Found my trunk cushions (thanks Vytas!)

[PHOEN$X]

I ran across this tip while reading the NSX Secrets thread. I went to check my trunk, and lo and behold one of them had fallen into the little crevice. It took some jerry-rigging and sweat to get the little cushion out (I used a long screwdriver), but now it's happily reseated on its trunk tab

This site is becoming more useful everyday! Thanks Vytas!

The link to the page will be working soon as the club website went down the other day. Working to get it back up.

One day I looked for my trunk cushions and started investigating on where they could have possibly gone. I found a crevise near the end of the inner quarter panel which is open enough to let water through but will trap larger objects. Low and behold I found mine. Thought I'd pass the word. Pictures of the recovery are on the club website. I just make it a habit to see that mine are still there everytime I close the trunk.

If your NSX is 1997 and newer, you don't need to worry about this problem since the tab that holds the cushion has pins sticking out on the edge requiring you to stretch the cusion over the pin. No way it can fall off. On 91-96 NSXs, the cushion was secured with a glue which will lose it's ability to keep the cushion on the tab over time.

Also look here:

Glue them on with weatherstripping adhesive after thoroughly cleaning the tab and the inside of the bumper with alcohol.

Same here! Got one with a long handled screwdriver, and the other slipped down the black hole! I cut a slice off of an old garden hose and placed it on the other stop.

Found mine today as well. Both were down in the hole behind the hinge just as expected. Wish I would have heard about the tip sooner, the driver's side has already worn the paint to the metal.
