now what with all the grief people have been having with getting there roof rust sorted under warranty whether it be because honda uk are taking ages to get back to the dealer or that bond uk are claiming they no nothing about this. i have the holy grail that will help everybody get there roof fixed without any problems.
only today i traveled to my nearest approved body repair centre to be told it will be fixed with no problems and without contacting honda uk.
the bulletin even claims that honda are not to touch the roof rust unless the owner/buyer mentions it! and that in some instances it can be fixed without contacting honda uk at all
i hope this helps guys and if it does please get in touch to let me know
feel free to print this off and use at your disposal
Does anyone know where I would stand, I had water leaking in at the front interior light, checked the roof and it looks like it's starting to rust although I haven't removed the seals to check fully.
I have full service history but only part honda and I bought it privately..
59 plate CTR by the way
Thanks guys
Mine is a 58 plate (I think the warranty period would end on the 22nd of this month), took it in to Hendy in Southampton, service guy was very positive, thinks it shouldn't be a problem and started a warranty claim. Just waiting to hear back about when it'll get fixed.
But if a strange one, my 2009 type r has signs of this starting on the front of the roof, but it also has it on the rear of the roof, 2 3rds of the way across the back rim.
Just had mine done under warranty by honda over in hull. Full roof respray and new seal, 2009 type r milano red 54k on clock, they just required proof of servicing and i also printed off the roof recall bulitin on here and took that with me.
Just wondering with those that have had this work done under warranty…*When showing your service history record was it all Honda stamps or a mix of Honda and independent garages? Also, what was the process? Did you email Honda first or just go into your local Honda dealer?
I'm still waiting for a decision as I only submitted yesterday but I called honda UK first, got a reference number and then called my local honda dealer and made an appointment. My car has all honda dealer servicing except the the last one which was done by the dealer i bought the car from.
I have recently bought a 2007 type r, it has full honda history and 2 owners from new.
Unfortunately it suffers from the rusty roof! It's not as bad as some I saw but it is bubbling.
I spoke to the local honda dealership who have serviced the car for the previous owner, they won't cover it due to it being more than 6 years old. They opened a case with honda UK and I haven't heard anything for a few weeks now.
It's not covered under the corrosion warranty as it's the rubber seal that's at fault which is covered under the 3 years warranty that they extended to another 3 years. Saying this my civic is 8 years old and not full dealer history and they are going to fix it!! ?
Got the car back from having the roof done by a dealer under warranty. Really pleased
Didn't think I would qualify for it tbh, but now really pleased I asked them to look into it for me.
I'm going for this just submitted a form to honda uk so see wot happens
