DIY 2012+ Civic Trunk Lid Insulator (4 Door)

What you need:
Let's Begin:
  1. Remove the existing trunk latch cover. There are a couple of hooks in the front of the cover and a release tab in the rear. Don't worry about ruining the existing cover since you will be installing a new one:

  2. Install the new trunk cover. It should slide in place easily, but make sure the left-hand hook inserts inside the latch instead of outside (highlighted with a light-green arrow in the photo below):

  3. Line up the insulator with the holes in the trunk and start installing the clips:

  4. There is one clip that is completely different from the rest:

    Install that clip in the middle of the insulator and screw it in with a screwdriver (shown below):

  5. That's it, you're done!

Yeh, but you're from Canada - EH ? motor manufactures seem to always give other Countries stuff we don't get.
I'd like to know why it isn't even available for the Coupe(NON-Si)....... There's a lot of money being lost for not offering things for Coupes (in my Book).......... Guess I could get one thing I'd like made, and that is a baseball cap that only has H on it. But there's plenty of other stuff that could be modile pacific......
COUPE
 
I was trying to do H Coupe with the H over the Coupe but was moved by the edit system.

Real nice job. But I was shocked to see the price of this thing. :escaper:Is the car any quieter as a result, or is it mainly to finish the appearance of the trunk the way Honda should have done it?

Well, I had only owned the car for a week prior to installing it, so if it reduced the noise at all, I wouldn't be a good subject to comment on that. But if anything, it does complete the appearance of the trunk interior since it looked out of place without one to begin with.
