Well, in my world it should stay open until I shut it. It's hard enough getting myself turned around while in the seat to even get it open. Then it keeps falling shut. So no, I don't guess they designed it to stay open.

There's a little project for the inventor types.

Mine stays open when I open it to the maximum extent - it sort of clicks and then remains open. It would be a nightmare to change CD cartridges otherwise...

Hey Alister,

Thanks for the tip. It seemed kind of fragile so I never pushed it past that first bit of resistance. (I've busted a few things in my life.) My faith is restored in the Honda designers.

The mini gas shock still isn't a bad idea though Quik S2K.

maybe you had the hood down ! otherwise with roof up, should click and stay.


I fit a 20-CD carry case, a map book and my cap in there + sunglasses in the front bay, it's real neat

My dealer didn;t know about it. I was reading the manual waiting for the finance guys and found it. My dealer was like: Whoh!

Sometimes it pays to: RTFM!
































(Read the ing manual)

Of course they do. Only problem is, most of them don't know as much about the car as we do. The last time I bought a new car, the salesman, who was very nice and I enjoyed doing business with for the most part, went over the car with a fine toothed comb. That I already new 95% of what he was telling me didn't make a difference.

I was reminded of a quote I remember Hawkeye telling Frank Burns in the old "M.A.S.H." television show; "You don't have to tell us the incredibly obvious, the merely obvious will do!"

Drive Safe,
