Also to note these clips are crazy expensive- 2.65 a pop so be car€ful but they are plastic and perishable so not much one can do sometimes.

Might be useful, here are part numbers for a few that broke. Didn't know but different plastic trim parts for different areas. 91503 SZ3 003 6 of them 91505 59A 003 4 of them 91506 59A 003 2 of them

Just as an FYI,, old hat to most of ye but I said I'd give my experience. Changed the infernal bulb this evening. Initially started under the passenger wheel arch but was blocked by the air intake, then took out battery, no access either. Removed bumper and then had access to remove the...

My car is in Ireland and was a UK import. So head to your local Honda main dealer and get the process started. If you have any issues PM me and I'll give you the contact details of a guy in Honda Ireland who I contacted (pestered) to get mine sorted.

Mine was a 2008 (8th Generation) accord and Honda honored changing the sun roof. I don't think this is a warranty issue but more of a "the sunroof was defective from inital manufacture" issue. Go to Honda and they should change it for free. If not kick up a fuss and contact Honda UK (I had to...

I use a free Fuel Log app on the android. Basic and very good, keeps track of MPG and fuel costs and works out the cost per mile. Highly recommend.

Yeah saw that... The biker nearly got a very close up of the DPF.

Two things come to mind, includes the problems I've been having. 1. If there is a sun roof check for corrosion around the rubber seal, pull back the rubber seal and if you rust then trouble... 2. Also check for binding rear brakes, take it for a test spin for 5 miles and check the temperature...

All, to keep you posted below is a proposed resolution by Honda Ireland, Honda Ireland have come back to me and basically their offer is to give me a heavy discount. The numbers are as follows Full Cost of sunroof is €872.09 + (plus VAT 23%) €200.58 + plus labour (1 hour should cover) of €90 =...

Just asked a guy I know with the same year Honda as me and I check his sun roof... and there it was, same as my own, "beautiful" brown rust!!! Will now contact Honda for a 3rd time and see if they are interested in looking into this, after all it is their product that is defective and I would...

Yeah just as I suspected, mine is not an isolated incident. **** poor that Honda don't own up and admit the problem and come to some compromise to a resolution. Those cases of corrosion will only increase as time goes by. If a person does not check for corrosion then the first sign of a problem...

Yeah, I had a very similar problem when my car was under warranty. Very annoying squeak when I leaned into the seat. Honda sorted it, think it was some of the foam rubbing against one of the metal supports.

Cheers, I've more than the sunroof to worry about. :wub: :wub: :wub:

Yeah the quote was around €950 At the mo the best I can do is around €400 - €450. Getting married is a few weeks so cash flying in all directions :D Thanks

Cheers Brett... I think that it is a little more than surface rust and is starting to compromise the seating of that rubber seal. The other problem is that I will not be able to take that rubber strip off so it'll be a case of patching up as best I can until a sunroof appears at a breakers...

Thanks brett for your help. My time is limited at the moment so I'm not in a position to go after Honda for compensation that I'll probably not get. My options are as probably as follows; Clean up the sunroof as best I can, remove as much as the rust as possible and use the remedy you suggested...

Pictures Below First Tilt Sun Roof Peel Back the Rubber and have a look at the carnage. I rate this as bad to severe rust. Forgive the quality, rain interrupted photo shoot. The only reason I found it was when I saw specs of rust on the sun roof frame about 5 weeks ago while looking at...

Will do Brett, will try and get some photos up (weather dependent). I'm reluctant to go body shop as the weather strip is molded onto the sun roof. Not much hope of getting back on after removal. Will put up some photos for you to look at

Agreed as I suspect (unless mine is a one off) that there will be other cases appearing as time goes by. I have tried but not much more I can do unless I go legal and that is not for me.

To keep this thread updated as it may prove useful to others who may come upon this issue (and I think that there will be if this is a manufacturing defect). I called Honda head office in Dublin and they said that the Sun Roof Corrosion is not covered under the extended warranty (just covered...
