It is like $10. I just bought one to remove the keyhole from the drivers side door.

There is a TSB. Maybe you'll get a freebie.

This one:

TSB 07-043: Outer Door Handle Extension Falls Off

It's actually 2 pieces. The base on the door and the cap that just pops/snaps on to it.

I've heard those lil covers are known for falling off. Shouldnt cost that much to get it replaced at Jerry Damson Acura. They seem more than willing to honor warranty repairs. I've never had a problem with them.

I haven't had that problem yet, but my brother-in-law has had two of them fall off. He had the dealer replace them while it was still under warranty.

Maybe that's why there is a TSB. Just spitballin' here, I could be wrong.

tsb is a tsb... it is not a warranty issue... meaning it doesn't matter if you are out of warranty they still have to do it no?

If it is out of warranty- then all we can hope for is that the dealer will goodwill the job per the TSB. Someone in the know- correct me if I am wrong.

Why? What if your remote's battery dies?

Go get a new battery. I think it'll still unlock your car just fine with a weakened battery. There is plenty of degradation of performance to let you know it's time to replace the battery without it stranding you.

The main thing some will lose by hiding that keyhole is the ability to roll up all the windows at once, unless they've installed the window roll-up module.
