Removing Hrv Back Camera Cover: A Step-By-Step Guide

Removing the back camera cover of a Honda HR-V can be done by following these steps: first, remove the six external screws from the camera using a Phillips #0 screwdriver. Next, carefully loosen the bottom of the back half of the external case from the camera, being mindful not to lose the screws. Open the battery cover located on the bottom right side of the camera and remove the battery. Then, slide a fingernail or plastic spudger into the groove from the bottom to the top right side of the camera. Squeeze the top right corner gently and pry off the external cover. It is normal to hear a cracking sound. Continue pulling the external cover, and it will come off cleanly. Be cautious of the flash capacitor, as it carries an electrical charge that could deliver an unpleasant shock. Finally, carefully pull off the back cover, as parts behind the case may fall out.

Removing the six external screws from the camera

Step 1: Gather the necessary tools, including a Phillips #0 screwdriver, which will be used to remove the external screws.

Step 2: Locate the six external screws on the camera. These screws are crucial for holding the camera's external case together.

Step 3: Carefully insert the Phillips #0 screwdriver into the head of the first screw. Ensure that the screwdriver fits securely into the screw head to avoid slipping or damaging the screw.

Step 4: Start unscrewing the first screw by turning the screwdriver counterclockwise. Apply gentle and steady pressure to avoid stripping the screw head or damaging the surrounding components.

Step 5: Repeat the process for the remaining five screws, working your way around the camera. Take your time and ensure each screw is removed completely before moving on to the next one.

Step 6: Once all six screws have been removed, carefully set them aside in a safe place to ensure they are not lost. These screws will be needed again when reassembling the camera.

Step 7: Gently loosen the bottom of the back half of the external case from the camera. This will allow you to access the internal components and continue with the disassembly process.

Remember to work slowly and carefully throughout this process. It is important not to force anything, as this can lead to damage. Always handle the camera with care and be cautious of sensitive components, such as the flash capacitor, which can carry an electrical charge.

Snap the camera back in

To snap the camera back in, you will need to locate the clips that hold the camera in place. These clips may have broken, causing the camera to dangle. If the clips are intact, simply snap the camera back into place, ensuring it is securely attached.

If the clips are broken, you will need to order replacement clips before proceeding. You can find the relevant clips at this link: http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com...NAVI)&catcgry4=KACVT&catcgry5=REARVIEW+CAMERA. Once you have the replacement clips, take the following steps:

• Remove the panel where the backup camera sits by unscrewing or unclipping it.
• Place the new clips into the appropriate slots, ensuring they are securely attached.
• Reattach the backup camera to the new clips, snapping it firmly into place.
• Test the camera to ensure it is functioning properly.

By following these steps, you can securely snap the backup camera of your Honda HR-V back in place, ensuring it is functioning correctly and aligned correctly with the guidelines.
