I had to open up my interior door panel to fix a noise I heard and fix some gaps. Everything went real smooth but of course I broke that little plastic cap that goes over the screw by the handle. Acura said that would be a special order item, but I was trying to figure out what part it is from carland, I figured there would be at least 2 part numbers since the cl has tan and black interiors...

is it part 16 here?

 

I'd say so

 

only problem, how do i know if its tan or black? :\

 

i am not sure if the handles are black on both the tan and black interior???anywho here is a site where you can purchase it.... worst case you are out a whole $1.53


after you click on this link just choose "Door Locks" as the system component

Just specify that you want a Black one under comments when you place the order.

 

Just put a drop of silicone on the head of the screw and put the cover back on.

 

what is he supposed to do when he wants to take the poanel off again? I think it is worth the $4 to get new ones..

 

Its just silicone. The piece will pop right off when you put a flat head screw driver in that slot on the side. Hell use Elmers glue, or any mild adhesive. I accidently broke both of the clips on my accord awhile back and it worked fine. I also had to remove the clip once later and it was not a problem. Just tryin to help the guy out!

 

the cover on my driver's side door has a little dab of black (silicon?) adhesive to keep it in place. i think it came that way from the factory since the pass. side one was ok (i think).
