I need some help with my rear window. Up until now, I pretty much only had the two fold you get from putting it down. Well, I took it into the dealer last week, and when they did a courtesy wash for me they put the top down right afterwards, so the top didn't have a chance to dry. But then this could have been from sitting out in the cold as well. It's hard to tell what caused it. Now I know the plastic window doesn't exactly absorb water, but ever since then it seems to havev become rather wrinkly and seems to bulge in places instead of being just smooth with the two folds. There is even one particular spot on the bottom fold where it bulges back out (instead of in along the crease like usual) and it's starting to cause some rear view diffuculties.

Now I can pretty much eliminate the dealer as stepping up to help with this, so is there anyway I can sort of "flatten" it out again? Is it better to leave it with the top up or down for this? The only thing that come to mind is maybe waiting until this summer when it gets warm out and then that might "soften" the window, allowing me to maybe then put the top down and maybe reform or flatten it out. Any ideas are welcome.

TIA for your ideas, guys.

I have had success with hot water. But the easiest thing to do is to wait until a sunny day and park it outside.

i work at a honda dealer and there is a bulletin for the rear window being clouding, scratched, or creased. you can get it from the dealer (bulletin #00-037) or off the internet.

Yeah, I think I already have the tsb on how take care of the rear window. I had forgotten about it before posting this, and hopefully when I try this it will work.
