Consumer Description

HEADLINER HAD TO BE REPLACED ON MY 2008 ACCORD LX BECAUSE RAW EDGES WERE SHOWING AT WEATHER STRIPPING ON ALL DOORS. ORIGINAL DEALER HAD CAR ALL DAY FOR REPAIR. THREE DAYS LATER, THE DRIVER SIDE SUN VISOR FELL ON MY HEAD WHILE DRIVING ON THE PARKWAY AT HIGH SPEED (KNOCKED OFF MY GLASSES). THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT SINCE I SWERVED AFTER VISOR HIT ME. WENT TO DIFFERENT DEALER FOR REPAIR AND IT TOOK TWO TRIES BEFORE THEY ATTACHED VISOR PROPERLY. THEY ADMITTED THAT 2008 ACCORDS NOW USE PLASTIC LATCH INSTEAD OF 2 SCREWS (CIVICS STILL USE SCREWS), SO IT BREAKS EASILY. HONDA SHOULD ACKNOWLEDGE AND CHANGE BACK TO THE METAL SCREWS. THE PLEASANT ATTITUDE THAT HONDA IS FAMOUS FOR IS MISSING. *TR
