Take measures against rain leaks in advance. Civic EK9 leaks often come in through cracks in the roof seams. First, remove the roof molding. The rear side can be easily removed by sliding it to the front of the car body. Even so, it’s dirty. When I remove the dirt, there are still slight cracks. The roof of this car has been replaced once, but it still cracks in a few years. Apply a metamorphic silicone caulking. It’s a part hidden by the roof molding, so it’s suitable.

It is a photograph of the rear shock absorber. I tried cleaning the damper part, thinking that the damper was not moving well and there was a sound that would get caught in the seal when it was activated. For cleaning, jack up (you don’t have to remove […]
