hi i've heard and saw the problem of 04+ ap2s

when its wet.. between the tailights and rear bumper

has water leaking in between.

have it been a recall from honda? or doesn 06 comes without that problem?

 

There was a recall on my 2000. Got it fixed w/ no problem @ Honda. Unfortunately, Honda doesn't advertise these recalls at all, so you have to do some digging.

 

What exactly is this problem? Water leaking into the taillights? I dont get it.

Remember when you wash your car, if you open, then close the trunk, water shoots out from under the taillights. It's a design flaw I guess.

The water channel runs from the trunk seal, down to between the taillights/bumpers/fenders. None of this gets into the trunk area or passenger compartment, so you really don't have anything to worry about.

 

Yeah, my bad. Mine was for water actually getting inside of the light housing. You got nothing to worry about.

 

hmm i dun think u got what im sayin..

well .. water is not really goin into the seal... thats the tail light itself problem

if it does that.. but i mean

like.. i dunno if u can really tell from the picture but

the space before the sealing under the light has water but it doesnt go INTO the light

i got my light off the car but if its installed~ its even worse

 

The infamous bumper gap. Quite common on the 04+.

 

was there recall for this?

and once there is recall.. is there like a due date i must take my car to the dealer?

or is it ok if i bring it months later?

 

There is no recall, but I've seen quite a few AP2s with horrendous gaps on the rear bumper. Chime in you guys, I know you're there. Luckily with both of my AP2s, neither of them had this problem.

 

no biggie

just get some AIR GUN ACTION on that junk WAM BAM gone!

 

Air gun FTW! Or use your mouth and air gun it to death!

 

My AP2 doesn't have this problem. But then again, I've only had it for 2 weeks...I'll keep an eye on the taillights next time I wash it.

 

yeah cuz i went to a dealership and saw a brannndd new 05 s2k..

it was in the show room but the water was still there..

 

Washed my AP2 this weekend and definitely got water in the taillights. Not a lot of water, mind you, but just enough for me to notice.

Rear fender gaps

 

I've seen it on AP1's as well. It seems the gap is bigger on the AP2's though. Water gets inbetween the tail light and rear bumper. Only way to get it out is to blow it out or squeeze a paper towel in there. Otherwise, just let it dry.

 

Air compressor gun FTMFW!!!
