This might actually be a fun topic, a chance to be creative!

Some thugs broke into my buddies car (1990 something silverado, I know its not Honda but you guys are the best techies I know on the web)) by destroying the door latch instead of being nice and smashing the window. The door won't shut.

We need a super classy (sarcasm) way to keep the door shut untill he gets money for new door inards!

He is currenty running a loop of cable out the window and through the back window to keep it shut but now he can close the window when it rains.

and..... GO!!

 

Zip ties save lives.

Are the inner robs bent and the hold down clips broken?

 

Have you pulled the door panel and looked to see if the lock assembly is not just jammed open, [pretty sure TheAsian meant bent rods].

Try disconnecting anything connected to the lock assembly, here is a Honda one #2... http://acuraautomotiveparts.org/acur...ystemcomp=List All&vinnoT=&trim=&trans=&view=normal 94
