So, for future readers who care about this item, the picture above is not good, and the one I provided is only slightly better. That is because it is not easily visible. It is pressed into the metal frame piece. Get a flashlight, get down on your knees, and look up through the lower front grill. The replacement is easy, but you will have to do it by feel unless you have surgeon or bomb-diffusion training. You won't be able to pinch the clip, but since you are replacing it, who cares, break it if you need to. I was able to work mine out. Plug and play, and back into the body frame. 2 minutes. I disagree with the discussion above, highly doubt the car wash would affect this thing, unless the guns are blowing up through the grill?
*For those who also have an RX, it is the exact same part code, maybe for the whole line, and you can replace that one in a freshly cleaned suit. Very easy.
