Should I Call the Body Shop About 2004 Honda Odyssey Leaking Roof?

I just got my 2004 Honda Odyssey back from the body shop Friday (this is Wednesday). They fixed my back lift gate after someone backed into my car. I had them check the lift gate seal because I had some leaking from the roof into the cargo hold for the first time last winter on the side of the accident. Some of the forms I use for my job were damaged. I wasn't sure if it was actual leaking from around the seal, if the leak was caused by the accident or by snow melt either through the seal or when I opened the lift gate and ice melt dripped onto my papers.

I couldn't have the dent fixed right away because the guy who backed into me denied it until the insurance company got access to parking lot camera film. That took about 6 weeks. Then it snowed and I was busy with my job so I waited.

I took my 2004 Odyssey in Monday and I got the van back from repairs on Friday. It rained hard last night (Tuesday) and now the van it is leaking in the front. I think it involves the seal on the top. Could the body shop have done something to cause the leak? Should I call them? Can I do something to the seal to stop the leak? Should I just let the body shop handle it?

Yes, take it back and let them find the leak. They are professionals and will know how to fix this way better than you. If there's an extra cost which was caused by the accident then the guy's insurance who hit you will pay for that.

  • 2004-2006 Honda Odyssey or Toyota Sienna? I need to buy a family vehicle but the people at the auto sales place is not really helpful since he literally doesn't care and is fun ung flying colors on both. Anyhow I would like to see if anyone knowledgeable could give me the pros and cons on each or just tell me whitch is better.
  • Not getting a call back from job applying job as an auto consiltant at Honda Dealership? I submitted my resume on friday evening now kts monday evening and no phone call. They say don't follow up bu phone call because the business might think youre too desperate which is not good. The pefered method is through email but i don't know who to email because the manager does not have an email address.
  • Do you think if they call a car a Sport model it should go fast? I remember when I think the Honda Fit/Jazz was called the "Sport model" and it got criticised for having soft suspension. These days "Sport" is used in most cars is used on the one with the most features and not fast cars very much. Should the ones with the most features be calling something else rather than sports?
  • What do you call that square metal that protrudes in Honda CRV underside? My uncle has a Honda CRV and It is always a bummer, also a photo bummer seeing that metal that is visible when looking at the front of the car. My uncle sometimes go on harsh roads on it and most of the time it catches some twigs, brushes vines, even have few dents after hitting some rocks… I mean what is that? I know does something to its suspension but come on it kinda ugly to look at especially its usually the first thing people will notice.
