Re: 2006 Civic Faulty Radios
 

I had my front windshield replaced (stress crack from the cold) in my
civic by honda and have never had a problem with leaks or anything.

I know what you mean, but it seems so drastic, I find it hard to
believe it will solve the problem.
I have had exterior warranty repairs in the past that have caused more
problems than the first one, (shhh... it was a new "Saturn" sedan mind
you) so I am a little gun shy about the window approach.
Thanks. K.

I have a simlar problem with my 2006 Civic, but it only affects the AM
reception. FM is fine.

Here's what you should ask them to do: order the new window but before
taking out the old one, have them connect the antenna wire to the new
window and see if that improves the reception. If not, tell them not to
put it in and to continue looking for the real problem. At least that
way you don't have them taking the old one out for no reason. I agree
with you. I wouldn't want them doing such a "repair" unless I knew it
was going to fix the problem. When the dealers mess with a car, it
increases the chance of something wrong, i.e. they screw something up.

Good idea but he says dealer cannot duplicate poor reception so it might not
work.

I'm surpised then that they would even offer to replace the window.
Usually they're pretty stuborn about having to "verify" the customer's
complaint before swapping parts.
