hahaha the civic 06 is gonna be slower now with the additional weight heeheh..

Yep :) Just took my babe back, her boot looks so much better now hehehe ~Quote:

ooo, I've asked them about the front windscreen image distortion when you move your head around, especially up and down, that occurs on all civics aswell, they said I could have the whole screen replaced if I want to, but since all civics both of us (Honda mechanics) examed has the same issue, it is very likely the replacement would have the same problem too, he suggest tell everyone else I know who owns a Civic and tell them to call their dealer regarding to this issue, they'll report to Honda, and hopefully, Honda will fix it and we all can swap a perfect new windscreen under warranty.
Currently, when you open your civic's boot, you'll see wires all over the place on the boot lid. Now you can claim a free boot liner( a big black pannel cover) to hide those wires and make it look better. It's free under warranty, I just got mine back, so sexy now :)Quote:

Great news, thx, buddy, Hope i can get my free boot line asap
i called the dealer. he told me only vti-L + can get it.
but told me to call victoria customer service n complain. n they might do soemthing about it.
is this BS?
WTF, how can they do this, i will ask my dealer tomorrow as well, see how's going, i am own a vti as well
keep us updated. I got my civic from NorthSide Honda and they have yet to confirm on anything regarding the boot lining.Quote:

Im getting mine done sometime next week. Eastern Honda in Doncaster Victoria knows about it. Just quote you want to get a boot lining done. I was told it was Sport model only. I was planning on getting that section of the boot lined with carpet for my new sub. Saving myself some $$ and time thanks to Honda :p
Dont want one, just adds weight. 1kg or 2kg, its still weight.
I can always remove it if I find the 1kg/2kg is slowing my car down :D
Mine's VTI-L , on my service summary, it only say "CIVIC BOOTLINER RECALL", no where mentioned about which model. :/Quote:

I just called my dealer today, they said there's no such recall for any civic 06 model.
how can i get this?
really? I just plan to call them, oh, how can QLD guy get this item~
i called up just then and they said that it was primarily for the earlier 2006 model civics. apperntly people who fall into this bracket will or shoudl have got a letter from honda australia which they were to take into the dealership and order the parts from.
neways my car falls out of that bracket so anyone with a build date of post september 2006 (as far as i know cause thats my build date) you dont need it because we already have it lol
my car's build date same as ur car, why we can't take it as earier civic does
But I know of a newer civic without the boot lining and with exposed wires.
does boot lining = the cover on the TOP? "lid"
hmm i dunno my honda dealer said that we were "revised" with boot liner hmm maybe he didnt know what he was talking about pfft
I think its only for the inside part of the boot. That is where the cables are hanging. If the dealers that some of you guys go to dont know anything about it, ask them to call up Eastern Honda Doncaster in Victoria 03 98561333. These guys know whats going on. Ive just booked mine in to get it sorted out.
Images added :) Check 1st post
thx for ur pic, u got purple one?:P
yeah thanks for the pics.
hmm well i definately dont have that on my boot, i dont think the guy i was talking to knew what he was talking about
hehe, no prob :) Mine's Silver Moss :P
Thanks for the pic. Nope, the late 06 Sport doesn't have that.
Its on the boot lip? I was told it was on the inside top part of the boot? Thats where most of the cables are. So theres no lining there?
the part u mention is other part, they seperate. but u can buy them from SG
dyljoy, what should we do with ours? maybe just wait for the letter then.
anyway i called parts today, they're selling it for $73
i'll just wait if we can get it for free. :D
I'm also waiting for them to tell me it's free.. shall call Hornsby Honda if I remember.
ya, same here, free will be acceptable, btw, will u do the car wash tomorrow night? can u bring the spacers as well, hoho, coz i will install the audio next mon, cheers~
You can buy the inside top part boot lining from SG? Where/What is SG? :confused:Quote:

do u still want my amp?
bro, SG = singaport, but this is item out of stock there, should wait they in stock again,hoho
ya, i want it, but still do the saving for it... ar.....
how long for saving? coz i might need to buy my new amp
any vti from melbourne done this? interested to know.. LOL
I was told its VTI-L and Sport models only. Maybe you can ask if they will sell one to you. Btw, I went to the Singapore Honda site and they only sell the lining for the boot lip, not the lining for the top of the boot (inside). I assume Singaport means the Singapore Honda? Correct me if im wrong. :confused:
what was the total invoice cost? $200 for labour is too high for a 10k service :confused:Quote:

+rep ;)
I think small chances for the vti then.. :P
I've called my dealer today.. they told me boot liner only applies to the new release cars.. oh well.. anyhow.. if any vti owner made it for free.. please let me know here.. hehe..
same here, hoho, Aco3n, may try to do the kit fitting job today, hope it won't take too much long time to make it
yeah as stated it's sport and vti-l only fellas
panda: thanks for finding that out, it's immensely useful. pity it doesn't cover vti though!Quote:

if you quote ur rego when you call, they will know if you can get it or not on their system
no worries, glad to help. it's just a pity nobody gives out rep posts lol;)Quote:

unless it is a dealer you have been to for servicing the rego won't mean anything, they'll need your vin details (found in LHF door frame, rego sticker and in engine bay)Quote:

+ 1 for panda.. :P .. just learn how to do it
yay for me :p
Frig Robert Lane HAHA.
I work in service at Patterson Cheney. You'd be amazed how many are coming in for 1000k service at present.
Sweet.. freebies. Need to contact Honda still.
Btw as a site to check out.. look at www.sgcarstyling.com I've ordered from them before (PM me for more info....), and whilst I'm not saying to buy or not to buy from them, they do represent some of the aftermarket/3rd party parts I saw available in Malaysia/Singapore.
Just had my boot lining installed over the weekend. The dealer advised that owners should wait till they get a letter from Honda advising of the recall as the intention is to control the influx of owners heading in to have it done.
In anycase i had mine done without having received a letter.
Curious though the recall does not include the hinge covers and is strictly the boot lining. The hinge covers are an additional cost of about $30.
hmmm seems like honda's really trying to minimise the effort required to effect this trunk liner recall. the trunk liner itself is attached simply by using about 8 clips, however to attach the hinge covers, 2 holes need to be drilled in the hinges themselves to accommodate the clips for those pieces (see collegehillshonda.com podcast #16)Quote:

I just got mine done this morning. Yes, it does look sexy. Where can you get the hinge covers for an additional cost of $30? I asked my dealer and they said you cant get it.Quote:

damn, im from Melbourne. Oh well, i guess ill have to live without it
i've got mine, incl boot hinge,
i have to spend $100 for those.
- boot lining itself
- 8 clips
- boot hinges
how do the boot hinges attach? the boot lining attaches with 8 clips (4x xmas tree clips + 4x screw clips) and the hinges i thought should attach with 2 xmas tree clips each... i.e. total of 12 clipsQuote:

trouble is, they probably wont install it for free. Or maybe. I wouldnt do that part myself as it requires drilling and im scared incase i slip :eek:
boot lining attached with 6 clips, and for the hinges you need to drill 2 holes if i'm not wrong. they also using clips.Quote:

xiaohung: are you sure the boot lining attaches with only 6 clips? my boot lid has 8 clip holes...
chyll: Im very uncoordinated when it comes to drilling metal. Ill just wait until the Melbourne dealer gets them in and ill just pay them. If I do it, ill probably end up with half a hinge from drilling all over the place. Maybe instead of drilling, ill just superglue the thing :confused:
yep, confirmed i just installed mine yesterday.Quote:

Got mine today, just done the boot line one, no idea for the hinge, coz they seems need two drill for each side, and the down side position is hard to do it, waiting for other comment for this~
here's a podcast showing it being done by a service centre in america:
http://www.collegehillshonda.com/art...icle_484.shtml
the underside holes are a little awkward to get to yes, but i wouldn't trust someone to work on my car in the first place if they couldn't figure out how to do something so relatively simple...
so do i, but throw it to dealer with cost too much, may see someone hints first
Link on that site doesnt work?Quote:

sorry to post this here but we look at all of the threads anyhow right?
funny stuff with new cars........you look at everything.
Cheers.
awesome ride bro,, wanna trade wit mine? xP
Not many cars get an extra wheel. Didnt the 06 civic come with a full sized wheel? My sport did, dunno about the other models. Regarding the extra hole. Thats where my switches live in the 06 model, my accent lighting switch + 2 spares.
Btw, does anyone know any Melbourne dealers that supply the hinge part? Eastern Honda (Doncaster) doesnt know anything about it. They claim all that was in the packaging were the bolts/screws and the main piece, no hinge covers. Alternatively, any interstate Honda dealers that supply this so i can let Eastern Honda know where to get one from
