I think there's a bigger issue than Honda is acknowledging. Please visit my site http://www.elementscrack.com and see how to email me. You can contact me at rob@elementscrack.com or rrawlings1@hotmail.com I want to post as many pictures and stories as possible.

Wow. We're taking this a little personally, yes?
I hope you have a good lawyer.

I dunno, I do think this issue needs a muckracker! The good lawyer comment would probably be a wise move, though...

I'm serious about the lawyer bit. Targeting a specific company and/or product is dicey territory, no matter how "right" you think you are. The "walmarts*cks.com" site still exists only after many thousands of $$$ were thrown at fighting-off the swarm of lawyers representing the Bensonville clan. I realize this isn't "hondas*cks.com", but it's still an affront against somebody with very deep pockets.
Honda is extremely image-conscious, so I'd give it a week... well, maybe a month... before the first "cease and desist" letter arrives.
And this doesn't include the spectre of a SLAPP suit - Strategic Lawsuit Against Protesting Parties - but SLAPPs usually backfire on consumer product companies in the form of bad press.

Eh, I dont think so. I think something is wrong. There were only 8 complaints on the national traffic safety board for the 2003's, however there are currently 18 for the 2004's. I've looked at polls and some of the people who have used NON honda windshields seem to have windows that last longer, but I've seen a case where a guy who uses only Honda windshields has had to replace his four times. I believe that when a specific model of car has a consistent problem (which this seems to be) its a design flaw, and should be addressed by the manufacturer.

Uh, there are way more than 8 complaints about bad windshields for the 2003s! Last time I looked, there were over 60...and that was a while ago.
