Noticed last night that the rear center break light was not flush to the rear glass. There is about a 1/4 inch gap. As a results, at night, when stepping on the breaks it also light up the cargo area in red. It wasn't a big deal before I noticed it. Once I noticed it, it is annoying. Always looking into the rear view mirror on a stop sign. I'll probably get some black tapes to block the gap.

I had no such issue with my Integra and older Hondas, strange!!

This is an old thread, but I just noticed that my '03 has the same problem. Anyone else notice this?

I'm going to call the dealer this morning about this (and a few other things).

Well, looks like this is just poor fit-and-finish on all 03's. The dealer tried to reduce the gap, but it didn't really help at all. They checked another X on the lot and said it was the same, so that's just the way it is.
