Got a '98 CRV with the same problem... well, kind of...

We were driving along when the front driver's tire blew it's tread... it shredded the fender liner, damaged the windshield washer fluid lines, and partially popped off the front bumper.

Thanks for the detailed DIY instructions... now we don't have to shell out $600 for Honda to do the repair. Still might have to take the car to them for repair on the fluid lines though... :nervous:
