Yeah, kinda hard to see what that is. I'm thinking it's the windshield (wiper at top of photo?).

If so that could be the cowl clip.

^this!

I hit it the first time, even with your shitty ass picture and description.

Next time, when someone asks, "Where is it on the car?" tell them they were right when they guessed the windshield, don't just keep repeating yourself. I knew which part you were looking for in the picture, couldn't tell exactly what the picture was.

Dude! You're killing me! The link I posted before is to a website that sells the part!

(just make sure you put in the correct year for your TL - the link I posted is for a 2003 Type S.)

It's not an emergency so just wait until you need some other stuff and order it all at once. Or you can go to your local dealer and see if they'll match the price (or at least come close). I've had local dealers match and I've had them say no (probably depends on the part and the built-in margin), but it never hurts to ask.
