Just got back from the dealers today. Surprisingly they gave me mediocre service unlike most times....F grade customer satisfaction. Told them about the various problems on the accord and they fixed most of my problems. I got new brake pads for the fronts and resurfacing on front+rear. They put some kind of insulation in places where rear deck rattling came from. They greased up my moon roof because it was making weird styrofoam noises when going over inclines and declines at an angle. Also had my steering centered...mine was a little off. Enough to bother me. They also ordered new tailights for me and are installing them on monday with a looser fit to prevent rubbing against the bumper. What they didn't fix was the misaligned glovebox. They said all accords come like that and they don't have a fix for it.... I'll see in a couple days if the squeals, rattles, and noises come back.

If the brake pads are eaten up & the rotors needed re-surfacing (being eaten up too) why not ask for new rotors & start out completely fresh?

I don't think it's so much that the glovebox is "misaligned" as it is that it becomes loose VERY quickly. My RSX had the same issue. There's a DIY fix, but it's kinda ghetto. Looks fine, but it's not exactly anything "official".
Anyhoo...good luck with all the stuff that was fixed.

My first and only time at the dealer, I went there for an oil change and a broken roof molding. They changed my oil and added oily finger prints to my roof,steering wheel,hood and door handle. Bent my new Weathertech floor mats and marked the paper work that the molding was checked and everything was fine. I went back in and looked pissed and asked who worked on my car, they wouldnt tell me, they said they were very busy and it could be one of 4-5 techs. Now im getting louder and said who checked my molding that is noticabley broken and marked good. The girl runs in the back and comes right out and says we are ordering you a new molding. We will see what happens when I go back.

If you make the latch that is hanging on the dashboard shorter (the one that is used by the lock on the glove box to hold it closed) then the glove box will be closing closer to the dash and the misalignment will be less noticeable.

I had the steering wheel problem also. Canted to the left about 4-5 degrees or so. After 3 visits, they recentered the wheel by adjusting the tie rods. Is this what they did for you? I still think mine is 2 degrees off, but better than it was.

The steering is never gonna be perfect. It was just really noticeable thats why i got it fixed. they didnt get an F this time but all the other times i visited the dealers.
