front window molding

I got close to zero experience on car stuff, so any advice is appreciated.

Problem:
Molding on the right side of the front window was falling off, and I got someone from repair shop to glue it back. back seems it wasn't glued tightly enough, and one day I realized it was gone.


My question:
1. is this part number correct for a 2012 TSX + tech, NH782M Acura: (73152-TL2-305ZK)

2. deal quote 450 or so for fix. online price is 161 or so. If I buy online, will repairshop be able to install it? or deal is preferred?

thanks again for reading this.




Kit, Garnish(NH782M) - Acura (73152-TL2-305ZK)

my side molding came loose (under warranty). The dealership just adds glue and tapes it down for like a weekend. I'm sure a repairshop can handle it.

I recently had this problem on driver's side. I used Goop Auto adhesive to install using attached TSB.

Note, if windshield is replaced the trim must be removed and tech may damage/destroy the trim due to adhesive. Adhesive is necessary to securely attach trim. Clips alone won't hold particularly under auto wash machines action.

Good Luck

My 2010 TSX A pillar molding was pulling back. I did a search on here and someone suggested filling the chamber with 3M Black Super Weatherstrip (#08008). I ordered it on Amazon for like $10.50. Filled it up and duck taped it down for about 15 hours. I did this about 2 months ago and it's still very solid. The A pillar modeling has been an issue with this car. Some got a recall..mine did not.
