Main reason it that it seemingly rains all the time here but also the local authorities spray the roads with salt/grit during winter to help stop the roads freezing. This stuff is really bad for cars.

I think they're different coloured clips, blue, yellow, red etc. You need to put a small, wide flat screw driver or spatula in the 2 rectangle holes on the retaining clip that is fixed to the car. I found a PDF on one of the forums about the FN2 roof rack, which details how to remove them. Might be worth a google for that PDF. Basically it's a pain in the neck. I think the drivers carpet removal needs the acc pedal taking out first, I just lifted it up as much as possible and stripped the padding out, dried it then put it back. Good luck with it Steve 👍

@@GeesDrive Thanks bud, will unclip the carpet to dry it out as much as I can and if the leak continues I'll maybe get a garage to take the rail off at the windscreen so I can seal all the way down it without destroying every clip there lol.

I have since I did this repair but not enough to affect the top rubber. Just enough to seal the small leak where the windshield adhesive had started to perish.

Deep Bronze is beautiful, especially in the sun. Someone fully spec'd yours out. Is the bass pack any good?

@@GeesDrive yeah speakers are really decent ! Sound system is amazing !

@@25bchris That would be a great retrofit, down another rabbit-hole I go investigating that 😅

@@GeesDrive haha you're very welcome !

I had a twin pipe upswept DTM on my MK2, would love another MK2 now :)

It's a dremel tool with the cable extension on and the ire-brush attachment. Gets in all the nooks and crannies.

Not had that one yet thankfully 🤞

Cheers bud! Next up is replace the centre exhaust section, service, then clutch replacement in the summer ready for the good weather 😎 👌

@@GeesDrive cool looking forward to the vids 👍

I just used the moto grease on the more vulnerable areas like bolt heads. The rest just got a spray over. The grease is basically more heavy duty protection 👍

Oh no, typical! Glad you got it early mate 👍

I've seen another video from "Cowabunga Car Diaries" I think where they had the leak coming from the boot hatch. Might be worth searching their channel as I can't recall the fix. Good luck mate 👍

@@GeesDrive I've actually silicone the part where I thought it was coming in on the spoiler and we have had plenty of heavy Rain but no water coming in great news 👍

Nice one, good news mate 👍

Always loved the Civic Tourer, especially when it was in the BTCC setup.

The sound increase is minimal to be honest so I put the original back in 👍

Kapiram da K&N filter donekle slabije filtrira od običnog filtera, ali je l' toliko veliki rizik baš? Mislim vidim da ljudi često stavljaju svakakve aftermarket filtere, tipa Tegiwa, HKS, itd...

@@ned-yt Nije rizik na kraće staze ali na duže se taj filter suši i fina prašina prolazi koja na kraju deluje na zidove cilindra kao abrazivno sredstvo i onda kreću problemi. Za stazu je ok da motor može da diše bolje ali za svakodnevnicu ja ne bih stavljao. Ima nekih koji kažu da nisu imali problema, ali verovatno su menjali ulje na svakih 3000km.

@@The_Touring_Jedi Hvala na informaciji! :)

Awesome! Glad it helped 🙂

Yeah it's only held in with those 4 bolts, although I snapped one putting it back in so watch out.

The other 3 bolts are enough to keep it in place thankfully but it triggers me knowing it's there 😅

Thanks for highlighting the error. The new report was from 2018. I've added a correction 👍

I figured it was just a typo or something. Haha. Thanks for the correction.

It was a BMW x6 e71 not an x5

I did another video on the previous fix to find where it was coming in the rear: ua-cam.com/video/aVvwqJ85ArU/v-deo.html&ab_channel=GEE%27SDrive Good luck mate 👍

Worth just lifting the roof trim and checking the rail seam welds. Might be worth checking window seals too? Good luck with it 👍

Good luck with it. It's not too much of a challenge if you have a full day with decent weather 👍☀

Totally agree with you, it's freezing in the winter 😂

Thanks @SiCrewe that's good to know. Was that a UK car is elsewhere? I know it's well documented that the Honda paint on the FN2 is thin and suffers laquer peel etc. I suspect on my car in particular, it's had a few panels resprayed and not due to accident damage. Thanks for the insight 🙂

Yes so far so good 👍 However the seal went bad around the windscreen since this video. I did an update video on that too.

Mine is the type s from 2007. I struggling to take plastic bits off boot to lift carpet and dry it out. Put seats back though and got duct tape emergency temporary measure over the seal

Thanks so much for your video btw, a great help

Thank you! It doesn't help when it's constantly raining. Hope you get it sorted 👍

I did another video fixing all the other leaks on mine (I had it in the boot too). Link is in the description to that video. It was basically the seam welds on the roof.

Could be an issue with the module in the rear then maybe?

@@GeesDrive I sorted it out, everything seems to be fine there. may be due to the fact that some sensors did not install original..

Thanks bud, good to hear there are some good FN2s out there still 👍It was a genuine Skunk2 and having used both for some time, I like both but prefer the original one looks-wise.

@@GeesDrive Yeah spent ages trying to hunt down the right one. Am going modified but am such a JDM junkie it’s Spoon Sports for me not European rubbish 🤣 keep up the good work. 👍

I've not had any obvious issues with the heat-shield although they're in pretty ropey condition on mine. Perhaps that's what they mean.

@GeesDrive cheers. I'd like to put a cat back stainless system on mine in the future but think I'll replace the heat shields first then. Great to see a fellow FN2 enthusiast channel. 👍

Just standard seam sealer, then normal Granville black car sealant. There's a link to that in my latest water leak video mate 👍

Awesome! Good to hear another one getting some decent treatment. Enjoy 👌👍

Cheers mate, appreciate it. I've got to say Bronze is my absolute fav FN2 colour. Hard to find good ones out there in bronze.

@@GeesDrive it never was a common colour, for some reason. I’ve recently refreshed the suspension on mine, but needs a body work refresh now. Mine has seen heavy daily use, but has stood up well

@@TregTube My old man bought one new back in the day (black) and I vaguely recall the dealer in Chesterfield had the bronze pearl in stock at the time. I'm a big fan of the silver and later blue too. I think they prefer a bit of daily usage, good to hear it's getting a refresh too 👍

@@GeesDrive yes I like the silver and blue ones too! I kind of want one of each colour 😂 Funny how you remember stuff from when they were new because your old man had one. I worked for a Honda dealer when they came out, and I never thought I’d be buying one so cheap only a few years later

Interesting you worked at Honda. I worked at BMW Alpina back in the day and always wanted an E39 B10. Prices are going the wrong way now 😒 Hopefully the FN2's will go the same way.

I tried that first. It's my go-to usually, but the gaps were too big. Added the captain after the sealant for good measure 👌

That what I used on mine athlough the cracks were not as big as these. It was only leaking on the passenger side but I did both just to be safe plus I was off work at hte time during lockdown so had plenty of time on my hands. A good few years later now and all is still good. 👍

Sounds like a rough one, to be fair there are some bad ones out there. I've had my fill of leak repairs thanks 😅 Good luck with it 👍

I think the fn2 was the last uk built type R? Still £ for n/a HP it’s the best bargain type r - the EP3’s are literally rusting to pieces :(

@@dtrain1634 you're not wrong, the good EP3's are mega $$$ now

Really impressive stuff, still doing the job 3 months in keeping most of the salt and grime out.

Thanks mate, really appreciate it 😀👍 I've got an update on this in the next few weeks.

Probably to get you into the dealership. Really annoying.

Cheers bud, much appreciated 👍

@GeesDrive I had a ep3 for 3 years and a fn2 for 6 years so its great to see your videos and somebody looking after their car 👍🏻

@@mrlionrocks I had an EP2 back in the day and loved it, never had an EP3 though. I think these are an end of an era so well worth saving 👍

Had to be done 😂🦖
