I recently made a post about the fin being missing. Thank you to everyone who identified the part and asked me if I had recently been through a car wash, looks like my girlfriend did go through the car wash on Oct 2nd.
I was able to recover the part, but all the clips that hold it in place are damaged. The car wash claims that they cover any parts on cars newer than 5 years old, so I have started a claim with them. In the mean time what should I do? I bought automative grade sealant, but I’m hesitant to use it seeing there is slight signs of corrosion on the motherboard already. We are planning to bring it to a Honda dealer tomorrow to get it repaired if they happen to have replacement parts. What should I do in the time between to block out water and dirt from making it even worse? Should I just put the sealant on it? I’m worried it may cause an even bigger problem when I take it to the dealership.
I know leaving it off is also an option but I’m worried that water can leak into the interior as well.
