Any liquiq wax will do, Meg Ultimate Liquiq wax but it abit more expensive, if u really just want for light protection, u try Soft99 Glaco Blave which is inexpensive, it claim got uv block so should be can avoid from turning yellow, me myself love to use wax because it also make ur lamp more shining happy.gif

How bout this product? Will it be better than Soft99 Glaco Blave?

I saw someone selling tempered glass screen protector for RM 35 in facebook.

Wonder this one better or just the normal RM20 one?

Don't get the tempered one. I ordered mine from taobao, cost me only 8bux. But I can't get it to stick properly on our screen cause I feel like our screen is a bit curve and the border can't stick properly. Going to get a normal screen protector. Someone mentioned here that we are not going to drop our HU, so tempered is not necessary, which I think is very true. 😂😂

Thanks bro. If the screen is slightly curved, then cannot get tempered glass liao.

My 1.8s have the infamous rattling sound near the push start stop area.

Anyone manage to fix it at SC? Sometimes the rattling sound can get really loud.....

Really disappointed with Honda QC.

Just less than a week old, my car now has a constant rattling sound from the steering wheel horn cover. When press lightly on the upper horn cover, the sound is gone.

And there is this occassionally really LOUD rattling sound from the push start button. Arghhh..

Now need to on music louder to make forget bout all these annoying noises. Speaking bout music, I read from previous post that some forummer complain bout the bad quality of the speaker? But mine seems pretty good with punchy bass. Honda changed the speaker?

Having the rattling sound on my driver side dashboard. It getting worst after 2 months.Yours seem bad even at the 1st week..inform your SA or when u send to SC for service inform them. The rattling issue had been raised by some.Look into page 1 issues reported. From there u will roughly know what are the issue.
Am sending mine for 10k service soon.Will inform the SC as well.its really annoying.will update after the service.

Yeah, read bout the issue b4 bought the car. Was hoping mine will be free from rattling sound, but too bad.

Will raise my issue to SC during 1k service. Hopefully they will be able to fix it.

Went to SC to report on the rattling sound on my dashboard when running on uneven road. The SA told me need to put my car there 2 days for them to inspect.
Told me that they will dismantle the whole dashboard to check and will test and make sure the sound is fully address to.
Feeling sad as the car is only 3mths old

So you are leaving your car to them?

Sometimes dunno whether service center can be trusted or not. Who knows one of the technician owned a civic and he swapped away your newer parts!

Im not leaving it today as I will need to use my car to work.Weekends only for service and this caused a lot inconvinience to me.But no choice I had make an appointment at the end of the month where I can leave it there.
If they really wana swap, no need to leave the car there also.Service time they can do wat ever they want as we are not allow to go in the service bay. Though i'm concern on the issue you raised but it leave me no choice.

I've rattling issues too. If SC request to put car overnight dunno I will do it or not.

Our Malaysia Civic don't have this cool feature where we can auto window roll down using the remote key?

Use OBD???

Normally use the plug or fuse box.
*
Its a dashcam specifically made for Civic Gen X.

Looks nice as it fit on perfectly on the rear mirror. But its using OBD as power source. Scared Honda will void warranty.

You not scare it spoil your OBD? This Dashcam from China got proper QC or not?

Seems like got some certification or something. Alot of positive review from users.

It's just using OBD to draw voltage, shouldn't be any problems?

QUOTE(zilch28 @ Mar 18 2017, 12:00 PM)
Or you could just get a adapter to convert it?
*
Dunno the wire will be long enough or not since its design to reach OBD socket only. Maybe will search for other models then.

Bought civic 1.5 tcp last november. Was totally surprised with the poor quality of modern honda car.

1) peeling clearcoat @ roof panel - fixed by SC with some questionable repaint quality (overspray & dripping)

2) uneven door paint rear RHS - fixed by SC. Acceptable quality

3) vsa clicking noise - not yet fixed

4) windshield rubber frame crack & torn causing wind crackling sound & possibly water leakage - this one really takes the cake. 4 months car, 7000km, 90% covered car park suffer from this issue. SC told rubber degraded. Warranty claim is quite hassle with long waiting period for replacement.

5) misaligned door - SC tried to fix by adjusting the rubber seal. But does not solve the problem at all. Still misaligned as if the car had an accident & had a bad repair job.

6) various rattle, creaks & odd noise in the car - can somehow live with it but.. Come on..

7) lots of dust trapped in the meter cluster - same above

8) twisted & inconsistent rubber seals around doors & trunk space - same above

disappointed & regret with the purchase. Never had this much problem on a brand new car before, not even a proton or perodua. Wondering if im expecting too much for a 130k car..

Regarding issue no.3, vsa clicking noise, what is it about?

I have this clicking sound always after start the car, but only like 3 to 4 click sounds, then no more liao. Is this an issue?

Clicking sound from the engine while driving is normal for direct injection vehicles. But rattling noise from VSA is totally different - normally when you drive on uneven roads - or driving fast on small yellow painted speed bumps on the road. It's a loud fast clicking noise - originating from below the steering wheel. Don't have the video but a few people posted on this thread. Try to search in previous posts / thread.
*
The sound its not from engine. Its from somewhere around the push start stop button. So the VSA is not supposed to have clicking sound at all? Omg! I always thought its VSA in action so it will click. Hmmm

QUOTE(ssyy @ Mar 20 2017, 09:44 AM)
Its the intermittent click you hear at the driver area. In my case, its clicking on unenven surface, potholes and sudden braking.
*
Ya, I got it too. Sometimes when going through uneven road I can hear a few clicks. So its not normal?

I did a car wash over the weekend and noticed that there was moisture trapped in my read lights. Took some pictures as attached.
The moisture evaporated on its own after a while, but I'm not happy that it's so easy for moisture to get into the lights.

Will show this to the SC when I go for my 1K service. Anyone have any idea what they will do about this?

I got this problem too in the first few days after getting my car. But the problem is gone now somehow.

No more moisture in the headlamps. Maybe u can try to observe first.

Abit off topic, anyone here familiar with Soft99 products?

I wanna apply Fusso 12 months coat on my car and I will be using Soft99 Meta Clean prior to polish my car.

But the problem is, Soft99 Meta Clean is a cleaner wax and I only realized it after I bought it.

So my question is, will the Fusso 12 months coat bond well after I use the meta cleaner?

Thanks in advance!

Hahahaha.
I was in the same situation like you. Bought meta clean. Then fusso 12months.
I cleaned with meta clean 2 weeks ago. Then upon washing, meta clean goes off. Maybe because the shampoo I used is not neutral. Last week applied fusso12. So far still shining. But how long it will last I duno. Bought soft99 gold class shampoo and Meguiars quik wax too. Wanna apply next week.

Any sifu can tell?
*
So u didn't apply fusso straight after using meta clean?

I wanted to do that, but I'm afraid that fusso will not bond well due to meta cleaner
