Fit perfectly and now my sliding door works again!Note that the cable is of slightly smaller gauge that the original – I’m hoping that they’ll last as long but for now all is good.

Works great
The product is ready to use. Much lower price than Honda and the quality is good. I followed instructions on youtube to replace my broken cable and it works just fine.

Perfect fit, and much easier to install than the cable only kits
This will be my fourth replacement of the driver’s side sliding door cable. The first time I replaced the cable it lasted about a week, the second time a month, the third time 18 months, and I’m hopeful that this latest replacement will be the last.For the first three replacements I opted only to buy the cables with the separate ferules. And, I made the mistake of buying a couple different ferule crimping tools. But, ultimately, none of them were able to crimp the ferules tight enough, and I ended up having to manually crimp them with vice grips. For two of the three failures, it was this ferule connection that ultimately ended up slipping, then causing the motor to mangle the cables and require replacements.That’s why I was excited to find this kit which has the ferules already factory attached, eliminating the likely point of failure. Unlike one reviewer mentioned, the ferules were the perfect size for the spindle, and required no filing or alterations.Having replaced the cable multiple times, the latest install took a little less than two hours. The first time around was easily 4 or 5 hours. As others have pointed out, there are plenty of YouTube videos on the replacement which can be followed.A few tips from the install:1. Take pictures of the motor housing once the cover is removed to help with reassembly. There is a front and a back to the cable winding spindle that you remove, and you’ll want to ensure that the cable running to the front is secured on the front, and the back on the back. Taking pictures will make the reassembly much easier.2. Don’t try to secure the tensioners or cable guides first when adding back the spindle to the motor. Once the appropriately wound spindle is in position, then put the tensioners and cable guides in place. If the tensioners are already in place, the spindle will try to spin and rotate, and the tensioners will try to pop out, and it will be extremely frustrating. One commenter suggested using zip ties to hold the tensioners slack during the process, which is clever and helps, but, it’s much easier simply to insert them at the end.3. As mentioned by others, the plastic pieces containing pulleys which route the cable are easily disassembled. For both of them, you should be able to separate them using only your fingers, and once exposed, there is a simple pin that slides out, allowing removal of the pulley. With this kit, it’s much more obvious that there’s no way to route the cable without removing the pulley, but with uncrimped ferules, it’s tempting (and frustrating) to try to thread it through without.

Fit well
It was a quality part and fit my 2015 Honda Odyssey like a glove, saving me nearly a thousand dollars if I had the dealer do it. Fairly simple install if you are handy but takes a few hours.

Sliding Door Cables
My previous door cables on my 2016 Honda Odyssey were frayed and would not allow the door to close. Purchasing these cables allowed me to replace the worn, frayed cables and repair the door mechanism to function normally again. I purchased two sets just in case the other door starts showing the same symptoms.

Used to fix a broken sliding door on a 2012 Odyssey
The door on a 2012 Odyssey stopped working because the steel cable snapped. This kit replaces both cables on each side for a total of 4 cables. The process of installing the cables on the driver’s side took me a little over an hour. Not a hard project for the mechanically inclined. It requires removing the interior side panel. Then it’s just a matter of opening up the spool and pulley on the motor. The old cable was damaged and tangled. With some effort, I got it out. I had to straighten some of the grooves in the pulley, but then easily installed the new cables. I also replaced the rear rollers on the door, and it works as good as new now.

I installed these cables on the passenger side of my 2012 odyssey and they were really easy to work with and fit perfectly. Saved me a ton of money by not replacing the motor like honda would make me do. I found a YouTube video to follow and it was certainly a nuisance working around the AC, but the cables themselves are the proper length and they come with all the necessary pieces to make it a breeze (just time consuming). But nothing really to swap over from the old broken set. Performed the relearn and the door is properly functioning again. I will do a follow up review if I find they don’t last. Now to replace the rollers so the doors slide easier.
