UPDATE: FINALLY, FINALLY, FINALLY got my car back today after 4 weeks.
Several issues were noted that all of you should know about. Fortunately, the service advisor took pictures and showed them to me. Even as a female who knows next to nothing about the mechanical aspects of a car, I could plainly recognize the shoddy work.
The windshield was NOT installed correctly on the assembly line. The machine that places the windshield into the opening set it up too high. At some point, there seems to have been an attempt to lower it into its proper position but evidentally it was not. Also, there was a glob of sealant left behind that caused issues. There were several places along the opening where it was evident that the windshield was not installed correctly.
In and earlier post, I mentioned that there were two other people (in Oregon and Texas) who were also waiting on the backordered headliners but it was unknown at the time if the other people had a water leak or a different issue. Turns out, they ALSO had water leaks very similar to mine so it seems as if they also had misaligned windshields.
The service tech that an incident report was sent to Honda so that if more HR-V owners have this issue that there will be a "service" recall.
Glad this ordeal is over....hopefully....
