Little things on window

jbswads · 05-30-2006, 04:36 PM

I have an 06 Civic Coupe LX. And I am wondering what the little black things are on the top of my driver and passenger window on the outside. They aren't bothering me....I'm just wondering what the heck they are and if they serve any purpose.

BTW.... just got my car on Saturday and I love it. I went from a 02 Mazda Protege 5. This is such a great car. I should have moved over to Honda sooner.

"Pull here to enter" tabs.

Sorry, old joke. Many, many 00-01 Si owners had those little window tabs used as the beginning point of entry where theives pulled the moulding out then forced down the window.

I started a thread on those a while ago. The consensus is they help the window stay in its track.

Little black protrusion above side windows

has anyone also noticed the door compress when the window is up.. i cant explain it any better, but do your window up and down and watch the door on the inside.. why does it do that?

also if its that easy for car theives to get in your car with that nub.. whatsthe best way to prevent this?

Yea, the inside door panel moves when you raise/lower the window.
Just not a lot of room inside the door I guess. It's typical, though, so not something to worry about--my coupe does the same thing. :-)

Same thing here, I noticed it the first day I bought the Si. Looks kinda weird combination of powerful window motor and very thing plastic/sheet metal in door.
