i just bought my sport fit a month ago and i just noticed a white elastic string hanging out of the drivers side door at the bottom. before i go to the dealership has anyone else had this happen to them and if so what did they do about it?

 

where is the string coming from? could just be placed there from a tag or random piece of garbage....

 

the very thin white elastic thread comes out the bottom between the door frame and the door panel. its length is about 6 inches and frayed at the end with no give when tugged.

 

Its normal, just cut it. I had that too.

 

Had it too, didn't know what it was and cut it off.
I think it's the umbilical cord

 

i found mine when i took my door panel off, it was around the door clip.im gussing it was a tag that thay just tore off

 

i had the exact same thing.

i cut it off... and it disabled the transmission.

:rimshot:

no seriously.... i had the string too.... i even started a thread asking the same exact question.

 

that's where the price tag and size was on mine...

 

Yeah, it's from when they had the plastic covering the fabric on the doors and on the door frame on the car. Mine still had the plastic and elastic string when I took it home (it was too late to detail) and brought it back in monday for them to wash and detail.

 

I've got that too.. on a base.

 

 

It's just the plastic wrap they have to take off on all brand new cars.

Those are just leftovers. Cut it and forget it.

I had this just the other day. I was parked in a parking lot and went to the passenger side to open the front door and was horrified to see this rather long white streak across the door. I though for sure somebody keyed the car, but then I just pulled it off like silly string. It was quite a long thread! Man, I was relieved! But I didn't know what could have caused it- until now. Cool. That string was hiding for quite some time and why it made an appearence all over my door still remains odd.
