The plastic piece I close my door with is coming apart. Its not bad yet but it wil get worse. I have seen other cl's like this let me know what I can do. Ill take a pic if yall want

 

I too have the same problem.. it looks as if its starting to sagg

 

what plastic piece? the inside chrome handle, or the arm rest pocket part?

 

arm rest pocket part. I have seen 3 other cl's do this and acura says they wont do anything about it.

 

Got mine covered under warranty. They replaced the armrest piece. They do not need to replace the entire door panel. The armrest is about $70. The door panel comes off easily. Would be a simple DIY.

 

yes it would, but what is it doing? say you have your door open and you pull the armrest does it just pull towards you or is t actually like falling off/apart?
because if its just pulling in and out, its just a clip that probably came out and you can like punch it to get it back in.

 

I'm sure it's like all of them & is falling apart at the seam at the windows switches.

 

yep, the armrest is actually screwed into the door and screwed to the back of the door panel. no clips hold it on.

 

#13 and #16

 

eww damn another thing i need to look out for then huh? but you know how when you put the door panel back on and punch arpund it to set those clips in place? thats what i thought he was talkin about.

 

yep thats it

 

mine is doing it too. i used permenant marker to touch it up a little.

 

The dealer said some bs like 400$ to fix this. Has to be a cheap way. Ive seen many cl's that do this.....Its not to bad but its gonna get worse so I need to get it fixed before it does. Any help? I know somw of yalls cars had to do this also?

 

I just posted pic in a diff thread. check it out

 

My car has that same problem.
I just noticed it a few days ago.
Might be just a loose screw or something

 

my car has THE SAME problem on the same side, and im a paranoid freak ...HELP US!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!... it drives me INSANE

 

I think all cls have the same problemme either!

 

non! je ne pense que c'est comme ca!

 

Mine has this problem too, but i doubt it will become worse.

 

People???? I don't get it???? Another thread on this? Search man, this has been covered.

 

This is an EASY fix.

Remove your door panal - and place it on a table flipped over (to show the underside)

There is no screw holding this section in. All you need to do is use a little crazy glue and hold that section in for about 20 seconds.

I was very upset as well - as this same issue of the panal coming loose happened to my car. I took it off and it became clear as day what needed to be done.

One of the easier fixes in our CL's

see, i knew i had already seen a thread on this recently. i thought it was just a deja vu after i saw this. apparently not.

 

dont need 2 threads

I've got the same issue, heck alot of us have the same issue. Mine's probably worst then the pic, but I don't sweat it... One of these days when I have the door panel off for another reason, I'll get to it... It's purely cosmetic.

 

Mine was worse. The above post explains what I did to fix this... There is a screw/clip on the rear of this area, but for some reason - mine was loose and not fixable. I decided to crazy glue it from the inside and hold the outside (the loose section in) for about 20 sec... it is now fixed and you would never know that there was an earlier issue.

 

It sounds like some of yours may be a lot worse than mine was, so this might not work for you, but I just dropped a couple of drops of super glue into where I could see it was starting to come apart and it's holding strong. I didn't need to take the panel off like some people are suggesting.

 

.. Yeah my TL has this same 'cancer', only on the drivers side though.

 

How to remove the door panel is here (from the CL information thread):

Take the door panal off. Takes about 5 minutes. You will get a nice, professional looking fix.

 

I've been wanting to do this for a loooooooooong time, never got around to it.

The saggy armrest is very becoming of the 2nd GEN CL!
