2022-2025 Honda Civic Loose Door Weatherstripping TSB 25-008

Honda has released Service Bulletin (SB) 25-008, Version 2, dated January 30, 2025, to address instances of loose door weatherstripping in 2022-2025 Honda Civic models. This bulletin supersedes the earlier version of SB 25-008, dated January 24, 2025, and provides updated information for technicians. If you notice your Honda Civic weatherstripping loose, this bulletin outlines the cause and the necessary repair.

Symptoms

Owners of affected 2022-2025 Honda Civic vehicles may observe that "The door weatherstripping is loose or not set at the top of the door frame." This can lead to increased wind noise, water leaks, or simply an unsightly appearance around the door frame.

Possible Cause

The primary cause identified for the Honda Civic weatherstripping loose condition is external force. Honda suggests that customers may inadvertently grab the top of the door sash while entering or exiting the vehicle, which can dislodge the weatherstripping seal from its proper position.

Important Warnings

• Damaged Weatherstripping: This repair procedure is specifically for weatherstripping that is pulled out of the sash but is otherwise undamaged. If the weatherstripping is damaged, this procedure does not apply, and further diagnosis may be required.
• Door Checker Bolt: During the repair, the door-checker bolt must be removed. Honda warns that with this bolt removed, the door can overextend and potentially cause damage. Technicians must exercise care around the door until the new door-checker bolt is installed.

Repair Procedure Summary

To correct the Honda Civic weatherstripping loose issue, Honda's Service Bulletin 25-008 outlines a procedure to replace the weatherstripping on all four doors with improved parts. The general steps involve:

1. Remove Old Weatherstripping: Technicians will pull the edges of the existing weatherstripping from the door frame channel and release the clips holding it in place. Any broken clips must also be removed.
2. Remove Door Checker Bolt: The bolt securing the door checker will be removed and discarded.
3. Install New Weatherstripping: Starting from the front of the door, the new weatherstripping is installed in the reverse order of removal. This includes installing a new door-checker bolt, which must be tightened to a specification of 29 N·m (21 lb-ft).
4. Preparation and Fitment: Before final installation, the contact areas around the door are cleaned, and a soap and water solution is applied to the channel and the new weatherstripping to aid in smooth installation.
5. Final Installation: The new weatherstripping is fully installed, ensuring both its upper and lower edges are firmly seated in the door frame channel and that it is straight. If the door checker interferes, it may need temporary removal.
6. Cleanup: Any excess soap and water solution is cleaned from the door.
7. Repeat: This procedure is repeated for each door of the vehicle.
