During the first 59 days of ownership of my Civic Touring, I noticed that the roof would rumble during the dryer section of my local carwash (A total of 3 car washes). The first time it freaked me out. Although I have never had a car roof sound that way in a carwash, I really didn't think much of it, thinking this was just the way this car was built. Then over the weekend I noticed a small rise in the roofline right where the back center of the sunroof meets the roof. It almost looked like the sunroof wasn't all the way back in place.
Today I took the car in for the TSB for Surge issue and also had them look at the sunroof and roof. They stated that the roof is not right and it sounds like it was not adhered properly to the roof frame structure. They have requested to keep the car another day and have their body shop evaluate it for what would be required to repair it and then call in Honda USA for their input and warranty approval, etc.
Yikes! So how could this be repaired short of cutting off the roof and reattaching it? If this is the extent of the repair, do I really want to keep this car? I guess it's not technically a lemon (at this point) but what are my options? If pushed would this be a significant enough issue / repair that Honda would take this vehicle back for another Civic?
