Replying to: anahita61 (May 30, 2007 7:17 am) it's quite normal. i get shocked more often than my family. Its what you call static electricity. Usually happens on dry cold days. The seat cover material is also is a factor. I've been shocked all my life from the office, to brushing with other people, to computers to cars. Most painful is with the car. I learned to deal with it by touching the metal part of the key and touching the other end of the key to the metal latch of the door before going out of the car. You i still feel the shock but it doesnt feel as strong compared if you touched a metallic object directly. Replies to this message: anahita61 (Jun 29, 2007 6:24 pm)

Replying to: tr4q3r (Jun 29, 2007 3:22 am) Yes, I know it's called static electricity. What I learned from others who replied to my original message is that I need to ground the car if I want it to go away. I've not grounded it, it still shocks me... every single time I get out of the car and touch the door to close it. Every single time. I hate it, but until I ground it, it's what I deal with. Small price to pay.
#65 of 113 rust proofing anyone? by fit07 Jul 05, 2007 (10:48 am)
this question may have already been asked and answered, but I couldn't find it...   Rust Proofing...I'm in Toronto Canada and we get a lot of salt on the road in the winter, so I know rust proofing is a must...but the question is which one...go with the dealer offer or use a third party?...any thoughts?
#66 of 113 fit bottom scrapped - what to do by poached Jul 14, 2007 (6:02 am)
Yesterday I scrapped the bottom of my brand new fit. It hasn't even had a single oil change yet. I am so upset. Is the front bumper made out of metal (rust) or fiberglass. What should I do to repair the damage? Should I get the dealer to work on it or buy a kit at the auto store and do it myself? Replies to this message: tr4q3r (Jul 15, 2007 9:24 pm)
#67 of 113 I didn't get the mats for the fit when I got the car by marcy46 Jul 15, 2007 (12:23 pm)
What else fits the sport fit besides the dealer car mats? I just couldn't spend that amt. of money on mats when I bought it yesterday...do I need to ? Replies to this message: jkandell (Jul 15, 2007 12:51 pm) reconman1 (Aug 09, 2007 4:32 pm) rapoe (Nov 04, 2007 7:51 pm)

Replying to: marcy46 (Jul 15, 2007 12:23 pm) It all depends. You can buy official mats a bit cheaper through internet. But I just bought some $10 plastic mats at Target and put some "no slip" shelf paper underneath. They still need readjustment every now and again but I just can't see paying more for what goes under my dirty feet. Replies to this message: reconman1 (Aug 09, 2007 4:32 pm)

Replying to: poached (Jul 14, 2007 6:02 am) i think its plastic. i scratched my lower right lip in the curb too. not quite obvious but still just breaks my heart. got it when it was still about 300 miles on it.
#70 of 113 Re: Rubber Button on back door [fitluver] by caldodge Jul 16, 2007 (1:26 pm)
Replying to: fitluver (May 24, 2007 5:01 pm) This IS covered in the owner's manual - it's a manual override for the Sport model, in case the electronic lock fails to unlock on command.   You're supposed pop the button out, using a small screwdriver.   I don't have the manual with me (wife has the car 230 miles away), but IIRC you move the flange to the right to unlock the hatch.
#71 of 113 My first car door scuff!!!!! by anahita61 Aug 08, 2007 (7:29 am)
I have been SO careful since I bought my Fit in March, always parking really far away from any other cars everywhere I go. Stores, work, even at home in my apartment complex, parking with several empty spaces on either side, purposefully. Yesterday at work I parked a little closer than that, and some schmo in a giant SUV parked right next to me. I didn't notice it until this morning, but the SOB opened his door until it hit mine, and now I have a white paint scuff mark about four inches long on my passenger door! I am so angry I can hardly stand it, and disappointed that so soon after purchase I've already experienced more damage than I did with my Toyota Tercel after 22 years of ownership.   I already had a rock fly up and scuff my windshield on the highway, a nail puncture my tire, and now this, paint on my door.   Anyone know how I can get it off? There doesn't appear to be any denting, or solid scraping of the paint, just this white paint scuff on my silver metallic paint. I rubbed with my finger, just to get a feel for how bad it is, and tried a little scrape with my fingernail, to no avail.   Also, I have noticed a road ding on the front hood, and underneath is black - is this normal? Is the black the "undercoat", and will I want to buy some Honda silver touch-up paint for that and any other little dings?   I wish I didn't have to drive on the highway for my commute, because that's where the dinging comes in, primarily (from gravel, etc., flying up from under tractor trailers), but this parking lot side-swiping thing is inevitable, I know. My Tercel had plastic "guards" along each side, so even if doors ever made contact, there would be no mark. The Fit seems so incredibly VULNERABLE.   Help getting this paint off?? Thanks!
