Default Re: Calling all HCH-II owners....Please check around your decklid spoiler.

don't just mention it. fax him a copy of the poll, and refer him to this site, so honda can't plead ignorance, so we can get more attention to this matter from higher up, like a tsb or something.

.

Note to Self: Stay out of assist!

No more scuffs or marks near the edges. Everything still clean. So I would suggest that the spoiler does move or flex while we drive the car.

To me, this is really good news. I really don't want to paint the trunklid again, it is getting heavy. LOL.

Eric.
Any update on this issue, from anyone? My dealer called yesterday. The district manager looked at it and took pictures about a month ago. The dealer asked if they could have the car for one week. They want to take photos, talk directly to Honda, and see if they can find a solution. Not sure if they know about the tape solution, but I had directed them to GH for more info. I'll print this post out for them in case they didn't find it.

Letting them have the car for a week is not a problem for me, hopefully they didn't just need an extra loaner that they could use for a week.

About a week ago, I got my car back from my dealer who was "fixing" this problem. They took the car to a body shop who took the spoiler off, buffed the paint, and reattached the spoiler with a double sided sticky foam called "EPT" or "ETP" or something like that. They said it would keep the spoiler from moving, and to call if I had any more problems.

So, I'll keep an eye on it and report back when I am convinced one way or the other.

Anyone else experiencing any progress on this issue?

Exclamation Re: Calling all HCH-II owners....Please check around your decklid spoiler.

Just picked up my 06 HCHII and it has the spoiler issue. What I suspect is that the spoiler is made out of some kind of urethane and it is mounted to a steel decklid. The coefficient of thermal expansion for urethane is about 100X that of steel. I'll measure the spoiler's length hot and cold and report back.
