Ok, so my rear window split this morning. I have a road trip this weekend, and I need a replacement. How much is Honda going to soak me for this? And is it covered under warranty?

Thanks

SilverKnight

nope not under warrnaty, plastic is 250 plabor is maybe 550 total cost is close to $1k I think.

How did you split it? cold weather opening it up?

SCoach

Cold weather opening is right. Someone should give a warning that putting the top down in 65 degree weather is not permissible. I live in friggin Florida. Didn't expect THAT problem.

$1k bucks. Terrific. My ownership experience just went from awesome to not-so-thrilled.

SilverKnight

yeh we had a thread on it a few days ago. 65 degrees? I just opened it at 54 degrees the other day a few times. I think the limit is 40-45 or so. Weird 65......

Please tell me that's a typo.

SilverKnight

56 is still bad

I've opened or closed the top many times when temps were in the lower 50s, so I'm having a hard time understanding why or how the window cracked in 65 degree weather.

What have you been using to clean and maintain your rear window?

alexf20c

Silver, I was talking about "Millyun"

SilverKnight

he was using those dust cleaner cans and used them upside down dry ice instant

Normally I wash the car with Mothers car wash, and I've used a mothers or meguiars product twice to take scratches off the plastic window. There was no obvious problem with the window prior to this morning.

I suppose I'll use clear tape on the window to keep the rain out for the next week or so until I can get the damn thing replaced. What A PITA. At least this time, I'll be able to keep it nice and hopefully relatively scratch free.
