Hi all
I have a MY12 CU2 lux navi and have noticed small pannel distortion around the sun roof apature, its only feb 12 build and only 13k on the clock, totaly stock and I drive like an old fart so I am worried it may be torsional flexing in the roof. any one experienced a simmilar issue and what sort of response have you had from Honda?

Chuck us a picture mate
Call your dealer where you bought your car as it is still under warranty

What month is your build??

Why do I have a feeling we just got a bad batch of euros delivered?

That looks like whatever robot was doing the sun roof wasn't calibarated properly...
.... Or Honda started to install sunroofs with hammers.

Take it to Honda.

All Euros are built in Japan,but China gets a locally built model,called the Honda Spirior

TW586: obviously the QC missed out on this "dent". But if it is not leaking, I suggest to just leave it.

This involves removal of roof panels & sunroof inside, and some bodypanel knocking. If not done correctly can lead to other problems instead etc. & more gripes.

The distortion has only occoured in the last 6 weeks and it increases when the body is flexed, ie jacking up one front wheel, and reduces when put back on the ground, this leads me to think is a structural issue, i have also noticed a few high k cu2 euro in the car park with same type of distortion.also there is no leaking and the sun roof operates as new
