Exterior Lighting · Visibility/Wiper
Third brake light cover will not stay up. This causes a visibility issue when driving at night or in rain, as the reflection from the red light covers the entire back window and reflects in the side mirrors. You cannot see. It does not matter if the temp is hot or not. Leased in ohio end of june and was like that then, as were all coupes on lot. Dealer said they could glue in ohio. Called another dealer he said not…

The 3rd brake light that's on the inside of the rear window (i have the coupe) has a cover which keeps the light directed outside of the car and attaches to the window. The glue holding it to the window isn't strong enough, so the cover hangs down, blocking some of the rear window, reducing visibility. Also, at night the light itself washes out the rear window, making it difficult to see out the back at all. This…

The cover for the reverse light, rear window, of the 2016 civic has dropped and after repeated attempts trying to get american honda to correct, still has not been fixed. The cover can't be removed as the reverse light is too bright and makes it impossible to see out the rear window at night. During the day, the cover obscures objects/cars in the rear view window.

Visibility/Wiper
The rear third brake light has come undone, it bounces around and obstructs the rear view. It's hard to explain how such a small part could block the view unless you encounter this for yourself. This is especially bad on the highway at a slight down grade where it can obstruct the entire highway behind you. Once again, hard to explain unless you live in a hilly area and experience this. During the night the rear…
