I have tinted windows. It's not like a chip that has a small hole or crack. It's more like u see a paint chip, but on a window. The chip is like 1mm and the deepness of the chip is maybe 0.1mm..

Do u have tint? Why not just claim your window insurance?

If it doesn't worsen and not breaking, then I just leave it be.

Just that my car is two weeks old and has this chip on window.

QUOTE(mushigen @ Feb 16 2019, 09:07 PM)
I think it's unlikely to break. I've had chips on front windscreen which did not worsen.

In any case, if it propagates, you still have time to change it. Or you can get it patched up by those glass specialist.

If sent to windows specialist, they can fix/patch the tiny chip on the window ?

QUOTE(babylon52281 @ Feb 16 2019, 10:07 PM)
If your not looking to fix it, then no need to do anything with it but since its side window, do periodic check on the size of the crack. Unlike front windscreen which is laminated glass, side windows are tempered glass which will shatter once the penetration goes deep enough.

I bought the Windshield Repair Kit that inject resin to the glass for crack and chips. does it make any difference if my chip on window is not deep ? The chip would be still visible after patch it with resin ?

QUOTE(lil_flank @ Feb 17 2019, 12:33 AM)
I think u can ignore it since it is not a crack and u have tint.

I also done alignment at outside workshop last week and now have the same problem steering to the right slowly when driving long straight road on highway or city road. rclxub.gif

QUOTE(yeowwwai @ Feb 18 2019, 09:41 PM)
I noticed when the steering wheel is centered, the car sort of veer to the left slowly, so I have to turn the steering wheel a little bit to the right to keep it straight.
So I went to a Honda SC, to get the alignment done, along with the 1,000 km service done, but the car still requires a bit of right turn to keep it going straight..
Is alignment what I need to correct the issue..? I did not get an alignment report or whatever from the SC..

Just now went down a parking slop lane and the floor hit my front bumper at the bottom surface... got one 15cm long scratch line... sad.gif

Luckily the front bumper still intact and not dropped down.

But do you all notice there is some gap at front and rear bumpers which you can see the plastic clippers inside the gap when u parked your FL City under direct sunlight or outdoor ?

Yaya, if direct sunlight over it or you torch it with light, i can see the black brackets inside the gap...

QUOTE(babylon52281 @ Feb 19 2019, 06:14 PM)
Okay. Well, sorry to say this is quite common for this gen City. Some would say this is a defect because there are cars with much smaller or no gaps at all but on the overall this gap exist to some degree of severity. Mine too had this gap and I can see the clip if I shine light thru it. I see many gen 6 Cities as well have this and I can conclude this is a product defect.

The bumper design have insufficient screw clips at the edges to hold it in place, especially when the bumper plastic is warping (this is normal). Why insufficient? Likely due to computer CAD design of City didn't take this warping into account, and also cost cutting by reducing proper holders.

Some may accept this and some others might tell you not to accept this flaw. You can ask SC to fix it but they may risk further misalignment and paint damages, so caveat emptor. But what do I know, I'm just a dumb guy who can accept the world is not perfect and can accept flaws when there's a logical reason.

I just noticed that the photos I took on my first day when I collected my FL City, where it has a bit misaligned front grill and chrome bar near the headlamp on the right side (Highlighted in red circle in pics) compared to the left side. And the gap is different also. rclxub.gif

Anyone has this problem also ? Honda Boleh really.

I think this is the same issue I had always with my old MYvi... after alignment everytime, same thing occurs.

Even my City now having this issue...

QUOTE(babylon52281 @ Feb 21 2019, 09:58 AM)
Yeah, I too had this same issue.

If different models and different brands too had the same issue, I don't think this is a defect. As I said, there's an explanation for that but some rejected it, so c'est la vie.

Does anyone here have FL with Modulo bodykit installed ? After a month, my both sides' skirting front part have become loose and the rubber lining can see gap in between car body and the skirting. Not sure the tape or the glue not strong enough to hold the bodykit together.

Do you have this problem ?

Actually just replace the side skirtings two weeks ago due to paint issue . After replaced still looks ok and no gap... now got gap on the front part near the modulo logo and when press on the skirting can move due to the gap. blink.gif

I prefer Philip Ultinon LED, brighter for interior usage, and also good for exterior usage (position lights)
Your double sided tape is not good thus it comes out.
I dont have a problem with mine.

How long your bodykits installed ?

FYI. FL doesn't have separate position lights anymore. Its built into the DRL.

Asked to wrong person.. lol.

Actually it's second time installation already... If went to them again will be third time.

QUOTE(babylon52281 @ Feb 28 2019, 02:43 PM)
If ur referring to me, I don't have bodykit on my car. For ur case, its due to bad application of double sided tape; either they didn't press it long enough for it to hold or they put the tapes at area where less optimum contact to the body. Get them to take it out, then reapply the tape and see that they press it long enough.
