Seat bolt caps - covers from 2015 Fit fit 2018 Fit

I’ve mentioned the seat bolt covers in a previous, mostly unrelated, thread. I ordered some from Honda and they fit just as one would expect, perfect. My 2015 had a more finished look and didn’t hold crumbs and stuff quite as badly as my 2018. Now I need to vacuum this car!

Pics pretty much tell tell the story.

It's the little things. Probably silly to most, but I like it with the covers as well. Nice job!

Exactly how I feel about it! LOL

Based on the Honda dealer parts guy, I think 2015 was the only year his system said they were available from the factory. I think the Honda Parts Now website also agrees with the dealer I visited. If there is no number next to the part, then it is not technically available for the model you have on the screen.

I have them on my 2016.
Cannot believe they deleted them from 2018 MY.
I guess it was either those or the volume knob.

Yup, Honda had to delete some things to pay for the upgrades on the ‘18. They figured most wouldn’t miss the seat bolt caps. I wonder what else is missing.

This is a previous thread where I found out the LX and Sport drivers get one more panel under the car and it does not seem to be CVT or 6MT related. https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/3rd-...ml#post1408791

Something I have not searched for but I think was added... I think the newer cars have a tie-down anchor point built into the the back seats. I don't remember it on my 15'

My ‘15 Fit has tie down points on the back seat backs.

Thanks for this thread. My 2017 EX didn't have the bolt caps either.

Nor does it have the middle(?) underbody panel. I have the infamous one under the engine, and the massive one that covers most of the rear undercarriage. But not the 'H' shaped one referenced. Did anybody find a part number for that one?

As for rear anchors, all cars have the LATCH tethers in the center of the back seats. Lower cargo anchors/tie downs at the base of the rear seats, I believe are optional on the LX, but came standard on my EX. At least in 2017. I don't know if anything changed with the facelift.

These?

Without, notice the outer corner toward the door.

Cycling, they are there. You just can't see them. Note the silver circle above each LATCH point? Those are the indicators of location.

Thanks for the part number.

Regarding the anchors/tie-downs, I thought people were wondering about the cargo tie-downs behind the rear seats. What you have pictured are the LATCH anchors, which have been required on cars since 2002.

I was curious if something snuck by me. Thanks!

Yes the 2015 have the LATCH attachments on the outside seats. I've used them for a car seat.

Car seat in GK5
