Replace Automatic Sliding Door Cable in 3rd Generation Honda Odyssey

Watch me remove the tail light, the door rail cover, and the inside trim to replace a broken cable on an automatic sliding door in a 3rd generation Honda Odyssey (2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010).

I'm sorry about this video. The quality is terrible on so many levels. But I wasn't planning to do this, and I was trying to get it done as quickly as possible while recording it.

Here's the write up (and video) for this job on the 2nd gen Odyssey, as it may add some insight: https://www.odyclub.com/forums/24-1999-2004-odyssey/154039-diy-fix-sliding-door-cable-using-parts-under-10-a.html
