EG

CV Joint Boot breaks (outer drivers side)
D Series Dizzy problems

Also the window and windscreen rubbers seem to shrink over time more than other models due to soft rubber used.

FD = 'new' civic

it's a common issue. they made a revised window glass to rectify the problem but that didnt really work... now they have released/will release a modified bailey seal to rectify the problem

it's very very common with the 06 civics
