Civic 2006 Boot Under Lid protector

[oniononline]

Ahh damn..i ordered mine from the dealer recently, and when i finally got them to fix it..the holes did not match.

...so i went back, i told them..those holes dont match (plastic protector and the boot hinges)..he said i didnt specify the make year of my car(2006 vti) when i ordered mine (apparently its only fitting for 2007 models)...so i guess my fault and im stuck with the hinges and the screws. but im confuse..why is it different? someone shed some light

They apparently are different ..the 2006 and the 2007..according to the parts manager.

If I'm you, I would go back and tell them that as a customer, I have no idea if there is any difference or not, but you as a dealer, you should know the difference and you must tell the customer and ask which year they want due to different specs. Unless you asked for 2007. If they still refuse to exchange, don't bother talking to them and file a case with consumer affair straight away,just say the product does not suit for its purpose, you have the right to exchange if the product is undamaged, then both consumer affair and your dealer will call you about the exchange/refund. : ) Good luck.

The hinge protector are the same for all models. They just put it against the hinge and drill a hole for the screws.

man....why cudnt they just say so...now if briing it back and say to them, that they've got to drill it and bla bla..im gonna look like an idiot to them..caz its obvious they have got no clue on wats this whole business is all about.

Being in perth, i reckon not many has done this before unlike u guys over in the east. hence less awareness!

Scott's Honda Artarmon had to drill my hinges to get the hinge covers on, however they didn't charge me for it. then again, they didn't clean up the drill shavings from my boot either...

perhaps try another dealer, they might be more receptive if you tell them you're dissatisfied with your original dealer?

You got the hinges for free too? Maybe its free now. But when they first announced it, boot cover was free but not the hinges
