Everything was great, but almost every rubber part on that vehicle was so dried out that we have had a few issues with it. The Honda was a South Florida car so no rust, but sitting in the heat and not being driven sometimes is not a good thing. Kind of like a boat, the worst thing you can do is not use it. With that being said, most of what I did have to do was simple. I would check all the rubber parts, especially under the hood. The civic dip stick rubber was so dry it was flopping around in the tube, the wipers were so dry it literally scratched the windshield and had to be replaced, a few seals were dried up and had to be replaced also. Just something to check. Good luck.

Agreed! I know all too well how much the heat down here destroys things, not even just cars haha. In fact, this week alone the lowest temperature we’re getting to here is 103. I’m heading out to the dealership to check it out in a bit and I will definitely check those rubber molding/the roof for paint issues, etc.
