Default Which bay area Honda dealers offer loaner cars?

Need to take my car in for the infamous window regulator (2nd time) and top rattle (latches).

The only thing keeping me from going to the dealer is the hassle of being dropped off, etc.

Is there a dealer in the bay area who offers loaner cars for warranty work?

Los Gatos Honda gives loaner cars for major services, but I'm not sure about warranty work...try calling them to ask.

I got a loaner car when I did my TSB-054 in Sunnyvale Hopkins.

When you say top rattles(latch)? do you mean excessive wind noise?

I took the car in a few months ago to Menlo complaining of a bad rattle from the passenger side convertible latch. Instead of replacing the strikers which they should of done, they "adjusted" them. Well they still rattle, and now I'm getting air leaks as well.

Hopkins might be out of the question for me since I live in Foster City and commute to Berkeley.

okay. I don't have any rattle in my latches. But I do get a bit of wind noise when top is closed, especially when I am on the freeway with 70mph+. Is that normal?

As far as I can remember, I got zero wind noise from the header when the car was new.

Thats normal. But there should be no wind noise coming from the header seal. I can hear wind noise on the freeway, especially if I flip the visors out of the way.
