Bought a 2018 RDX with tech package. Attaching a picture of broken foam piece that goes around the spare tire stabilizing it. Any idea what I can use to glue this foam piece back into place?

It also help hold up the rubber part of the floor right near the entrance of the trunk, so without it that piece is popping up. So it would be good to fix.

Also attaching pictures of a piece that seems to have come off… any idea if it’s easy to put back on? I tried briefly and could tell I was not understanding something.

Any help would be appreciated!
What can I use to glue this foam piece back into place? I see what looks like a yellow foam/glue that it looks like the factory maybe used. What is that?

Not sure how to reattach this.

Anyone know what this is? Was sitting in the trunk area.

I got the front KYB spring/strut assemblies, and rear KYB shocks. I would have gone FCS with everything, since I've heard they ride softer, but I already had the KYB's from a few years ago.

I'm finding a few videos on YouTube, but they all seem a bit hack-ish.

As I said, any tips or torque specs could be great, I'm reading stuff that's all over the place, like to make sure to torque the suspension bolts when the car is on the ground to prevent bushing preload?

And some guys replace the dust covers, bearings, stoppers, and other guys don't. My car has 170K miles, so I'm looking to do whatever I need to in order to get it to go another 100K.

Also, there is some sort of rear adjustment that's either bad or maxed out that my alignment guy keeps talking about replacing. Does anyone know anything about that?

Cheers,

-Andrew
