Exactly! It seems honda want to do the cheapest thing possible, and as a side note all future conversations will be recorded......

Hi saw posts on rust problem this morning, went straight out to check having only had car for 1 month.No signs on my doors but will now keep checking, why should we need to do this on 06 cars. This forum is great for finding things like this but now I spend more time checking for faults than driving it (2.2 EX 5d).

Fingers crossed yours won't ever be affected, it is from what the bodyshopguy said a problem due to the angle at which the doors sits, which the 5dr doesn't have (your doors are about 5-6inches shorter than the S/R models).

ATB,
Tom

it appears that honda want to come down and have a look at my car.... i guess the last few days has been bust in the office with lots of dealers ringing them about rust lol!!!

the estimate has come thru for the repair to the corner sections of both doors at just under £400.

i think i wll go ahead with this but want clarification on how the warranty stands after repair.....

Why would you need an estimate, surely they'll pay under the 3 year anti corrosion warranty?????

just got a call, honda have approved repair. a few more details to be cleared up like back order of parts etc but at least the ball is rolling now!

cnicolini · 3rd April 2008, 17:01

Hey guys my car is only 6 months old and there was a little on the drivers door, but only surface rust at the moment. I had to rub it and then use rust remedy on it, then added a coat of clear lacquer just incase! I think that the paint is really thin there and the rubber seems to rub on it everytime you shut the door. I think I will also add some wax to this part and then grease it, that should do the trick.

As my car is only 6 months old if I were you I'd keep an eye on this, its not good!

brawnr · 3rd April 2008, 20:07

Just checked mine...and there's RUST on the drivers door!!! Passenger door seems OK.

ante00 · 3rd April 2008, 20:32

got time to check my 5 door few moments ago and there is no rust so as we all know it's 3 door problem and I see what is it...you can see second pic in first post and notice black tape where it ends....on 5 door model that tape goes till edge and on 3 door model doesn't....tomorrow I can post pics on 5 door model...

gray52 · 3rd April 2008, 20:45

but is there rust under the black tape on the 5 doors? i will just have to hope there isnt.

ante00 · 3rd April 2008, 20:56

as I saw there isn't any hole or similar thing throu which water can get in; since tape is very tight to metal and on other forum where I posted pictures no body found rust on FK models so far.....hope that it'll stay that way....I think problem is like I decribed in post before

TTDegs · 3rd April 2008, 23:05

At the moment, the poll says:
3 door WITH rust = 4
3 door NO rust = 5
5 door WITH rust = 0
5 door NO rust = 11

chan_chung · 3rd April 2008, 23:28

hi everyone this is my 1st post here.. im really worry about my car now, i can't check it as its with honda at the moment as its getting some warranty things done, i might go up there on saturday to check if there is any rust so they can have a look at it as its already there.. i hope there aint any rust! so worried now!

gray52 · 3rd April 2008, 23:31

so look like they type s & r owners now have somthing else to worry about on top of all the other problems with the civic

cnicolini · 4th April 2008, 06:13

Looking at the rubber strip that covers this section, it looks like that it falls short of covering the complete top section, this is then exposed to water. I suppose if you catch it early like I have and treat it, it should be fine. Just put some rust remedy on it and give it a coat of paint.

The rubbers around the door also seemed to be coated in oil on my car, so I suppose if you keep this section greased up then you should nt get any water build up there.

sambuca2907 · 4th April 2008, 19:37

Damn... think I had better go and check this tomorrow when there's some light...

sambuca2907 · 5th April 2008, 17:21

Well.... me to!

Poll stands as follows:
3 door WITH rust = 5
3 door NO rust = 5
5 door WITH rust = 0
5 door NO rust = 11

sambuca2907 · 5th April 2008, 17:22

Would be interesting to find out... those 3 doors WITHOUT rust... how old they are...

I'd put money on them being newer...
