Did anyone experience something like this?

I had an FK7 for the past 3 years with no problems whatsoever, yesterday after a very hot day, I had water droplets in my left headlight....

To make things even more annoying, while cleaning my car, I've realized my honda center caps were cracked on the honda logo (3 out of 4)

Go back to the dealer for warranty replacement.
My R has none of that.

get the headlights warrantied.

as for center caps, you might be able to get them warrantied or they might said its road damage and its not covered.

They're already covered in XPEL like the rest of the car... I hope they'll cover the cost to redo them.

The center caps are cracked in a weird way... and 3 out of 4 have the exact same cracks in them...

From the pics. it seems like they messed up on the application of the headlight protection. Trust me I know how bad they look when someone applies them wrong and your pictures looks like that.

Trust me, it's from the inside... The XPEL on the car is perfect... The car was done by Protex Canada which is top 10 best installers in America for XPEL. The headlight itself is the problem and will be replaced next week.

Is it possible the worst thief of all time tried to steal the caps and messed them up?
LOL funny thing, only the badge is delaminating itself... the black round part of the cap is perfect.

The center caps are like that. I have 2 sets of these for 2 cars and they eventually do this. It’s pretty horrible paying $80 for them and getting this. The 2 sets were brought roughly 6 months apart from 2 different Honda dealerships online.

They ordered new ones under warranty but from what you're telling me, It won't be the last time.

A 2020 car should not be doing that. Whip out that warranty
