a hell of alot easier and wont ruin you car.

 

Smple solution for u.
Use your old door panels and cut them so the switches fit. Then fill so e tweeter where the manual window crank used to be. Then your done

 

ok door panels modded and they fit now any advice on bolting the pivot point to the pillar mounted seat belts?

 

seriously, there is a write-up on door to pillar mounted seatbelts. do it right, or do it again.

 

....lol or buy my jdm doors and put your panels on them and be done and have power windows?

 

rofl at this thread!
