Taking delivery tomorrow, what should I watch out for?

I know about the real time traffic and XM. Is there anything that I should watch out or request at the delivery time?

2006 RL
Wood steering
Backup sensors

Congrats.

I'd drive it and make sure the alignment is good and there are no rattles. RL's are pretty solid, but just to be sure.

Make sure that they removed all the sticky residue from the protective shipping cover.
Key places to check:
Roof - near the XM antenna
Along the quarter panels
Under the side view mirrors
Trailing edge of the trunk

Ask if your new RL is equipped with the brand new brake pads that Acura had just released to combat squealing.

Ask to see if all TSB's have been completed - Though I believe yours is an 06, so not sure if there any for your year yet.

Ask if they can find a little bit of Shinetsu grease from inside the shop and apply it on the seal of your sunroof. There have been complaints from owners of squeaks coming from there.

Ask for assistance to pair your key up with your personalized settings. I remember when doing ours, it took us a bit of time and fustration to get it right.


That's about it.. Congrats and Enjoy!!

Pairing the keys is easy. Just tell it to remember for each driver.

Have all the TSB numbers with you. They won't find them all otherwise.

I thought all of the TSBs are for 05, correct me if I am wrong.

The sunroof grease is a good one. I will ask them to do that. By the way my car will have the 3M protection on and hopefully they removed all sticky residue. I will be checking the car very very carefully. Thanks for the reply guys.

I guess I am no longer UW TL. I will need to find another name then.
