Replying to: anahita61 (Aug 08, 2007 7:29 am) 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!   Go to a professional detailer and have them buff it out. Then have them install some body colored side molding. It will protect it next time in a parking lot. You are going to get dings and chips and everything and for some reason the more you worry the more you get or notice you get. Not much you can do about rocks flying up and hitting the windshield. At least you don't get hurt. So a few bucks to buff it out and a bunch more to add the side moldings and you are golden, problem solved. Replies to this message: anahita61 (Aug 08, 2007 10:28 am)

#75 of 113 Awful time with front bumper! by charmedseed Oct 31, 2007 (4:37 pm)
Since I bought my Fit in 2006, I've had a terrible time with my front bumper getting caught on and pulled off by curbs! It's in terrible shape now... is anyone else having this trouble?

Replying to: marcy46 (Jul 15, 2007 12:23 pm) The cheapest solution is to buy 2 yards of floor matting from a hardware supply (Home Depot, etc). And cut and trim it to fit. It comes in black perfectly matching the existing floor. The 2 yards cost less than $10 and worked for both front wells. At that price they can be replaced if they get grundgy.
#77 of 113 Seat covers by rapoe Nov 04, 2007 (8:00 pm)
Now that I helped solve the floor mat situation, what about seat covers? Again the dealer cost is high and have looked for others cheaper. But I see problems: How are the seats covers installed? The plastic apron on the outside edge of the seats seems to make it tough. Then the covers for the back would cover access to adjustment levers and headrest removal. Any solution? Do the dealer covers take this into account?
#78 of 113 I smashed the rear door on a brand new Fit by marcy46 Nov 05, 2007 (4:13 pm)
Be sure to have your doors closed if you back out of a carport. The door could catch on a pole and have to be replaced..I did it. So far the estimate to replace the door is $1030. My grandson forgot to close the door and I forgot to check before pulling out. Honestly the floor mats seem like no problem at all to me now. I will check out the matting and likely will do what you did after I replace the door. Thanks for the response.
#79 of 113 Seat covers. by rapoe Nov 16, 2007 (4:07 pm)
Do you know you cannot use seat covers in the FIT? I was searching for ways to get around the lever at the upper shoulder level for moving the seat forward when I saw this patch which is labeled side air bag.   I called the dealer and asked. He said the owner's manual tells you NOT to interfere with this. He says, though they don't say it, seat covers would. So don't use 'em!   So why are they selling seat covers at the dealer???

Replying to: rapoe (Nov 16, 2007 4:07 pm) It depends on what kind of seat covers you get. I know there are places online that sell seat covers that are specifically made for each type of vehicle - they leave an opening where the side air bag is. I am looking into getting covers from CoverKing, and they do make provisions for side air bags.   It may just be a matter of getting something like that instead of a generic seat cover.
