#216 of 225 "winterize"?? by kork13 Oct 14, 2007 (10:20 am)
So it's about time for me to do my first oil change, and was just curious if anyone sees it as necessary for me to do anything in the way of "winterizing" my car while I'm at it. I'm in Colorado Springs, so we get alot of cold/snow during the winters. We usually get first snow around late October, then it just doesn't stop snowing until March. I got an undercoating when I first bought my car, but haven't done anything with it at all (tires, fluids, seals, etc.) since then. If you think anything is necessary, any guidance would be appreciated. thx
#217 of 225 2003 Civic SiR side moulding clips by dgussin Jan 11, 2008 (11:36 am)
Hi all,   The side moulding on my '03 SIR came loose a few days ago, and I'm looking for the stainless steel bar(s) that are affixed to the rocker panel which the side moulding clips on to. I bought the car off-lease and I guess the previous owner had the same problem and had the side mouldings attached using two-way tape and some kind of adhesive. Naturally this was a temporary solution and it has since failed. I have not been able to find these stainless steel bars ANYWHERE; each of the honda parts sites I have visited have shown the equivalent parts for the '04 Civic SiR, but they changed the design in '04 such that the moulding is screwed into the rocker panel (instead of being hinged on this stainless steel bar I'm looking for). Below is a link to the schematic for the '04 Civc moulding (notice the part labelled 16/18: it bolts to the rocker panel).   2004 Civic SiR Moulding Side - Sill Garnish   Does anybody know where I can get the stainless steel bars that would be affixed to the rocker panel that the side moulding clips onto?   Desperately, Dave Replies to this message: Mr_Shiftright (Jan 12, 2008 9:07 am) dgussin (Jan 12, 2008 9:40 am) dgussin (Jan 12, 2008 9:40 am) Mr_Shiftright (Jan 13, 2008 12:19 pm)

Replying to: dgussin (Jan 11, 2008 11:36 am) The dealer should be able to order those for you. Replies to this message: dgussin (Jan 12, 2008 9:40 am) dgussin (Jan 12, 2008 9:40 am) Mr_Shiftright (Jan 13, 2008 12:19 pm)

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Jan 12, 2008 9:07 am) You're right, they should, but they said that they weren't able to order them because Honda doesn't make the parts anymore.   I later found out that the part I'm looking for is part of a kit and is for the "side under spoiler". www.handa-accessories.com stocks the whole kit but they won't sell me the pieces I need. So it's either $400 or I find some non-permanent way to fix it. Replies to this message: dgussin (Jan 12, 2008 9:40 am) Mr_Shiftright (Jan 13, 2008 12:19 pm)

Replying to: dgussin (Jan 12, 2008 9:40 am) Which of course, begs the question, "Where does Handa Accessories get their parts from?"

Replying to: dgussin (Jan 12, 2008 9:40 am) Try another dealer by phone. I don't believe they would discontinue this part. I think they just blew you off. Too lazy, chump change part, don't bother me, don't have time, I don't care about your molding. You know, the attitude we all know and love.   Keep tryin'. If you get the same story from 3 dealers, okay then, I give up and eat my hat.

#223 of 225 Re: noise over bumps [barretthead] by kork13 Jan 19, 2008 (2:21 pm)
Replying to: barretthead (Jun 06, 2007 7:00 am) barrett, i had the same problem with my '07 si. I brought it into the dealer and they replaced something with my front strut (i'm not much of a mechanical-type, so i'm not sure exactly) -- they seemed to know exactly what it was when i described it to them, so it's probably a bit more wide-spread than might be preferred...

Replying to: barretthead (Jun 06, 2007 7:00 am) I took delivery of a 008 Civic SI sedan 07/04/08, and within a couple of days I noticed exactly what you described in your 007, a slight chucking noise when going over slight roughness. I took it back to the dealer (Redwood City Honda) and they diagnosed a defective left front strut, ordered one, and replaced it within a few days. The noise was gone.   Unfortunately, I also have the cracking noise (like noisy human joints!) when parking, and I haven't decided whether this requires another trip to the dealer. RKS
