Product Details

The Honda OEM Rear Seat Lock Knob is a genuine factory replacement designed for the 2002-2006 Acura RSX (DC5), including both Base and Type-S models equipped with the Titanium interior. Finished in factory Titanium (YR233L), this small but essential interior component restores the original appearance and functionality of your RSX's rear seat release mechanism.

Originally installed on the Acura RSX, this genuine OEM knob is part of the rear seatback locking and release assembly. It provides a convenient gripping point for operating the rear seat lock, allowing the rear seatbacks to be released and folded down when additional cargo space is needed.

Over time, factory rear seat lock knobs can become scratched, cracked, worn, or missing due to repeated use and age. A damaged or missing knob can make releasing the rear seatback difficult and detract from the vehicle's original interior appearance.

Manufactured to Honda and Acura's original equipment specifications, this genuine replacement knob offers the correct factory design, color, and fitment for compatible RSX models. Whether you're restoring your RSX Type-S, refreshing a high-mileage daily driver, or repairing a broken rear seat release, this OEM component provides an affordable factory-correct solution.

Installation Notes

Before installation, inspect the existing rear seat lock mechanism for damaged components, broken retaining hardware, or missing parts.
Locate the original rear seat lock knob on the rear seatback assembly. Carefully remove the damaged or worn knob using the appropriate factory removal procedure.
Avoid excessive force during removal, as older interior plastic components can become brittle with age.
Inspect the exposed seatback release mechanism to ensure it moves freely and is not bent, seized, or otherwise damaged.
Install the new Honda OEM rear seat lock knob in the original mounting location, making sure it is properly seated and secured.
After installation, operate the rear seat release mechanism several times to confirm that the knob functions correctly and that the seatback releases and locks securely.

Note:

Includes one genuine Honda / Acura rear seat lock knob in Titanium. The rear seat lock collar, latch mechanism, seatback assembly, and additional interior components are sold separately. Two knobs are required to replace both rear seat lock knobs.

For Acura RSX owners restoring their interior or replacing a damaged rear seat release knob, this genuine Honda OEM component provides the correct factory color, fitment, and functionality for a clean, original appearance.
