washer nozzles and cargo cover

Can anyone advise me on the best way to adjust the angle of the front washer nozzles on a 2011 Fit?
I'm also looking for feedback on the cargo cover. Is it worth it, and, can it be installed without cutting?
Thanks!

I'm glad I bought the cargo cover because I keep stuff in the hatch that I don't want visible.

No cutting involved, from what I remember. Takes a little time to understand how to install it- you have to put screws through the back of the back seat but in order to find the place to put the screws you have to take a pin and push it in various places to find something that's plastic. Hard to explain but it takes a couple of minutes.

I've been waiting for the opportunity to show off my nozzle.

It looks like a pair of fine needle nose pliers will let you grasp the thing and swivel it where you want it. Please be gentle.



Dramatic lighting, huh?

The 2009-2011 version of the cargo cover had the flaps which snapped to the back of the back seats. The 2012-2013 do not. The reason for the flaps was to cover the ~3" gap that is between the top of the back seat and the cargo cover. You might wonder why Honda didn't just design the cover to meet flush with the top of the seat backs and eliminate the extra work of installing snaps, and then requiring that you unsnap the flaps every time you want to lay the seats flat? Well, the reason is that our back seats can actually recline about 3 inches. So Honda designed the flaps to keep the gap covered when the back seats are in their fully upright position. If you buy the 2012-2013 version of the cover, there are no flaps to deal with. The gap is covered by keeping the rear seats reclined. My recomendation is to buy the 2012-2013 version which fits all Fits from 2009 on.

+1

I bought the OEM cover and just keep the seats reclined so I never installed the rear flaps

The flaps aren't flat, they droop a bit so it's a nice place to leave an umbrella.

i got my rear windows tinted and use black cloth to conceal anything in the trunk as needed. can't see anything inside even with flash light.

i originally had the cargo cover in my 09, but sold it. it's a nice piece, but it just got in the way, and very clumsy when you have to move it to carry bigger things. heck, i bought the hatch for convenience. if i just needed a small trunk i would've just gotten a coupe.
