I noticed that the Fit doesn't appear to have a cargo cover to fit between the rear seat and the rear door. Does one exist? Is one coming?

 

Yes, you can order online, it's like $188.00- benardiparts.com I believe is your best deal,

Most Honda OEM accessories are available for the 15 FIT...you just have to google a little

 

The Honda website definitely included a cargo cover among the accessories in the Build Your 2015 Fit feature several weeks ago. Now it is not part of that list ???????


I suspect that they are having assembly/ quality control/ rail transportation/ rework issues ... Let us hope that the covers did not have unintended acceleration problems. ...... Perhaps the only problem that delayed the 2015 Fit release to the USA, was the cargo covers in the first place....


(tongue firmly planted in cheek)......


I was told by a west coast dealer today, that the only cargo covers were in one of Honda's eastern warehouses at present. Whatever the issue, I am certain Honda will resolve it....

 

Fellows, XStitchX posted his OEM CARGO COVER installed on his new PBP GK. Pic is on the "What Mods........" thread. Post #112. Very nice and looks like it should have been a standard item.

 

Rottboy is on it, as usual! I got mine from Bernardi Honda. If you have questions, or would like more pics, just let me know!

Here is a pic of the cargo cover installed:



From the backseat view:

 

Nice pics of the cover stitch!

 

I will add that to my list..looks great

 

If you order one from Bernardi make sure you get the clips too. They are separate items. I made the mistake of not doing so and had to pick them up locally from a dealer (didn't want to pay $15 shipping on a $2 part).

 

These are the clips you need:



You need two. One for each side. They clip on here, in the indented spot:

 

My 2015 FIT EX (6 spd MANUAL; silver) came with the cargo mat installed as a Dealer 'profit enhancer'. Both MANUALS I test drove here in Atlanta had several over-priced items already installed (splash guards; cargo mt) or listed but not installed (pin striping). Quite annoying but I have seen Dealers do this in the past with "hot" cars.

I've had mine a week. The armrest has not been a big deal. Just got back from a 700 mile road trip. Car was fun to drive and I am very pleased overall. I got 48 mpg highway and have avg'd 40 mpg since I got it.

 

Wow! Great mileage and report...I agree on the armrest thing...no issues here.
I also agree it's a fun car to drive! Enjoy!

 

With that kind of mileage results, I'd be doing cartwheels!!! Good show!!!

Congrats on your new EX M/T. Care to share some pics??? Welcome to this great forum!!!

 

The cargo cover is the only part of my silver 2015 EX CVT that I am disappointed with. I had to go back to the dealer because they didn't have it in stock at delivery, and then had to go back a second time because they didn't have the clips. It's thin, cheap and I don't think the plastic hinge things will last. And it's absurdly expensive. Get good-quality mats, then keep the original carpet mats and and throw them over anything you want to hide in the hatch. I like the cargo tray. Will take a quick cleaning with the hose after trips to the landscape nursery. Keep the original carpet mats in the car, too, so you can throw them under the tires if you get stuck in the snow, which happens here in Ohio. I am cracking 50 mpg on the highway and 40 in town. My Fit is my first new car in 20 years so I have been like a little kid on Christmas morning. Almost 650 miles so far and still on my second tank.

 

I'm wondering if you got a different cover than mine. I do agree that the cargo cover is pricey, but I would not say that it is cheaply made. What are the plastic hinge things to which you refer? I'm just curious. It stinks that you're not happy with your purchase. You should be able to return it, I would think.

Mine just sits on the plastic pegs in the cargo area, and then the straps hook onto two metal hooks on the hatch door (in my pics above).

 

"If you order one from Bernardi make sure you get the clips too. They are separate items. I made the mistake of not doing so and had to pick them up locally from a dealer (didn't want to pay $15 shipping on a $2 part)."


I've run into this a dozen times since we've moved. Why on earth do sellers do this? Is the intention that they want us to hate them? if so, it works.


They don't even refer to the clips on that site, so you just have to know it out of the ether...thanks, but no thanks.

 

Bernardi's website does show that you need the clips. That is how I knew to add them to my order:

 

I probably missed that in my rush to order.

 

I'll give you that it's not that noticeable if you're in a rush

However, to be fair to Bernardi, it is there. I do think they should just be included in the purchase and not a separate part. No one expects that. Heck, I think the cargo cover should be standard on the car!

 

Totally agree on all counts.

 

Does the cargo cover provide any advantage other than hiding what is beneath it? If not, I'd prefer to just take the $190, and use it on tint, and not have the cover to contend with when I carry something larger!
