I have a 2008 Honda Civic LX with 375k that I have owned since it was new. This car is still running strong and it's because of the videos that you have posted here. You have helped me fix numerous fluid leaks, A/C and electrical problems. I followed the instructions on this video and it worked perfectly.
Danny, I just wanted to say thank you. Your help here has been so appreciated.
@@chadbrown488 I appreciate that Chad, thanks for your support
Danny! I have no words to thank you enough, you helped a lot with my civic 2008, I’ll keep watching your channel and sharing with my friends, once more thanks! From Australia.
appreciate friendly comments, thank you
I used a black half a inch hard foam tape for this, its been 2 years still holding strong.
This is fantastic! My family has THREE 07 Civics, and your channel covers practically all of the problems we've had that need fixing. Thank you!
Glad to help
oh man... where was this video when i needed it 2 weeks ago. could've saved me a bundle. thumbs up for it though in case i need it in the future.
My son's 2010 CIVIC has the exactly the same issue. I am ready to fix his window trim using your method. Thank you for sharing your time and expertise.
Glad to help, thank for your support
My Civic roof molding has been weathered for a while now from front all the way at the other end. Thanks for this video Danny that there's another option to tackle this issue without breaking a bank 😊
Good luck👍🏼
Thank you, this is one of the few parts for this car you can't buy aftermarket. I put backer rod in there temporarily, but this looks like a permanent solution
I did this a few months ago. I did it quick and dirty. It eventually fell out. I think I will try again following your steps. Thanks for another great video Danny.
Mine works good
I'm going to try this asap, apparently honda doesn't sell that part anymore so only place is ebay and cheapest it goes for is 225 no thanks. This resolves it. Thanks
My 2008 civic's molding was making scratching noise as it blew in the wind. I swear the mouse-like scratching noise was coming from inside of the car but NOPE! Thanks for providing us with a cost effective solution Danny!
Appreciate your support 👍🏼
I got door molding from home depot and the add some glue and looks perfect on my honda civic 2010
Very nice! Thanks for sharing
How does it stay in there, especially when it is windy? Do you have to use adhesive?
Is it holding well? Just seems like at highway speeds it might fly off.
Excellent idea tbough. 👍🏼👍🏼
It's good, perfect
Thanks for sharing I am the owner of a 2009 Honda Civic and I to have the same eye sore on my car. I will be trying this to fix my car 👍🏽
@@NettaP50 it’s a great cheep fix, I love it
Mine 09 civic has the same problem. thanks for sharing this! Could you do one on how to fix a noisy rear window? Mine is seeing to make noise on every trip and stuffing foam weather stripping hasn't lasted or worked too well.
I’ll see what I can do with that
What a deal. Ran across this and let's now fix a 2010 Honda Civic. Thanks
OMG!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you🙏🏻. Fixing up a neglected 2008 Civic down in southern Baja, Mexico. Whst an awsome solution to a widely existing problem. Love it ❤
Did mine today. Your video made it easier
I appreciate your comment, thanks for letting me know it helped
Muchísimas gracias, no he encontrado un autoadorno que sepan realizar el trabajo y gracias a ti podré realizarlo yo mismo.
❤
I replaced my roof moldings a few months ago. Still available at the dealer.
How much $ was it to replace, I would love to know and did the dealer do it or you?
@@dannysdiygarage no doubt he paid $150~ a side which is def not worth it
They were a little over $90/side after my body shop discount. (25% off list price). Replaced them myself, not that hard.
@@joshaden6533 thanks for the reply
Hi, I'm about to do this on my Honda and have a question: after several months, how did it work for you? Has the trim that you installed stayed in place? Do you think it would benefit from a blob of window silicone here and there to make sure it does not fly away while driving on the highway?
Thanks!
Put some video on resolving cowl top issues. Thanks
Sir Danny, have you done a diy demo to replace/fix the front windshield moulding under the front wipers?
You can use silicon gun to make it as glacier do at windows
make a video how to fix tpms light!🙌🏽
Thank you! My Honda civic just had this problem.
Glad it helped
Danny! Do you mind sharing a video or your two bits here in the comments? My AC compressor wouldn't turn on but is not seized. Also the condensation fans the two front fans by the grill won't turn on either. I'm wondering if it's all connected?
I have 2009 civic
Hello Mr. Danny, I would like to see your video about CAN high, CAN low, and K-Line probes for voltage and waveforms. Could you make it sometime? Everybody like you demonstration and clearly explanation. Thanks
Great suggestion!, I’ll see what I can think up
Good tip. Mine is the same age appx and it's falling apart. Junk cars only lasting 17 years on that molding. That's sarcasm.
Awesome video!
Aside from the cosmetic nuisance, is there any mechanical or safety issue with having that part of the car exposed?
Not at all
Then...does it technically qualify as patina? 😂
Thanks so much. I really enjoy your videos and enginuity
Thank you for sharing this clever fix Danny and happy new year !
Happy new year! Appreciate you watching
Mine fell out a few months ago. I need to fix it.
Time to redo it, mine is tucked in tight
Wish you would show the exact product to use. I went to Lowes and what i saw looked different.
@@KP1972 there’s an Amazon link in the description
Great video thank you. I was wondering, do you feel like the binding force would be enough in strong winds or did you put some sealant and or adhesive on there to keep it in place?
Yes, it’s in there pretty good, I feel it’s enough.
@@dannysdiygarage Thanks. I saw the prices on these currently $160 for both and that is ridiculous. Headed to big box today for garage door bottom door moulding. Wife doesn't like it missing ha Thank you.
@@sl5311How did it go? I’m attempting this soon after seeing the prices. Is it holding up on the road?
😭😭😭 I did this two weeks ago but with RTV silicone and some backer rod. I don't regret it but assuming if I need to remove mine one day im assuming it can be a nightmare this is way better.
as long as it looks good
happy new year and thanks for this , will certainly do this
Happy New Year Danny! Wait..so the oem roof molding dont come w/ the weather seal and in a separate piece? Or does it?
Correct it’s the whole 10ft piece, I believe they were pretty expensive, much more than I was willing to pay anyway
What usually goes right there?
Is this a cosmetic issue or can water get in if this trim has deteriorated?
@@Jonathan_Destang cosmetic issue, it was never a water tight seal
Hi Mr. hope you're having a really good day, i enjoy so much your videos, i have the same car but the coupe version 2010 (and almost the same issues hehe). I do have a question, how many ft of rubber do you think you use? i dont know if i should buy de 9ft or 16 ft
I added a amazon link in the description of the part needed
Great job! I learned a lot. But you should give credit to the guy who made the original video on this.
Send me who made a video, I’d be happy to give a shoutout 👍🏼
@@dannysdiygarage ruclips.net/video/2D0V6KZXsn0/видео.html
John Ubante x UbeyMade
Just bought the 9ft one from your link and it’s not the same one you use in the video. It’s a much harder rubber that doesn’t work.
I just checked the part number, it should be the exact same thing, send me a picture of it, send to dannysdiygarage@gmail.com
2008 thank you I will have to try this ❤
You’re welcome 👍🏼
Thank you for this video!
Does this cut down the road noise any?
Not a noticeable difference if any
awesome video, thank you
Glad you liked it! Appreciate
do they sale the original piece for civic 2011!
Yes, dealer only and approx $150 per side, its the best option if you have money to blow, I'm pretty happy with this fix, you can't tell its a hack fix, looks actually factory, a fellow RUclips suggested this to me a while back.
Why did you remove the link? I need to try this!
I’ll get it back asap
Can I either a) Send my car to you - OR - b) fly you up here to do this for me? 🤣
I cut the molding at the roofline, cut the nipples along the windshield and painted… looks mint
yes, I'm very happy with mine
Thank you!!
You're welcome!
Well
Nice video, I will bite the bullet and buy the original hardware at the dealer since online they charge to much because boxes are to big.
I would have liked to buy the factory correct moldings, I just couldn’t bring myself to fork out the money, but that was the video I originally wanted to make ❤
Actually online is almost half price still original parts 👍
@@Antonio-herndez but shipping is $300
I wish you would cut it for me and ship it to me 😊
I duck taped mine. I used waterproof tape and it's holding for now.
That can’t look good, does it?
They really need to start using silicon since the weather is getting hotter every year.
Agree, they need to use better material
Getting hotter where?
California,Texas, Nevada, Arizona to be exact
Youre the man
Appreciate you buddy
