I hear ya. At a certain point you're just subconsciously keeping an eye out for noises and just kills the magic. Some trim can settle over time though so you never know

That piece was my problem too There was a warped clip on mine that was buzzing around since it couldn't fully clip in. Glad you got yours settled. You totally had it much worse than mine was lol

I was surprised when they only did the upper frame for mine a month ago. I never thought the upper frame was the issue to begin with. What they told me was upper frame first was just the warranty protocol...Then lower if it wasnt fixed. It'll be interesting to see exactly what the recall says...

Spoken with several other owners on here or Reddit and the only permanent fix seems to be total frame replacement. One guy had his reinforced somehow and the issue came back. Couple others the connection points greased up, but were only temporary fixes. In my personal journey with this, I've...

To those with squeaky seat frames.... Honda is likely going to be issuing a recall. I had my car in this past weekend to replace the lower frame, and they had to stop after receiving word that they have to send the part back. Sounds like Honda will be sending a recall letter to all Type R owners...

Rapidly becoming the plan. Even for big loss it might be worth it to be done with the headache and weekends sitting at the dealership

Same here. The build quality is absolute shit. Years of saving for a nightmare essentially

Every get the glove box sorted out? Mine just started rattling like crazy out of the blue today

Ah good point. Coming from a vehicle with full size spare it's never been something i've thought about

Anyone know of a good spare tire kit for r the FL5? will one for the standard hatchback work or would it not be able to clear the front calipers

Sounds exactly like what i've done with my jeep lol. So much felt tape over the years as the plastics got brittle. Have a few more weeks to wait for my frame. Just going to ask for them to excessively grease it up and see if it's possible to add some kind of bracket/plate to stiffen the points...

How dare you come in here with your doom and gloom lol. I agree though, some issues arent worth chasing (some vibration i even like, makes things feel a little more raw), but others are simply unlivable. Honda can keep taking my seat apart and replacing until it's fixed or replace the seat entirely.

Hang in there man. Long road but we'll get our cars fixed...eventually lol. I talked to the guy who had his seat reinforced somehow and unfortunately he didn't ask exactly what they did to it. Was only a few days ago so it may not be a long term fix anyways

Same. It fucking really sucks.

Oh it's maddening lol. If you're referring to my hip shaking video it's just the tip of the iceberg. When driving its much worse

Hate to hear that. Spoke with another owner and they somehow beefed up the frame along with the replacement. Trying to get more details on what they did to it

glad that sorted your issue out! My fear is that the passenger seat is going to the dreaded squeak, although that'd be far less annoying and less of an urgency to correct.

Just an update. Had the car at the shop this morning. They've order a new inner frame. Seems like that's the common solution for all of our squeaky seats

Just got out of my appointment at the dealership. Same conclusion. New seat frame has been ordered. That's at least helped my peace of mind knowing a fix is in the works

Fingers crossed it doesnt take too long to get the replacement part.
