Rear Trim Removal
#2
yes you can but I don't recommend it. I left a small pry mark in my bumper trying to get the trim out and I broke a clip.
Sometimes short cuts work, but most of the time it is better to do it the correct way.

Bonecheck that fool!
My bodyshop took the trim off in front of me.
He used a flathead screwdriver with some then cloth wrapped around it to SLOWLY pry the sucker off the back. I thought that this would break the clips, but everything was fine since he didn't rush it.
I was standing behind him while he did this and it took about 5 min.
If you take your time and wrap up your prying tool, you should be fine.

I did the rear bumper removal and found two things different than the directions show. First off I only had 6 total screws not 8 like the PDF shows. And secondly where was the need for the 10mm socket?

This is good info. But I'm also looking to remove the peices which line the sides of the rear window. Anyone know how to remove those? I'm basically going to paint all the "matte silver" peices so I can't miss those. Thanks in advance.

hi, is there instruction to change the Acura HONDA OEM 2016 RDX-Bumper Trim-Molding Trim Left 71508TX4A51?
I've looked underneath and there are 3 scews holding it in, in addition to a few clips. 2 bottom screws are easily removed but the top screw is very hard and seem like I'd have to remove the rear bumper.
Thank you
