My OCD struck back fiercely today in the form of a broken bottom grill trim piece. It was loose to start with (top right/driver clip broken) and I should have left it alone but NOOO....I had to fiddle with it. The outside cold didn't help matters. I thought I'd use some Plastibond epoxy and use it to re-anchor, but the stuff hardened way too fast and the plastic ended up finally breaking when I pushed the trim down into it. SNAP! Followed by several seconds of swearing. I went ahead and ordered another bottom trim piece.
My question is what holds it? Does it 'snap' into place or did they actually use a screw of some kind on the backside? If there is hardware I'm assuming the radiator bonnet has to come off, and do those round tabs just pull up? I have the forked interior trim removal tool. My '05 TSX looks really good for it's age and I'd really like to keep it that way. I'm frustrated I messed with that trim to begin with-should have just let it be. Thanks for reading...in the future I'm not going to mess with plastic pieces in the cold.
