Rear window dampers for a eg

By Honda4life
- Tue May 18, 2010 7:49 am #195015 So I was wondering if anyone knew how to take the rear window dampers off and install new ones from a 92 Honda civic hatch and how hard is it to do and where I can buy new dampers? Also I went to the dealer just to see how much they are and of course there gonna be hella expensive at Honda $103 for each, crazy :?

They come off by loosening the bolts.
Yeah don't do to the local dealership, they'll rape you.

$68 each. Junk Yard will be your best deal :thumb:

Very easy. Note, the struts are special order, so it might take couple of days but it will come and you will be so happy to install the new unit.
