List the problems with your Sol!
We might be able to help each other out with our little problems:
1) Transmission going out - being rebuilt tonight.
2) Drivers side door handle/lock doesnt work, I have to open from outside. I just havent had the chance to take it apart and put it back together.
3) I still need to remove window tint from my rear window. Has anyone got any experience doing this without harming the defroster lines?
4) Today there started a clicking noise under the glove compartment/dash when I turned on the fan for heat. As I move it up to high, it clicks faster, but you can barely hear it over the sound of the air coming out of the vents. It's bugging me. Ideas?
5) Front driver side is bent back because the corner light doesn't line up properly. I guess that'll be repaired when I go to a body shop.
6) Due to #5, I can never get the alignment just right.
7) The gas cap doesn't pop out properly when I hit it.
8) Trunk doesn't open all the time when I pop the latch. Actually, it never really just pops up like it's supposed to. I have to pull it like 10 times and hold it up for a few seconds before I go back and it'll lift up.
9) The infamous slight leaks from the roof.
I think that's my to do list so far. After that, I'll get going on my suspension upgrades. :happysad:

4) mine leaks a bit too, but I havent found from where.
5) I broke mine in a carwash and had to get it from Honda. They're like $40 ... it sucks. Unless, of course, anyone else can find it cheaper. You can prolly check ebay or ask anyone parting out a sol ...

1. Headlight on driver side does not line up with bumper
2. Headlights seems to be pointed to low, but adjusting hardly does anything.
3. Slight roof leak
4. Clutch chatter
5. I bought a fiberglass front bumper
6. Needs new tires
7. Running rich
8. Possible valve noise
BTW to fix the trunk not popping, open the trunk and untwist the rubber knobs in the trunk lid a little bit. To fix the gas door, open it and bend the metal piece out a bit. That will fix it.

I tried that with the gas door, and it hardly did any good. :sad:
EDIT: I can undo the 2 screws holding the door in place, but that makes it rather difficult to line up properly with the rest of the side panel.

1) Driver's side door lock/handle don't work quite right from the inside, very stiff and hard to use (I hear you, Sxecrow!)
2) Weird clicking noise from what sounds like behind the dash or seam of door and body on driver's side when the car has heat on the inside. They are random, and totally intermittant. Sometimes lots of them, sometimes only once in a few minutes.
3) interior collects huge amount of dust in a small amount of time, leading to many sneezes.
4) Shifter bushings pretty worn, shifts are quite notchy.
5) Passenger side wiper-fluid nozzles are completely plugged up. from road salt/ice/who knows what. Tried fixing it with a pin, didn't work.
6) About 10,000 dings all across the body of the car, especially the hood. They seem to breed and multiply by night.
7) Zero torque below 3500 rpm in any gear other than first. Hell, even in first gear!
8) No trunk latch, JDM sunvisors, maplights, low fuel light, etc.
9) Ok, now I'm not really listing problems, just gripes. Seeya!
