2014 Acura TSX ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/cartalk/original/3X/3/a/3aafcdb7985b7f1f6455334b986cf5406972d858.jpeg) ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/cartalk/original/3X/9/8/98f4bfbb0e2cca9f4dadedc516b596c06e3e543f.jpeg) Anyone know how to remove this trim? There’s an arrow with “L” and “R”, which I assume I need to but some sort of allen key or socket into to release the trim? I’m not entirely sure. ---

The retaining pins holding the trim should be similar to door panel retainers. The “L” “R” access hole is for headlight adjustment. ---

Thanks. I think you are right. I believe that plastic piece is called ### GARNISH, L. FR. FENDER 74207-TL0-G00 And the three pins are ## CLIP, FR. COWL 91501-SEA-003 ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/cartalk/original/3X/1/9/1909a7ef407837f160cc796e0e8dde8e260fbdf7.png) ![image](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/cartalk/original/3X/7/f/7f0cf44aad7c969106813ad61f8fa22c8d7af500.png) Confusing to me because there’s only two clips on my car. But it looks like there was supposed to be a third clip in the “L [arrow] R” hole that is missing. Seems easy enough to pull the clips up. ---

That L-R opening is probably for access by a screwdriver to adjust headlights. It should not be plugged or blocked. ---

I have said this before - Yoshi needs to put down the tools and back away from the vehicle .
