Tamed the Cargo Cover Crash

I'm not sure if other '15 Fits do this, but on mine it was consistent and annoying.

If you hear your cargo cover falling into place when the hatch is opened, this is for you.

Materials needed: 2 drinking straws
Tools needed: 2 hands

What to do:

Untie the knot at the cord's end, below the cargo cover.
Pull the cord up through the cover.
Insert the cord's end through a straw, back down through the cover, and re-tie the knot.

38 sec. YouTube vid. shows the result:

Bought some carbon fiber mirror caps for eighty buck. Finally got them a month later and they don't fit. Arg! Ordered them from Aliexpress. The quality was terrible. The carbon fiber was flimsy.

Smeared peanut butter on all of my black trim/plastics lol.

I applied Nu Finish to the car about a week ago and was not aware that you should not get it on the trim and textured plastic pieces such as the grill. This left a really nasty, ugly haze. After trying to clean it multiple times I turned to Google for my answer, which is to rub in peanut butter, scrub with a toothbrush, then wipe away. I honestly thought it was somebody trolling when I read that but tried it anyway and it actually worked amazingly! Followed that with a car wash and it looks like new again.

So if this ever happens to you, look no further than your pantry for a solution.

Added a touch switch for my ambient lights on Saturday. Had to trim a little bit of the plastic guard on it to get it to fit in there correctly.

Blue is on, Red is off.

Added the Cargo Cover to my LX. A little pricey but worth it. Once you tilt the rear seats back it fits really well.

Really should be a standard feature.

Hey, I thought that our brake lights, usdm and jdm brake lights were a straight plug and play.

Where the upper tail lights a direct plug and play or did you have to do some custom work?

I had to make an existing hole bigger to be able to shove the connector in inside, then just tap the 3 wires to 1. 3rd brake light 2. License plate light 3. Ground. Took me about 1 1/2 hours since u need to remove part of the spoiler.

I know what Switchbacks are, I was asking what specific product you used for it?
