| I'm planning to install the roof rack with crossbars on an LX. I've been told by one person that the crossbars whistle. Do any of you experience that problem? Also, where's a good place to order genuine Honda accessories? Thanks a lot. | |
| I installed the roof rack on my 2000 LX, and while it doesn't necessarily whistle, there is definitely more wind noise in the van starting at about 45 MPH. I am thinking about taking it off, and replacing the rubber runners, because I don't use the roof rack, and the noise is annoying. It does look nice, however. | |

Just bought a new '01 LX, and had the cargo cover installed by the dealer (I was not ready to drill my car). However, when inserting or removing the cover, the grommets on the left side were both pushed into the gap between the interior and exterior panels. Thankfully, the salesperson was right there when we did it. Dealer is going to reinstall the grommets, but I suspect that the holes are drilled too big. Anyone have any experience? I'm strongly considering just asking them to install replacement grommets, refund the cost of the cover, and tossing the cover out. |
|
| I have no personal experience but it has been said here many times that the cargo cover is a poor setup and you experienced the major flaw in the system. To bad you didn't ask here before getting. I too was interested in the cover but I was lucky enough to read about how poor it is before making the decision | |
| Anyone have any opinions regarding the Nose Mask versus the Deflector. I like the idea of having some protection on the front bumper. I have heard of problems in the far past with rubbing off paint by using a nose mask. Anyone have experience with the Nose Mask? | |

|
| I bought the mask for highway trips, but leave it off otherwise. If it gets wet, you have to take it off and let it and the paint dry. I made the mistake of leaving a bra on my Saturn for too long with it wet, and it ruined the paint underneath. The mask for the Odyssey is very nice, and is extremely soft on the back - I doubt it would rub off any paint. It fits very very tight so it doesn't move around at all. | |
| I just brought an new Odyssey. My dealer offer me the teflon coating to protect paint and fiberics with cost of $295 (5yr, get a new coating each year). Does anyone use this option/service? I have few friends told me that "don't do it". I would appreciate anyone's comments and suggestions. | |

For my fabric, I bought 2 cans of Scotchgard for about $8. For the paint, I'm trusting the paint job done by Honda at the factory. I'm not sure what benefit Teflon provides for paint anyway that a decent wax job wouldn't do better. Methinks you got ripped off. |

I read all the posts and never did see anyone mention anything on rubber roof slats. My old van had them to protect the finish. I just got my 01 EX and already ordered the cross bars from hondapartsforyou.com, but found nothing on the rubber roof slats. Seems Honda never completely finished their roof rack system?? They have the indentations for the slats just no slats!!(No crossbars either)
Anyway, I went on a mission and found exactly what I was looking for (Search engine google.com)after several attempts of figuring out the name (the slats). You can get a set of 4 self-adhesive strips in varying lengths for $29.95 plus $7 s/h UPS. I am definitely ordering!! Here is the web site:

Got to be the worst design ever. I installed my self and have the opposite problem the little plastic caps stay in the grommets, then if you don't bend the heck out of the cover to get it out the side panels get all scratched up from the support pole ends. We like to leave the middle head rest out for rear view so 2 or the six hooks are always rattling around. Glad I bought over the net! We have a '99 is the front mat any better now? Never stays in place. The aftermarket we have a problem hold the mat in place bracket must have gotten 1 minute of design time make that 30 secs. |
