    Repaint the whole panel ... in this case, the whole roof.

    Problem is normal in old civics.

    naku pag may bulutong sa labas most probably grabe na yan sa loob.

    I suggest bring the car to a body shop then remove the ceiling. Common sakit ng civic ang corrosion sa roof. Nagisismula yan pag natanggal yung dikit ng stiffener ng roof. Sobrang kapit ng stiffener na yun sumasama yung galvanized coating ng roof skin so naka exposed ang metal. And since hindi kita yan kakalawangin from the inside and pag tumagos na ang kalawang palabas, nagkaka bulutong and by this time kalat na ang cancer.

    Solution is to cut off the stiffener, cut off the part of the roof skin kung san may kalawang then weld new pieces of sheet metal. Pag malala na ang kalawang minsan buong roof ang pinapalitan. Prepare mga 10-12k for the roof repair.

    Pero ako nag experiment ng repair process. Dalawang civic na ang nagawa ko using this and hindi na bumalik ang kalawang. I removed the stiffener using an angle grinder. Then I used the grinder to grind off all parts na may kalawang, to the point na nagka butas butas na ang roof. Once wala nang kalawang I used fiberglass to patch up the holes.

    Then yung stiffener tiniktik ko kalawang then repaint then reinstalled using steel epoxy.

    Tapos repaint ng roof.

    Mura ang repair process, no welding required ;)

    ^^ ive seen EG and EK na well maintained to the point na hindi nababasa yung oto masyado pero may bulutong pa rin.

    sa tingin ko, its not how the car is being maintained pero sakit na talaga ng mga gantong models.

    yung akin wala pa naman as of now. chambahan lang daw yung mga unit kung ano yung prone sa hindi.

    edit: sir emong3, question lang po, yung sa fiberglass ng patches, meron ba method to do it or salpak lang ng fiberglass? ive heard mahirap daw apply yung mga fiber with the resin.

    yes sir kasi hindi naman sa labas nagsisimula ang kalawang kundi sa loob. Pag humiwalay yung adhesive ng roof stiffener doon na nagsisimula ang kalawang. Since may roof liner ang kotse hindi mo malalaman na nag sisimula na kalawang hangang sa tumagos na palabas at yun ang nakikita natin na bulutong. Once may bulutong na ibig sabihin grabe na sa loob.

    regarding sa fiberglass, hindi naman mahirap mag apply. just make sure na malinis ang metal walang kalawang and walang paint bago pahiran ng resin and pag tapal ng fiberglass cloth.

    Bulutong is a common problem of Honda's, mainly on its roof.
    Someone told me that it's only prevalent on locally manufactured Honda.
    I had it on my CRV-97.
    I commissioned an auto shop to have it removed and replaced with a Japan made roof equipped with sunroof.
    After which I had the whole body parts, including rims, re-painted.
    Okay na ulit :-)
