2017 Honda Civics

WARNING!! I don't know how many of you are shrinking the door glass on the car?? :stop     But, be very very careful if you do. :nono 

 

The outer bottom rubber on the new 2017 Civics is VERY VERY FRAGILE!!  It will melt and deform really easy.  

 

This also means no heating out fingers from the outside.  You will roast the outer rubber if you try this. :gasp

I can't remember 100% but I think the seals actually pull on those. 

 

Not the interior, BUT the exterior rubber on the door.

I cant believe this hasn't been mentioned yet.  Very easy to mess up if you have to try to heat a finger from the outside. :nono 

 

the rule use is no heatguns on the inside.  

But on this one, it's no heat on the outside door rubber. :err

I burnt a side pillar on a new Mazda 6 I think it was heating up half peel creases. I'm more comfortable pulling panels and seals so that eliminates a lot of heat gun use. Either way thanks for the warning.

I've never had an issue, but I angle my heat gun away from the seals. I heat maybe 2-3 inches away from the edge, and when I get close to the edge I aim the heat gun 45-60 degrees toward the center of the glass. The heat from 2-3 inches away conducts through the glass to meet up with the heat I'm applying at the edge.
