Acura TLX Door Won't Close How To Replace Door Lock Actuator 2015 - 2017

In this video I will show you how to replace the door lock actuator on a 2015 Acura TLX.
Parts:
72150 - T0A-A02: OEM Acura door lock actuator. This part goes for about 110.00 USD as of Feb, 2024. I recommend the OEM version over aftermarket. I am not affiliated with Acura in any way. I have less problems with electrical components when it is OEM.
Tools:
1/4" ratchet Flexhead: amzn.to/3VQGdDA
10mm socket 1/4": amzn.to/3VCmise
T30 1/4 socket: amzn.to/3W4LM1r
Philips Head Screw Driver: amzn.to/3Rcg8OC
Pocket Screw Driver : amzn.to/3HkKHym
- This is a combo kit comes with a small Philips screwdriver. We will only need the flathead but this is the best value for the price
Craftsman Pick set: amzn.to/3W0etwl
-Not used in this video but can come in handy for some of the clips
Panel Popper: amzn.to/3Y6WciH
Plastic bone tool with panel popper combo kit: amzn.to/492sEYH

I do custom after market door actuators all the time but sometimes these come by and I just never felt confident tackling it. Thanks for the straightforward explanations. Can't wait for this car to come in now, thanks!
