It seems you have a different Jazz than most here.

I seem to think so:

Boot & bonnet don’t close without slamming

Rain sensitive wipers don’t wipe often enough

Auto headlights don’t come on quickly enough in high speed tunnels

Heated steering wheel is barely luke warm

Infotainment takes 40 seconds to boot sometimes with nothing plugged in

Randomly you cannot connect a phone to the car no matter what you do

Air conditioning only adequate, with high fan speeds most of the time

And more…

Maybe I have a Friday afternoon car?

I have no idea how that goes in Japan, but I suspect an (early) Monday morning car...
If nothing goes right, go left!

My replies related to hood and boot locking becomes off topic, sorry about that
Filmed mine.
On hood I adjusted rubber support under hood (they used to align hood to car body parts) after the adjustment hood closing flawlessly
Boot not touched but almost no problems to close it

I did post my bonnet alignment change, with images ages ago.

https://clubjazz.org/forum/index.php?topic=13682.msg110757#msg110757

I did it because the owner manual advice to drop it from 18" just didn't work. It didn't need much adjustment, only a couple of mm and it now closes from just over 12" and the shut line is still smooth.

It also made the bonnet slightly easier to open in that I don't need to pull so hard on the inside lever to make it pop. It was very stiff.
Let's be careful out there !

Many thanks- yes, we do have completely different cars.

My tailgate usually takes 2-3 tries to close every time , with increasing slamming force until it finally closes.

Two main dealers have told me that’s normal.

One even sent me a  health check video of the mechanic saying it was normal and dropping/pushing it from height.

Yours closes how I would expect it to close.

...I adjusted the bonnet catch as per Kremmen's post. Need to look at it again though as it's still a bit of a high drop but much better than before.

I had the 'boot strap' fitted at time of purchase and don't have a problem when closing the boot.
It's easier to 'swing' it down to close it and sometimes a helping hand is required just before the latch connects but nothing close to a slam!

For me, no matter what I do it's several goes to try and get the tailgate shut, before it eventually does with a loud slam. Bonnet is a violent throw down slam every time otherwise I will be there for ages trying.

There are only 3 main dealers near me:

- the one I bought the car from, now seems to be concentrating on MG as a big area of their site is MG sales/branding

- the one I use for servicing, and who used to service my civic and accord very well

- another dealer in a large town that used to be good, but now don't open early and don't have loan cars despite being out of town... and don't bother to reply to emails either. I expect them to close soon.

So I'm stuck for getting things done.

My current servicing dealer is a 50 mile round trip :( The nearest one to me apart from the other two.

There aren't that many Honda dealers around any more here unfortunately.

...My nearest 3 dealers are 6,13 and 14 miles away. I've apparently got 8 dealers within 60miles!

I'm in Vertu Honda territory  :)

Found 2 sleeves with wires

The problem on sides of seat base in my picture, there 2 fabric sleeves with wires that going to the back of seat that should be inside (behind fabric skirt), but tecnitian not put them in right place, they should go throught litle hole of seat base cushion on sides and then under seat to connectors and that way they will be hiden and not reachable by passengers foots, reroute them not a big problem but how to deal with this wires if that goes to SRS.
Needed to take new parts and repair all at home.

I'm joining the club right now, I've checked my driver seat this morning, and after 1 year and 10 months of owning my Jazz, the "leather" side part of the seat is cracking.
I'm just 73kg so I'm not seating over the side etc. while driving, I'm pretty sure that cracked while getting in and out the car.
I'll ask my dealer what Honda wants to do about it.

Hi, later I will also go and check my seat, although I would be surprised to see it damaged, I have so few kilometers on the car that I do not expect to find any damage,
but what happens only on the driver's seat (and therefore would suggest the wear of the seat) or also on that of the passenger (and therefore would suggest poor quality of the material)?
(Sorry for the mistakes I used Google translate)
