Consumer Description

THE RUBBER GASKET AROUND MY MOONROOF IS ROTTING AWAY. THE CAR WAS PURCHASED IN AUGUST 2003 AND I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER. DUE TO HIGH MILEAGE, I AM OUT OF THE ORIGINAL WARRANTY. I WAS TOLD BY THE HONDA DEALER IN COVINGTON, LOUISIANA THAT THE GASKET CANNOT BE PURCHASED SEPARATELY, THUS I WILL HAVE TO BUY AN ENTIRE SUNROOF ASSEMBLY TO CURE THE DEFECT. THIS WILL COST IN EXCESS OF $500. THE GASKET HAS NEVER BEEN DAMAGED AND THE ROT APPEARS TO BE FROM NORMAL WEATHER CONDITIONS. THE PROBLEM WAS FIRST NOTICED ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO, I.E., A LITTLE OVER TWO YEARS AFTER THE CAR WAS PURCHASED NEW. *JB
