has anyone installed a door visor (piece of plastic above the door to stop rain)... on their Insight?

my SA told me that the OEM door visor from Honda not out yet.

not out yet? tot it is one of the components in beta package?

meaning they dun sell it individually yet?

but anyway, for me, i would against the idea of installing door visor, the car would look less sporty after the installation. it does not really look good, just my 2 cents.

Today i turned off radio and when accelerate I hear some very slight grinding noise, not sure if ts from the electric motor or gearbox, no noise when back off the pedal. Anyone hears the same noise from their insight?

Also, anyone check their tyres pressure? I find my insight's ride a bit harsh on rough road and hope it can be improved by decrease a bit of tyre pressure.

@westlife; Your reply doesn't help in the least. I have checked 6 dealers in and out of the Klang Valley. The reason why I would post in here is to leverage on people who would happen to know. If you know, a reply would be much appreciated. Otherwise, I would prefer if you simply did not reply.

The items in Beta package were sidesteps, trunk tray, footwell light and sports pedal only.

Fart means releasing a good amount of dirty air from stomach via a$$hole. In a car, its a no no. I always keep mine until the next stop. biggrin.gif

Nothing to do with alignment I think.

The grinding noise only can be heard when radio is off and when you accellerate, not loud but if you pay attention it can be heard.

Apart from this everything else is perfectly fine.

Is there any vibration comes with the grinding noise? And does the noise reflects the road condition you're traveling on?

If the grinding noise/ harshness come and go, its your road & tyres. If its consistent no matter on any pavement surface, you might have some problem.

The noise is not from the glove box.

It is only audible when accelerate, and off when decelerate. It seems that I am not alone here and I guess it is related to the electric motor.

Also, I just checked the tyre pressure. It is 315KPA at the front and 310 KPA at the rear, this caused the harsh ride for the past 2 weeks.

I have decreased the tyre pressure to 230KPA front and 220KPA rear as recommended by Honda. The ride now is so much softer and quiet, but expect significant drop in FC as well as life span of the bridgestone turanza.

Big tips everytime taking home new car/s: Deflate the tyres according to manufacturer recommendation. tongue.gif All new cars were super inflated to prevent tyre dead spot when ship or store.

Are u confirm its the sound of electric motor? What are your current mileage? Please refer back to Honda. I hope its an isolated case or we're all doom.
