Moulding seal around rear triangle (non-opening) windows detached on both driver and passenger side of car creating an unsealed window and causing rubber 'strips' to flap while driving at a speed over 35mph. Soon after, the entire rubber seal on passenger side door detached allowing moisture and other elements to enter the vehicle. Took vehicle to dealership and was told that moulding is not covered by the manufacturers nor extended warranty that was purchased and that repairs would cost a minimum of $800. I called honda america to file a complaint and was told they do not maintain a database of defects. I have owned hondas in the past and have never found them to be so shoddily constructed. I own a 1968 vehicle that still has all moulding in tact. Unacceptable.

Weather stripping on 2010 honda insight passenger side detached from the front during highway driving in new mexico. Just purchased certified used car with less than 3,200 miles. 6 days and counting on repair of weather stripping with honda dealership in washington state.
When I originally purchased my insight, I noticed that the weather stripping was folding up. I had the dealership replace it, and within 2 days, the weather stripping flew off as I was driving down the highway. I went back to the dealership, and they replaced it again. 3 months later, same thing happened. The weather stripping, came off as I was driving causing a traffic hazard. This time I went to a different dealership, and their solution was to put double sided tape on the weather stripping. Its now been 2 weeks, and the ends of the stripping is coming up again.
