Trim Panoramic glass roof - rear sun blind problem

Howard · 21st July 2007, 22:25

Hi, I am trying to find out if anyone else has suffered the problem that I am experiencing with my rear sun blind.

On sunny days, not that we've had many recently, my rear sun blind does not open properly. It doesn't open at all, unless I happen to press it, but then it nearly takes my fingers off!!! Once it has opened then it works perfect everytime! Typical!!!

I guess something is expanding in the heat which prevents it from opening properly. My local dealership has looked at resolving it and re-lubricated all the moving parts but the problem still exists.

Unfortunately I can't book the car in to the dealership in advance as I'll have to be able to predict the weather which is not an easy task!

If you haven't experienced this problem can anyone tell me how to get in touch with Honda direct?

Cheers

"bump"

Maybe my questions were too specific!

I now know that toots also has a similar problem with a sunblind.

Anyone else?

Otherwise, I absolutely love my red Civic 1.8 ES, wow what a car, heaven!

Mine is fine, only had it a week though.
Sorry not to be of any help.
