#82 of 113 Door plastic tape splitting? by jkandell Aug 29, 2007 (7:37 pm)
Has anyone else experienced the black plastic "tape" on the exterior of the door frame splitting, exposing the paint underneath? At first it was just along the top but now it's along the side of one door too. One dealer in town denied this was a warrantee issue, but I'm going to insist: it's not normal for the parts to start disintegrating. I'm at 4200 miles at about eight months.

#84 of 113 Cleaning Spills On The Interior Seats by sportyfit Mar 25, 2008 (6:20 am)
So, today I accidentally dropped my travel cup full of iced tea into my lap as I was exiting my Fit Sport (it tapped the side of the steering wheel as I was removing it from the cup holder and it dropped, go figure).   Does anyone have recommendations on how to remove stains from the seat fabric? I soaked it up immediately with napkins, but it got on the gray mesh of the seat and now there is a noticably darker splotch.     Replies to this message: somdamon (Aug 23, 2008 3:22 pm)

Replying to: Sylvia (Apr 29, 2006 6:24 pm) One of my businesses is a higher end detailing company. I've used just about every product out there over the years. Believe it or not... 95% of the time (unless a customer wants something else specific) we are using Zaino products.   I have also recently starting spraying an amazing fabric protectant (been selling to dealers, etc) that has absolutely amazing results and benefits. It's been in use on high end jets for 15+ years and has always been a "green" product.   Mike's Blog
#86 of 113 cracked windshield by larry_s Apr 30, 2008 (9:05 pm)
I was driving just before sunrise yesterday morning when I noticed a crack in my windshield. About a foot and a half long, starting near the lower left corner of the windshield in the "seal" and traveling up and to the right at about 45 degrees. Crack's in the outer layer not inner.   My Fit's only about five months old. Haven't had a cracked windshield in years. There is a very tiny ding partway along the crack. I've had other dings like this in other cars without cracks.   Anyway, I'm wondering if I was just unlucky or if there's some know problem with the windshield that others are experiencing.   Great car, otherwise.   Larry Replies to this message: anahita61 (May 07, 2008 6:56 am)

Replying to: larry_s (Apr 30, 2008 9:05 pm) larry_s, I had to replace my Fit's windshield about six months after I bought it - a tiny rock hit the bottom of the windshield and a crack ran straight up and began to turn and spread further horizontally. The guy who replaced it said that windshields are weaker on the edges. It wasn't a big deal to get a new one - the guy came to my job and put the new one in. It wasn't even very expensive. But yeah, that was a first for me, after owning my last car for 22 years - never had a crack, and I know I had a few rocks bounce up and hit it while driving on the highway. Maybe the Fit's glass is not as good?
#88 of 113 Gas Cap Question on 2007 Fit Sport by johndintexas May 13, 2008 (11:48 am)
My wife has a 2007 Fit Sport, and I don't fill it up all that much. We've had it almost a year now, and I just now noticed something a bit odd the last time I filled it up.   When I removed the plastic exterior gas cap, I noticed that there isn't one of those little metal tabs that cover the hole down into the gas tank. Usually, a car will have one of those metal tabs as protection, and when you go to fill it up, the nozzle of the gas pump will push it open.   In other words, once you unscrew the exterior gas cap, there's nothing there but an open hole down into the gas tank.   I'm wondering, did I just never notice that the Fit doesn't have one of these little metal tabs, or did it originally have one and maybe it broke off sometime?   Thanks!

Replying to: johndintexas (May 13, 2008 11:48 am) I just got my 2008 Base Fit last Friday and filled it up a couple of times because we took it on a road trip... now that I think about it, I don't think mine has the tab either.   I'll double-check next time, but... what's the point of the tab anyhow? Is it some back-up for the gas cap?   I've always remembered to replace the gas cap and don't intend to start forgetting now!   Replies to this message: johndintexas (May 14, 2008 8:13 am)

Replying to: thora47 (May 13, 2008 12:20 pm) Yes, please check next time, and let me know.   I think the tab is to block any foreign objects from going into the gas tank if the cap is not on, like you mentioned, as a back-up. Also, if your cap breaks and you have to drive, say, in the rain, it will stop water or anything else from going into the tank.   If the car doesn't have one, it's not that big a deal -- if you fill up and don't put the gas cap back on, there's actually a light on the dashboard that will display to let you know.   I just thought it was a bit weird, though, that there isn't one, as I've never seen a car without one. But if the car did have one and it broke off or something, I'd want to take the car in while it's under warranty and get it fixed.   Enjoy your new Fit, and thanks!
