Just took my car in to get an air leak checked out, gillman honda did a fine job aligning the top, didnt have to order or install any parts, done in 2 1/2 hours, but they also drove my car for 20miles, i thought that was really shitty, when i took the car on the access road to show the service writer, the air leak it took maybe 2 miles, couldnt tell if they took my car joyridn, but i wouldnt doubt it, i wrote the mileage on the palm of my hand thats how i was sure.

 

When I take my car to the deal I always reset the trip "b" to zero and flip it back to "a". It shows you how many miles they drive your car without getting ink on yourself.

I had the same problem and the replaced the latches and it fine now, the air leak occurred at 60+.

Just a quick question... I hear air leaking in at about 88+ is this normal or should I have them check it out..

I just figured it was normal for that high of speed... Please let me know..

The times I have detected a air leak I simply used the silicone lube on the seals as specified in the owners manual. Since my car does not seem to have a problem requiring adjustment using the silicone has always solved the problem.

 

I used the silicon... I just have a feeling if I tell my dealer the roof leaks some air when I am doing 100, they are going to say it is normal...

Just wanted some insight on whether or not it is normal... Or do I need to adjust the top and/or latches..

 

hey don itrs def. not normal, i would hear mine at 50mph plus and i had to take it to about 80mph becuase the service wrtier said he didnt hear it, and about 75 to 80mph he says oh that noise

 

Then, you look at the Service Write up, and it has the miles the car had on it when you took it in for service...

A few miles is okay....over 10 is a no, unless there is a good reason to drive my car that far for service....(wouldn't know what that reason would be, but better be a good one...)

Plus I don't think the tech would reset both, and if they did, I would have to question them why the trips were reset....

I wouldn't want the service tech cruising at 100 mph to find a noise in my car.
Others on this board hand write the milage on the service ticket where it's clearly noticeable, then they place a sticky note on the dashboard with the same number.
