Honda vti s luxe, which im about to buy, has a rubber/ flap from underneath the bonet that when bonnet is closed, a small piece is sticking out of the bonnet side, so is visible when bonnet is closed. Is this normal for 2018 honda civics?

I can't seem to upload the video the dealer sent. All i can find is a photo. Hard to see, but where the left head light is, the far corner if you look up, a small rubber is sticking out, which happens to be part of the rubber flap that the bonnet closes onto.

Thanks, that's helpful. Definitely shouldn't be any rubber sticking out of that gap. At most it should be pretty level with the body panels. I'd look under the hood and see if a trim push clip is missing or something that is allowing it to stick out.

The dealer needs to fix it.There are clips that hold it in place.

Bought the cartoday. Turns out one of the soft rubber piece was longer on the other end. All i need to do is cut off the corner with some sharp scissors.
