guys pls take a look at this...

just bought my 05 tl for less than a month, didn't notice this until today...





is this because someone was trying to break into my car? has anyone seen this before? is it possible to fix it by myself, or do I have to go to the stealership?

Thats inside of the car..

IMO goto the dealership and see what they can do if its like 30-50 bucks i'd say go wit em but if its 100-200 try to fix it yourself looks like u jus gotta pop it back into place

i jus startd noticing problems wit mine...and its 2 years after lol


Good luck

It looks like the only thing wrong is the door panel isn't attached. There's a thread on removing it somewhere.....give me a second.

...okay. at the top of this thread, https://acurazine.com/forums/3g-tl-2004-2008-93/kp-technologies-window-roll-up-module-install-3g-garage-i-097-a-596643/, it shows you how to take it off. Putting it back on is very simple. I had to do it once to the driver front door and it literally pops in place. Don't waste money going anywhere to get it put back on.

Is there tint on the windows? It must not been put back correctly after removing the panel to install the moleskin. Just a hunch if there is window tint.

looks to me like 1 of two things.
1. The spring clips let go and it popped up
2. (this is possible with no tint) The UV Rays have warped the panel and popped it out.

See if u can push it back into place.

Are your speakers stock? Has anyone ever had the door panel off to do modifications to your knowledge? I would follow the instructions in the link provided by Rob RiL and try to secure the interior door panel.

Not to hijack the thread, but can you talk a little about why you got rid of the CTS and how it compares to the TL? I had eliminated the CTS when I bought my TL based on Consumer Reports reliability data and my own experience with the outstanding Honda reliability.
