06 Civic recall - Free boot lining

[Shimian]

Man, Hinge part can get from Highways honda which locate at springwood, Brisbane, it cost around $30. I believe u can find their info by honda website, hope it can help~

How come these guys have it and not the other Honda dealers? I would have thought the hinges came with the package. Anyways, ill let my dealer know about Highway Honda. Hopefully they can work something out.

may they source from difference area, but i believe hinge part will available everywhere within AUS, due to it is become standard for 07 model, so they need them in stock as supply

the hinge cover is available from any dealer, you just need to ask for it. it is not a part of the 894 campaign (boot lining fitment).

i believe the hinge cover is standard on new sport and hybrid, not too sure about vti and vti-l

its a full size steel wheel, not alloy. Better than the crappy one you get with ur jazz. It looks like a bicycle wheel

koolies I was right then. Because my gf remembers we got a actual spare mag wheel : ).

[Shimian]

Woohoo, finally can get those hinges. Here are the details for those who wants it done.
Part No: 74896-SNL000ZA (left hinge) $16
74895-SNL000ZA (right hinge) $16

Labor: $50 - 30min job according to Honda.

Total cost: $82 parts and labor.

Its worth the money to get them to do it if youre scared of stuffing up the drilling

i acknowledge the fact that it is definitely the best way if you aren't capable with power tools, but to think... $50 to drill 4 holes!?!? each hole takes about 10 seconds to pick up the drill and position it, 20 seconds to drill the hole, 10 seconds to put the drill back, 10 seconds to add touch up paint around the hole, 5 seconds to pick up a clip and push it in... that's 55-60 seconds per hole = 4 minutes per car. it is not a 30 minute job and no matter what you are most comfortable with, you are being severely ripped off.

then again if you don't have a drill in the first place and you'll never use a drill ever again in your life, it might be more cost-effective to have honda do it

[Shimian]

LoL, even though its a 5 min job, they are not gonna tell u its a 5 min job. They have to drive the car into the service area, grab the tools, setup the tools, have a coffee in between each hole etc. So theres the 30 min
$12.50 for each hole for me is ok. Since I dont own a drill or touchup paint, and im also paying for insurance cos if I stuff up, ill end up with more than 2 holes on each hinge but if they stuff up, they will have to replace the hinge. Ill be unscrewing it to check the workmanship :P

[chylld]

yeh i agree in your situation it totally makes sense to have honda do it when my turn comes around though i know what i'll be doing heheh

[Rice_4_life]

i've done it but it took lik 25*** mins >< but that's because the workshop drill broke :P not my fault boss!! and also the drill bits were all pretty blunt. And to my surprise the hinge area u drill is thicker than i 1st thought...

no need; check out collegehillshonda podcast #16.

also remember the $50/30 minutes we're talking about is just for the hinge covers; not the whole boot liner.

boot lining even more easier, u don't need drill any hole on it, just plug and play~
