I purchased my Honda Civic IMA hybrid 2 years ago, for a large sum of money. It has developed a fault with the IMA battery and will cost $2129 to purchase (and fit) a new IMA battery from Honda. Honda has received reports (from various car magazines) that they are very reliable cars and that is the main reason I purchased a Honda.
The IMA battery draining is a known problem with Honda hybrid cars and I am surprised this has not been resolved before the cars were sold. I cannot pay for another battery and Honda will not help, as it is past the 8 year warranty for IMA battery issues??
Should i go to the small claims court. What other options are available to me?
I bought a set of Team Heko Wind Deflectors

and am having a nightmare fitting them
iv tried putting the clips on the window and shutting the window which should push them right up, but when i do that part of the clip can still be seen from outside the car and the deflectors arent tight into the clips?
then i tried fitting "dry" without clips or tape and the window doesnt shut properly
it seems to "catch " on something about half way up and then when i close it it doesnt close fully, there are gaps at the curved part nearest the window and a cap at the top of the straight edge nearest the door handle? (if yous get my description)
these are 2nd hand and came off a 3 door 1.7CDTi civic but they should still fit i'd think?
any help would be great!
