#185 of 1069 Peanut butter by varmint Sep 04, 2003 (12:15 pm)
It works as a very mild abrasive. I once used it to clean tape residue off a spare tire cover that I was painting. I've been told that toothpaste also works.   While I'm sure PB would work, you can also use ordinary household cleaners with strong degreaser ingredients. Simple Green is an effective one, but be careful with it. That stuff will eat the plastic if you leave it too long. Wipe with it, then rinse the area with clean water.
#186 of 1069 Simple Green by theracoon Sep 04, 2003 (1:01 pm)
I agree with Varmint. I had the same problem with mine, and used diluted Simple Green to remove the white residue from the black plastic trim. However, be aware that Simple Green will also strip the wax from the paint, so try not to get it on the paint because then you'd need to re-wax, which opens up the possibility of getting wax on the plastic, requiring that you use Simple Green to remove it...   Definitely a Catch-22.
#187 of 1069 floor mats crv by airport Sep 05, 2003 (10:45 am)
jjsb31- I ordered the floor mats for $83 two weeks ago from hondapartsforyou.com. I checked all the accessory suppliers' links and they won out on price, and shipping was only $3.95. (I also ordered the front splash guards for $38. They were included in the same $3.95 shipping price even though it was a separate package.) They're in Danbury, CT and I'm in Virginia. Regular UPS delivery got it to me two days after I had ordered it. With that kind of service, they'll get my business again.   The mats are heavy duty, have a "CRV" embossed logo and look great. Two separate mats for the front and one long one that covers the entire back seat floor area. They have spikes to keep them from slipping, and for added measure, the driver's mat has two small holes in the side closest to the driver that attach to two hooks at the bottom of the seat on the floor. This eliminates the "creep" forward that sometimes occurs with floor mats from lots of foot activity accelerating and braking. They also have a slight lip that would help contain a drink spill or water brought in by feet during rain. I initially thought the $83 was kind of high, but they are quality and should last quite a long time.   Installing the splash guards was pretty easy,but I did have trouble unscrewing one of the self-tapping screws. It turned, but it simply didn't want to unscrew. I don't want to go into details about how I solved the problem, because it's too painful. It involved a hacksaw.
#188 of 1069 Sunroof Visor, Cargo Cover, Leather Steering Wh by gringo1 Sep 16, 2003 (11:48 am)
Hi, What are opinions on the sunroof visor? What does it do?   Is Cargo Cover a must have for "hiding" things away from sight?   Is the leather steering wheel attractive and superior to standard wheel?   Thanks.
#189 of 1069 RE: Wheel and Cover by stevedebi Sep 16, 2003 (11:51 am)
I have both the leather cover and the cargo cover, and both are great. I find my steering wheel to be much easier to grip, and the rear cargo cover installs in 5 minutes, has a storage indent on the cargo floor (to hold it in place when it is not being used as a cover), and is really useful. I can place anything I want back there and it is out of sight.   The only caveat is that the cargo cover squeaks a little bit due to the connection to the rear headrests. It doesn't bother me, so I haven't tried to fix it.

I have the leather wheel cover and like it well enough. Just make sure you don't leave any extra thread tucked under the wrap (the leather will mold itself to the shape like ring around the wallet). =)   I don't have the cargo cover. I fold the seats down much too frequently. It would just get in the way.

Sorry for a dumb question. But is the leather wheel cover easy to be put in?
#192 of 1069 Sunroof Visor and Spare Tire Placement ? by gringo1 Sep 16, 2003 (1:25 pm)
Thanks for the comments on the cargo cover and leather steering wheel cover. Good input.   We are choosing not to go with the hard cover for the spare tire, so does this mean the spare will come under the picnic table and lie flat?   Still curious about the visor for the sunroof. The dealer says it routes the air up and back and that that is a good thing.   Anyone have the sunroof without the visor? Does the air sweep down too much and would you consider the visor to keep flow going back?   Thanks. Replies to this message: peakrunner (Jun 24, 2006 7:30 am)

No, the spare tire will not fit under the picnic table.. It will just come on the back with a soft cover.... The problem with the sunroof is not the airflow, but the thrumming noise the air makes as it passes over the opening.. I crack the rear windows to alleviate this.. I'm not sure what effect the visor would have on that, but it would probably help.   regards, kyfdx
#194 of 1069 Varmint: The cargo cover could still work by stevedebi Sep 16, 2003 (2:13 pm)
The cover has two retractible pieces that clip onto the rear headrests. You could actually leave the thing installed and still drop the seats. It will stay up by itself.
