Hi,

I replaced the starter during the process of which I had to remove the front grille cover. After I was done, I reinstalled the grille cover, (part number:71123-TA5-A00), but the hood didn't latch anymore. I removed the grille cover, and it latched just fine.
So I assumed the pins are the issues, I removed it temporarily, ordered new pins, reinstalled it, still didn't latch.

Can someone help me with what the issue is?

Thanks

 

Something is probably just not reinstalled correctly.

There are two long clips and six short clips for the cover. The clips should be inserted in the correct holes, respectively.

 

Thank you for your reply. In fact, I've used all smaller pins still no luck

 

Turns out I was stupid enough not to fit the front side of the grille cover under the metal. After that it's fixed.
