Earlier today I noticed this rubber (??) molding somehow dislodging itself. It sits under the rear spoiler on the hatch. What can I do to fix this??

That’s funny. Same issue on my 2012. Just keep tucking it back in.

Yeah, I do that too, every time I get into my car. I use a credit card to push it up as high as it can reach. Even if I'm making a short trip to the grocery store, which is only a 1/4 mile away from my house, at no more than 30MPH, it pops right back out. I don't think it's going to be very much longer before it blows completely off of my car, especially, if I should be on an expressway, at speeds of 70+MPH. I try my best to keep my car in great condition, and this has my OCD in hyper overdrive. I also don't feel like paying a stealership hundreds of dollars for something that I might be able to fix myself, for little, or, no cost to me.

Should be a pretty easy fix for a body shop to take off and glue back on. Should be cheaper than a dealer

I was hoping to see if anyone here knew how to remove the rear spoiler. If I can figure that out, I can fix it myself and save a lot of $$$

Here are some photos if you want to replace the anti vibration tape

VERY COOL!!!!!!!! TYVM!!!!!!!!! It's supposed to be cold and nasty outside the next few days here, but this makes it look easy enough for me to do myself. I am sure that either a stealership or even a local body shop would charge me hundreds of dollars to replace. This looks like I can go to Home Depot and get a strip of rubberized weather seal, and install it myself, probably for less than $20.

Where / Who did you get the sway bar from?! I've been looking for them for some time now...

You can buy them on ebay or any one of the tens of acura parts distributors, I'd recommend Bernardi Parts if you want new, but if you go used get them from LKQ on ebay, got my engine and transmission from them, no complaints, just make sure if you do decide to get the sway bar just get the 2 bigger bushings (52306-TK5-A01) as well.

My only complaint as well as whats stopped me from doing it over the two years ive owned mine is the fact that there's old threads about the install from around 2013 and stuff where they say that they bought the bar itself for around 80$, and now brand new its over 200.
