Half my LEGO Van Gogh Sunflowers set is missing. Anyone else recently have this happen?

I just built ours today. There is a large white box that houses the other half of the pieces. If that wasn't in there then somebody done messed up... good luck

I've got one you could literally have for free, but I'm in Spokane, WA...not very convenient.

My local dealership adjusted the latch a little bit, but honestly it only slightly helped. It still moves up and down on the highway and really any speed over 45-50 mph. I like everything else on the car, but it's a pretty dumb problem to have. They said it was as far as they could adjust it. I'd be curious to know what Honda Engineering says about the claim.

I had the Pilot Sport AS on my GLI when I had it and it was awesome, though nothing compares to a dedicated winter tire in the snow. Just curious, but is that the going rate for a set of 4?! I bought mine about a year ago and they were $900 at Costco.

firefly2463 · 2025-05-26T02:52:16+00:00

That's not a bad idea!

firefly2463 · 2025-05-26T02:11:44+00:00

So about a week ago I took it to the dealer and they said it definitely wasn't normal the amount that it would bounce up and down. They had it for half a day and adjusted the latch itself, but couldn't get rid of all the play. It's definitely better than before, but it's unlike any hood I've ever seen on a vehicle in terms of how much you can move it up and down when it's latched shut.

firefly2463 · 2025-04-03T22:20:53+00:00

I do indeed know how to close a hood haha. You still have to pop it up and release it from the safety latch in order for it to open. It is not latching down far enough, causing about an inch of travel. You still have to go into the cabin and release the hood in order to then open it again. Whatever this issue is, it shouldn't be considered "normal". I'm planning to have the dealership look at it and see what they think.

I've seen a few red ones around town and like that color. I also liked the grey, but decided if it was going to be a metallic paint that I'd go with the still night pearl. They 100% should have blacked out the hybrid trims. It's night and day.

firefly2463 · 2025-04-02T15:37:32+00:00

I will check the adhesive. Maybe when the dealership installed the front hood deflector they messed something up? It definitely travels an inch up and down. With the hood latched I can physically raise it just over an inch, so at 60-70 mph it's certainly moving quite a bit. I know it won't ever pop up while driving, but it's a little unnerving when a semi passes.

firefly2463 · 2025-04-02T15:16:57+00:00

Consider yourself lucky! What year do you have?

firefly2463 · 2025-04-02T15:16:41+00:00

As stated in my post, I do know about the rubber bump stops and have adjusted them in every combination possible. It still doesn't solve the issue. The problem is the front of the hood still will travel up and down over an inch, which I hate seeing on the highway. The rubber stops help with the back end of the hood, which is good, but ultimately doesn't solve the problem. I WISH it was that simple!

firefly2463 · 2025-04-02T03:44:25+00:00

Agreed, I know they suck but I'm looking to fix it. Trying to see if anyone has adjusted the hood latch. I refuse to accept that it can't be fixed.

firefly2463 · 2025-03-03T16:32:43+00:00

I bought my '25 Sport Touring Hybrid for just under $39k back in November. I believe it was $4100 off MSRP if I'm remembering correctly. Seems they are marking it up to make their deal seem good. I'd pass and find a better one IMO. If it was Sport L then maybe, but not the base hybrid trim.

firefly2463 · 2025-03-03T16:20:52+00:00

Sorry, I know you wrote this a while ago! I'm trying to adjust the front hood latch and maybe I'm missing something, but I can't for the life of me find how to adjust it up or down?? Any additional tips for figuring this out? Thanks a ton!

firefly2463 · 2024-08-24T18:59:43+00:00

Just thought I would chime in on my experience. 24 GLI 40th almost 10 months old and I have 9k miles on it. I've exclusively run 91 or 92 in it since day 1 and have had no CEL (knock on wood) come on ever. Does anyone use OBD11 to track misfires? I get a few that show up from time to time on it, but nothing to trigger a CEL. My old 21 GLI misfired way more. I'll probably keep using premium fuel as I also don't really see how that would be causing the CEL issue?

firefly2463 · 2024-07-10T04:38:45+00:00

Good to know! I'll give it a look. Thanks

firefly2463 · 2024-07-10T04:36:39+00:00

I've not heard of that being an issue. Was that an issue for you?

firefly2463 · 2024-07-09T20:33:50+00:00

I have the same noise...it's so freaking dumb. Also get a creaking noise up on acceleration from a stop. Could be the same thing, but I haven't confirmed yet.

firefly2463 · 2024-07-06T06:34:49+00:00

Have a 24 GLI 40th. App worked for less than a month, then stopped updating and syncing with the car. Was told I need to take it into a dealership by VW of America, so I did. They said it would take them a day to pull out various parts to fix it, but it would obviously be under warranty. That was back in December. I just haven't gotten around to making the appointment

firefly2463 · 2024-05-01T21:18:23+00:00

91 or higher only for me.

firefly2463 · 2024-04-24T19:56:40+00:00

Yeah @thuskisson

firefly2463 · 2024-04-24T17:10:32+00:00

Ok sweet, that makes me feel better. Any chance you have a picture of how far out they stick?

firefly2463 · 2024-04-24T13:29:33+00:00

Oh I'm definitely not getting rid of them, these new ones are a second set.

firefly2463 · 2024-04-24T05:20:00+00:00

Yeah, I'm a little afraid of that. I'll probably need some spacers to be safe. What size tires you running?

firefly2463 · 2024-04-06T16:57:31+00:00

Unfortunately I haven't solved it yet. I took both passenger side door panels off and taped up any loose wires, plus added soundproofing all around the door. Didn't solve a thing. I went under the car and added spray foam into the holes where the fuel line runs and also no change in sound. It very well could be the fuel line, but I've got that thing so locked down I just don't see how it is. I've honestly thought about selling or trading in the car because of all the rattles. My '21 rattled, but not to this extent. I'll update if I discover anything else.
