I can see why alot of folks may not want to do this, it is a bit of an annoyance to have to drill holes for something thats a 5 sec install. I just completed it myself WITHOUT buying expensive Honda tools as listed in the Honda eStore BII16037-12 directions
Tools needed:
Drill
1/8" and 1/2" drill bits
Masking tape
10mm socket
14mm wrench
Dorman 963-265D M6 rivet nut tool

Follow the PDF as descried except steps 5, 10 and 11 as noted below

Thank you so much for this! How difficult was the process to pop open the clips for the panel?

Can you tell me if I'm understanding the instructions correctly?

Steps 5-7 you're marking on the felt liner based on the plastic panel underneath. Then step 8byoure drilling though the felt, plastic, AND the metal underneath.

Then there's no step in the instructions for this, but to install the rivet nut it looks like you take the felt off again and this time remove the plastic panel (for the first time?) To expose the metal body underneath with the drilled hole.

And now install the rivet nut.

Is all that accurate? Thank you!

Popping the panel is very easy, as in the instructions on step 4 (of the PDF), once you pull the weather stripping away some its quite easy to pull the plastic.
There is NO metal to be drilled. The only drilling is through the felt and plastic. The hole in the body for the rivet is already there - you just add the rivet nut and pop it
Steps 4-13 is all done with the plastic panel pulled away.
