Red face Just got mt TL-S, sunroof is not flush - is yours?

Just picked up my car yesterday and in my excitement didnt really check the car out completely. Gotta say I love my car, but when I got it home I noticed that the sunroof is not flush with the roof, in fact the right side (passenger) is sticking out about 1/4 inch more than the left side. Anyone know about this, im gonna have it fixed if that's not normal?

If one side is doing something that the other isn't, it's definitely not normal and I'd take it back immediately. QC should be a lot better than that on a luxury performance vehicle. They should fix it free of charge and make sure they don't screw anything else up in the process like the paintjob. Good luck and have fun with that beast of a car!

Nope, not normal at all, and definitely not acceptable by any means.

Take it back! I hope they fix it well

That is not normal at all, Take it back!!!! Best way to find anything like that is to just get your car home and wash it, then when you are pouring over every inch of the car you'll notic anything amiss. I just finished my car today, and shes in perfect shape.

I agree with Mr. Hyde. Just hand washed my TL-S yesterday, and found the following defects that will be corrected next week:
1. Paint imperfections (two of them) on the hood.
2. Door behind driver's side door is not flush (needs adjusting).
3. Imperfection on my front left wheel. Apparently Acura noticed this, as this area has been marked with light blue magic marker (or something)

What do you mean by imperfection? I remember saw a blue mark on one of my tires too. Do you mind give some details?

The moonroof can be adjusted by your dealer by simply adding or removing some shims to the frame of the glass,shouldn't be a big deal.The blue dot on your tire may be an inspection mark left over from the manufacturing process,I have tried in the past to get these dots off the tires but they are very stubborn so most of the time they just get left on.I have also been told by some that this dot is somehow used by the factory to determine balancing weight installation points.Jens

Casualwalk. I should have said that the imperfection that I referred to on my wheel, is on the rim itself, and not the tire.

Okay, I do notice that my moonroof seems to stick out just a bit. The glass is not curved like the roof of the car. Anyone have this problem and actually get the dealer to fix it?

I had the same problem with my CL. HTe dealer fixed it no problem. I believe the replaced the rails. Plan on it taking several hours because they have to take apart the roof.
