sorry to hear that happened to you guys. When I got my ep3 in 04, same problem with 2nd. Seems like honda haven't improved with the sam peoblems.
My remedy, baby that/ those gear(s) ;D
First, find type r seatbelt.
Second, remove panel and compare seat belt assembly.
Third, test fit seatbelt, make sure it clips in and secures you
Fourth, get beer and smile
Fifth, I'm not a professional so don't take my advice
Cost should be around 289.99 for the front seats only. Not sure if that's the final price because I have yet to buy a set. David told me to call 888-246-5653 and talk to a representative for more assistance with the seat covers. Hope this helps!
Do you know if they are willing to make a set and ship it out? I asked them a few months ago if they did. Told me I needed to bring my car in for measurements. To bad I live in Hawaii.
I used mothers cmx. For the price and convenience its pretty decent. Easy to apply and easy to come off. When I applied it to my wrx (that sat out in the elements for almost 2 years until I saved her) the color definitely popped out with one coating. Even got a few complements driving around...
You should wait it out like what others said. Give it a few months and you should get a way better deal.
And try to get a car quote from your local credit union. You can counter offer the dealer if its lower. Thats what happened to me and It was my first time buying a new car. 6.9% to 3.8% also...
I do the same... swing left leg out of car and grab door pillar/ steering wheel. Maybe put a towel on the area for the time being until you get it checked out to prevent further wear.
