Replaced door liner/weather strip on driver door |

Honda's paint quality for all early models pre-2008 are notorious for peeling and/or fading. I had to have an auto body shop strip the paint from the hood, bumper and driver side fender, and respray the entire from end. |

There was a screw loose in the steering wheel/airbag area that would rattle around during bumps and turning the wheel. I had to help the service department remove the screw. |

Car came from sunny Richmond VA. Must not have been garaged. Severe clear coat oxidation on roof, and small spots all over. Also yelowed headlight lenses (sanded/buffed out). Needed to be sanded to primer w new black and clear coats. |
