Check your seat bolts.

Had two loose on the passenger seat that I tightened up a while ago (had it out for cleaning). Then this weekend I had the rest of the seats (and just about everything else out) to run some wires. The driverside most bolt on the magic seat was in at maybe 4 or 5ftlbs and the front right bolt on the drivers seat was only finger tight, didn't even use a wrench on that one.

So check them out, I will be calling honda later to log a complaint.

This the first time you took them out to clean?

Yeah, I had my passenger seat out once before since I was trying to see if different seats would fit (never did that though). I don't have a lot of time to do things with a full time job so this was the first time I had the rest out. I was running wires under the carpet for my amp (cleaned too, since I was in there).

Called Honda and let them know. Wasting expecting anythign to be done and it wasn't. I will say the customer care reps are very nice and plestant to talk too though.

Also, I had never really looked at my vin before, but when I did I saw a bunch of zero's and a 12 at the end. Apparently I have the 12th fit made in 2011, since it was made in January. (Which may explain the loose bolts, since it would have been the day after new years. :P )
