2005 TL interior plastic rivets help identify please!
Hello,
Been here a long time, but mostly lurk and learn. I posted a video to help others (and glad it's been useful). Now I come to you hoping someone can give me an item number. I enclose pictures of my 2005 TL with the trunk liner falling off. I need to identify the right fasteners and order them. Part of the problem is there are many different types of fasteners so that even looking for them online gives too many results.
Can anyone identify the part number I'd need to order for this 2005 Acura TL trunk? The trunk liner is falling off (ignore the backpacks, it's just camping stuff).
Two of the various fastener holes visible, but no more fasteners! The fasteners go in here, if there were fasteners!
I tried in the past to get them from the Acura dealership near me, but the guy there was so inept, he gave me the wrong ones TWICE! I guess we could have a discussion on such problems, but the best solution would be to identify the number and just order them myself. So if any geniuses on here could help me out, I'd be forever thankful!

My best guess would be #18 on the link below; however, it does not appear to be specified, anymore, on the part # list below?
Therefore, you my need to gamble on #17 and give it a go?
If you have the receipt, from the inept Acura dealer, with the part # for the old clips that did not work, you can at least eliminate those.
Good Luck!
Thank you for the quick response. It wasn't #18, but your hint pointed me towards a practical solution.
After checking the diagram, I realized there was another fastener so I pulled it out of the trunk and took it to the local Oreilly's Auto Parts. There was no exact Honda/Acura part, but I found a Chrysler retainer (model 963-033D) that was the closest. It was about 4 bucks with tax and I was able to reattach the trunk liner. I enclose a picture
You can see the fastener I removed from the car and the others. The only difference is the Chrysler fastener has a slightly wider head (which is not a problem where it's being used) and maybe a couple millimeters shorter (again, not a problem). I share this in case anyone else finds themselves with the same problem.
Thanks!
