Early Cars and Roof Striker Plates
Have only recently driven any distance with my roof up I found it was very noisy on the motorway. I also found I could get rid of the noise by pulling down on the front of the roof On inspection the two striker plates on the A pillars have grooves in them like this!
So off to the stealer with my extended warranty in hand. "sorry sir - fair wear and tear" on a 4 year old car with 18k miles "we can replace the strikers but we also need to do the catches and the seals- that will cost

The striker on the right hand side of the car physically came loose, cost me 34p to have Honda take all the seals etc off and replace the screws that hold it in place, that was the charge (17p each screw !)
Might think about replacing the strikers, in the (UK) Honda parts catalogue there are 2 options, 1 for the GT, these are also hardened probably as per the JDM spec.
Probably worth changing to them, as I have a 2000 car with hard top, don't think they would have given it the GT strikers as it didn't even exist then did it ??

Good work!
Still begs the question though, is anything actually covered under the extended warranty???

Not covered so far on a 4 year old 18k mile car!
Drivers seat side bolster collapsing
headlight with water in it due to failed seal on unit
Worn striker plates due to poor materials
All declined on the "fear wear and tear" clause
Still I am reassured if I have problems with the clutch, engine, gearbox etc it should go through on the warranty!
