ok, I have hood rattling problem, it happens only when I start the car. After driving a while it does not rattle anymore. Also, this happens pretty randomly...
I have a front strut bar, do I have to take it off before going to honda and ask them to fix it? I am almost at the warrantee period...

I just called my honda dealer and he said he doesnt see any TSB regarding the rain vibration. Is it under a different name? What specifically is the coz of the rain vibration. What is a B-pipe?

The hood rattle is probably caused by the strut bar touching a hose and making it vibrate. That's what mine was. Otherwise, the hood could be too loose. Just adjust those rubber stoppers so the hood sits higher and closes securely.

Rep Power: 297 so, my guarantee is almost up, there is no actual problem on the car...except the hood rattling which might due to my strut bar...
So can I go to Honda to get a full check of the car and tell them to fix anything which is wrong? Or should I leave the car alone as it does not have visible problems...
thanks

Can you ZIP and send me the ones you have? If they're not too large, then I can try and host them.

Just FYI, my 05 has the "rocking driver seat" problem. Haven't had time to take it in to the stealership and leave it overnight yet to get it fixed so it may or may not be the height adjustment bushings.
My car also had issues with the fuel door not releasing (had to bend the latch to make it work) and my trunk is all out of adjustment as to I have to slam the trunk to close it and the body lines don't line up at all. Last time the dealership looked at it, they told me to bring it back so the body shop could look at it since it wasn't a misalingment in the latch.
And to think I bought this car because everyone bragged about honda quality.
Edit: Forgot to add about my issue with the keyless entry only working about 80% of the time and a metallic clunk I hear from the rear of the car if I hit a good size bump. I just rolled over to 6k miles too

I've owned a Subaru Hatchback 5-speed, Pontiac Firebird Formula, Toyota Corrolla, Pontiac Grand-Am, and drove my wife's Acura Integra many years and this car BY FAR is the worst driving experience I ever had.
Stick that up your pipe Honda!

Rep Power: 0 I have a re-occuring water leak, and after bringing the car for a second time to the dealer, they called me today that the water leak I have is more serious than they thought. My dealer has been talking to Honda Canada because water is coming is through the welds of the body, from the engine compartment and from underneath the car. The dealer told me that Someone from Honda Canada might have to come down to look at the car...not good news...is there any action I can take? Can I somehow force them to give me a new car ...lol

Rep Power: 0 I have a 2004 EL with lots of rattles...
It has about 35000km right now...
Hopefully somebody can send me the TSB to wing122 at gmail.com
1. Engine rattle (mechanical rattle? could be valve?)
2. Front dash rattle from center console area. Fricking service guy ripped everything apart and didn't put them back correctly. I had to push the gauge back in and some of the vents.
3. Windows rattle(clicking noise over bumps), I can sometimes get rid of it if i move the windows up and down a little, but very annoying when 3/4 windows does the same thing at the same time.
4. Passenger door rattle in the lock area.
5. Fuel gauge inaccurate. Not sure if it is, but the needle can point at E and I still have a few litres of gas. Maybe it's safety measure.
If anybody has the TSB in pdf format, plz plz plz send it to me.
