Cloth tan interior with spotted seats? by ramblinmo
Dec 02, 2008 (5:11 pm)

Wondering how pervasive this problem is. I'm skipping the long story of me ending up with the tan/beige interior that I didn't really want.
 
I know that nothing has been spilled on the seats, but the slightest rain drops seem to leave a grayish stain on the "premium" cloth seats as if something is soaking through from the padding underneath.
 
Anyone else have this problem?
 
07 EX 4 cylinder 5 seat.

It probably won't help you now but I have the same cloth seats on my 07 EXV6 and as soon as we bought the car I sprayed the whole interior with Scotch Gard. I used two cans and covered everything twice. To this day, over a year of ownership, nothing has stained the seats including spills from my grandsons juice box and coffee from my wife.
 
I use an auto upholstery cleaner and everything wipes right up. The interior looks as good now as the day we bought it.

Windshield Icing Up by tsm280z

Does anyone have a problem with the inside of the windshield fogging/icing up?
I've played with different settings on the controls including the on/off switch for the air recirculation. During a humid summer day the inside will fog up ... on a cold winter day it will ice up.
Any help will be appreciated.

seems to me that the "defogging logic" is turned off, you can reset it and see if that helps. Check your manual for details, its on section 4 page 80 in my '08 manual (Canadian model)

Thanks but I tried that already. My manual says when thet switch is "on" the light will be lit and it recirculates the inside cabin air. When it's off the light is off and it gets the air from the outside. Either position I still have the problem. Have tried playing with combinations with the rotary dial for heater controls and the switch.

not sure whether you have manual or auto air, mine is manual and a/c light only comes on automatically in the foot/defrost or full defrost position - the recirculating light does not come on, unless you press the button. The a/c light can be turned off in either of these positions by pressing the button or it will turn off automatically if you turn the knob to any of the other positions on the dial.
 
I've had the problems you mentioned but its always cleared up without much problem. Make sure the air filter (cabin) is okay as it may require cleaning or replacement depending on the conditions where you live. Check all your outputs as indicated in your manual and make sure you getting full air flow with each one.
 
(this forum is a pain when it makes no provision for you to provide your location or details on what you drive so that it shows with each posting, also not providing any signatures or avatar - way behind the times - they keep saying changes are coming but nothing materializes)

FWIW, I can see your location and some other info by just floating the mouse pointer over your name in your posts. And I can see details on what cars you drive by just clicking on your name. Personally I prefer that approach to having all that info with every post, and I think signatures and avatars are clutter that get in the way of the content of the discussions. But it's easy to copy/paste a signature and even an image with your avatar into each of your posts, if that is something you like to do. Just proves the old saying, "You can please some people some of the time..." etc.

Would purchasing Rondo give me features of my current vehicle by autowrite

If I purchased a Canadian 2009 Rondo V6 would I have these similar featues of my current 2002 Honda Odyssey EX? namely, front & rear heaters and controls for the rear passengers for the heat & A/C. Hit cement post when backing up with no depression, just a few scratches (2 kms/hr). Good for 500,000 kms. I have 215,000 on Odyssey. Do not have fog lights; but would want separate switch as they blind coming at me. A friend has 3 Rondos in family. Our daughter just bought one (4cyl).
Would want factovr tint. The BIG problem would be the squeezing the large storage space I currently have.for exanded trips. (2 people & piles of luggage including 2 sewing machines {not business}). Maybe I'll have to stick with my current size vehicle for next purchase. Retired senior.

Headlights stay on (as a running light) when motor is running for all Canadian vehicles; this is the law; not so in the USA.
My headlight bulbs have never needed replacing in the 214,000 kilometers I have had my 2002 Honda Odyssey. Will this be the same for the Rondo?
