This write up is for fixing some `errors` that are on the Scosche kit for the Honda Fit.
Currently the Kit vs the OEM is that the bottom most mounting points are too long, and don't allow the middle mounts to attach to the AC unit properly, and don't allow your knobs to fully attach to the AC control unit. Proper installation should make the knobs `snap` into place.
Now the modification process so it fits properly.
If you brake your new scosche kit, be warned, i am not responsible for any one elses actions, you have your own actions to pay for. If you don't feel comfortable doing this yourself, have someone you can trust do it for you.
Anyways,
Tools needed are:
1. Your Scosche Kit (don't use someone elses without permission)
2. Dremel tool with cutting blade
3. Electrical tape for masking (any other masking tape will do)
4. a steady hand
First start by masking all the sticky plastic areas, the dremel will be shooting around nasty little plastic pieces, and i'm sure you don't want this stuff stuck to your kit for life.
The cuts will take place on these lines.
After it's cut peel all the excess off, since it's all burned surface.
Continue to sand it down with the not so cutting side of the blade (the top part of the blade, not the sides) and sand it smooth.
Peel off any excess, and rescrew the holes, no need to drill them, when sanding, you covered up the original holes with some melted plastic, it's very thin and very easy to break through.
Looks very clean, and well done, and this fits VERY well, almost like OEM, it is a little tight on one of the sides, due to it hitting against one of left stands, cause it's just the way the kit is.
This was repackaged, for anyone wanting to buy a properly cut piece. I'll install this for who ever lives near me =D
This is i think why i purchased 2 of the boxes... I'm still looking through my notes and I think i had a good reason for buying two back in April...
