annoying things on CL
#42
dont be mad
another thing that bugs me is the drivers side window, you can click it twice so it goes down all the way on its own....but it wont go up all the way on its own

On a side note, mine used to be able to do that, but after I disconnected the battery for a little bit, then hooked it back up, it stopped doing the auto up/auto down. Anyone know why?

I think you press and holdthe switch down for abour 3 secs after the window goes all the way down, then up again and hold for 3 secs then down again and hold for 3 secs.
At least thats what I did for my 06 TL, but I think there are too many steps but it still worked!
i have no problems with my dad 03 CLS side mirrors or A pillar. I'm only 5'9".
I hate his cup holder though. The covers are broken or something.
I think all hondas/acuras had the big A pillar problem due to the side airbags. In my TL when im making a left turn i always have to move my head cause of the A pillar and ive almost run people over many times cause of the A pillars, then they get all mad at me ha
In the new Honda/acuras they have reduced the side of the A pillar

besides the mirrors that always seem to be in way, i hate that the slider on the 03 cupholders that doesnt always wanna slide, and you cant recline the front seats all the way down. i kinda wish the seats sat a tad lower to

We need adjustable bolsters. They aren't tight enough. Sounds like you may need a different holster.

okay about the wiper thing i said:
you know how u can pull it down and the wipers go once "fast"?
well you just tap the knob down a little and the wipers jerk up a little, then u can safely go out the car, flip both the driver and passenger side up to either install new blades, clean or w/e....just remember to lower them again before opening hood of car or driving

I discovered that by accident one day when I though I wanted to use the 'mist' setting and changed my mind halfway through. I ended up just tapping it slightly by accident on volla! Wipers only jumped up just enough tolift them past the hood. Is this a procedure listed in someones service manual maybe?????

Annoying for me personally how when I disconnect the battery, I have to input a code to reset the sound system so I can listen to somethign while driving. No big deal I'm sure for the rest of you, except 1) The idiot who owned the CL before me didn't keep any documentation of ANY info for the car (didn't take good care of the car either) and 2) the dealer won't give me the code over the phone, so I have to drive like 3-4 towns over to prove that I own the car so I can get a 5 digit code and listen to the radio again. Of course I'd have to do this only once, but you know....... still.. Of course I can live without listening to the radio, just the whole inconvenience thing for me, personally.
Nothing really to do with the car itself, just circumstances surrounding it.

I got my code over the phone from Acura.
Gave them the vin, my info. Then they wanted a copy of my license faxed over to them so I snapped a picture with the phone, e-faxed it, called them back with the case number and they gave me the code.

That's how it's suppose to work. I did that to get the code for my navi system and they called me back to say they couldn't get it from the info provided and needed the numbers from the back of the navi system. Screw doing all that.

forgot to mention the main thing. I got the serial number of the radio by holding 1 and 6 at the same time or something similar. and had to give it to them.

I had given them the serial number off the DVD player and the one on the screen on the navi system and they still needed the one from the back of the system.

The plastic wind guard that pops up when the moon roof is open. It makes a very loud noise.
The driver side door panel likes to droop a little after some good use.
