Mine is pulling away pretty badly..I am thinking about glueing it tomorrow when I'm working on the wax job..

subtledreamer

this?



if so then yeah... as you can see mine's wraping too. 2*front and 2*back gotta glue them back i guess!

i believe that it's a common problem among 2G TLs...

No dreamer, i think he means the black rubber trim part.. I may be wrong tho :\

azdude

dreamer mine is also coming apart any ideas how to fix? what type of glue. last week i noticed it it seems to be only one side in the rear.

subtledreamer

To be honest i am not sure what type of glue i'll use since i haven't done it yet. I am thinking of something that's strong enough but won't burn the plastic and not dissolve in water... guess I'll check out Walmart/etc later today or tomorrow. If I find something good I'll post here.

subtledreamer

ohhh! i just re-read his post and i get it now... gah musta been too tired last night.



haha if that's it then... mine's not falling of yet :P and I wouldn't glue that myself if i were you. You wouldn't know what might happen to your paint when the glue lands on it.

That looks like my door panel, but mine in black and just the back doors. I was thinking about glueing them back on, but don't know what type of glue to use and wasn't sure if I would hurt anything inside the panel if the glue got inside. (ie) wiring, screws, etc. Anybody fixed this problem on their ride?

Ok aznboy, which part is it picture number one or two????

PhxAcura

definitely a common problem, according to the dealership. they just replaced the entire unit (leather handle/armrest) on both backdoors. it's covered under warranty.

bello425

That's great under warranty. Which warranty the 40k or whatever the original warranty is for the car?

aznboy

yea the one subtledreamer posted excatly but mine is in the back!

subtledreamer

alrightt so now we just need to find the right glue to stick it back in.
i would take it to the dealer, but warrenty's over a while ago.

I'm calling the dealer on Monday and see if I can either get them fixed or replaced under warranty. Wish me luck.

I have this on 2 doors.. Drivers and rear pass... I fixed the drivers, it was not too bad, but the other one is just fucked... NO GLUE is working... its eating the shit out of the foam and not adhering to the rubber properly... if anyone figures it out, let me know.

Also, the dealer told me to go fuck myself because Acura Care (the certified warranty) would not cover it. Fuckers.

Darkshear,

Are you out of warranty, is that why they refused to repair/replace it? Thanks

I got the car used, but certified. I was past the factory 50,000 mile warranty, but not past the 100,000 certified warranty. the certified warranty was the one that would not cover it. Factory warranty will cover it tho.

bello425

Thanks,

I think I have a month or so left on the factory warranty. time to set up a visit to the dealer.

bkzjimmy

mine is ripping away too....im gettin annoyed

I just recently had to replace my passenger rear armrest...had the same problem you are mentioning. Although I purchased the car as certified only 3 weeks ago, the dealer would not cover the costs under any warranty. I think it cost me about $220 for parts and labor to replace the part. The dealership told me that glue would not fix the problem.

Yeah cause no matter what fucking glue i used it just ate apart the foam and that was it.

el.cheapo

you cannot glue it back. the only way to fix it is to replace the entire panel.
i got mine off ebay for $40. you just need to keep looking...

subtledreamer

argh... damn

Took the car in for shock and spring replacement and decided to question the warranty of the back panels. Guess what i'm covered , so instead for getting my car back this afternoon, I get it back tomorrow. So I get to play around with the TSX rental for a little while longer. They didn't say if they were replacing it or not, will keep you guys informed of what happens.
