ok i found my dash rattle my middle a/c vents have broken and are messed up anyone else had this problem? i'll try and get pics tomorrow its going back to the stealership monday man i hope they don't have to take out the dash. oh found another rattle too the peice that covers the drivers side seat belt popped off too.

 

update: well they said the dash has to come out to fix the vents

 

Do you know how they broke?

 

no not really but i took the vents out and the holder looks kinda like this -|- < the little nubs broke maybe bad plastic casting. man i hope they do a good job ive already tried gluing them back on but they won't hold.

 

If it is out of site I would try JB Weld or Gorilla Glue maybe?? Just trying to save you the $$$ at the dealership unless this is under warranty?

 

its still under warranty it only has 2,700 miles lol i don't drive much as i work at home. i tried the Gorilla Glue it wouldn't hold i might try another product i just don't want my dash taken out.

 

Lol I don't blame you. At least it is under warranty.

 

update: they fixed it and did a great job a tech came over and looked at it and said hell the dash doesn't need to come out. he took the radio out and replaced the a/c vent tube and replaced the vents so kudos's to west side honda.

 

I took my fit to the dealer today to fix some loose center vents which they fixed under warranty. When i got the car back there was blood everywhere, one vent was crooked, the recirculate switch didn't work, the vent selector switch didn't work, and there were horrible scratches and gouges everywhere!!! (I'm so ANGRY!!!!!!) Did they expect me to just drive off happy and content after they abused and defaced my car??? What the hell has happened to all the knowledgeable technicians? Don't they have technical orders anymore? They told me they had to take apart the dash in order to replace two simple little vents. They ended up destroying my car. The problem was simple: center vents on a 2008 fit were not adjustable when the temp in the car was above 90 degrees Farenheit, they simply limped loose until the running A/C tightened them up again. I left the car there as I was told that they would replace the dash and make it all right again. I will post what they end up doing.

 

Whoa what was the blood from?? Did OJ fix your car??

 

jeez fitmonster, crazy story...hopefully the dealer fixes that. what dealer was it anyway? might wanna give warning for any fitfreaks in your area.

 

Holy cow, BLOOD?? Yikes.

BTW my vents do that too. Turn the car on after sitting in the sun, turn the fan up and WHAP they go to one side or the other, and will continue to do so for 10 minutes. The plastic clip expands too much to hold it.

 

The technician fixing the vents must have gotten cut while he was trying to figure out how to dismantle the dash instead of looking at the technical manual. It was at GARY SMITH HONDA in Fort Walton Beach, FL. They said they would have the used car guy come and look at it on Monday to see if he can fix the scratches and gouges, but I doubt he can. If he gives me an ounce of hesitation, they will be told to order a new dash. I will try to post pics if I can figure it out. BTW one of the vents is still crooked after installation. So I guess I should have just lived with the fact that the vents get loose under high heat instead of letting all those monkeys get their grips on my car and beat the dash with bananas until it came apart!!

 

 

Horrible scrapes on left side

 

 

 

BUTCHER!
Make em replace it. The surface of the Fit dash is easy to scratch so that does suck. Those vents look horrible with that small chunk missing.
