Thank you for this video! You/it just saved me $200+ on having a shop install this for me instead of doing it myself. Extra thanks for telling us what product on amazon you used to replace the oems with.

Thank you Dave! I appreciate you for telling us how much the shop was going to charge you. If someone else prefers a shop do the work, at least they can get a rough estimate of what others are being charged. #DriveSafe

So easy, with your tips! (Clips would have been a pitfall, otherwise.)

Thanks for the video, changed mine in about 5 minutes after watching this video. Took me longer to find something to hold the tailgate.

Great video dude and love your garage.

@HondaFit4Adventure 8 ай бұрын

Thank You Stefano! I filmed the entire process of redoing my garage, but then lost the footage. It was a sad day, lol.

@StefanoLandi 8 ай бұрын

@@HondaFit4Adventure Ah man! That is sad! Well maybe you could give a small tour in a video. In any case, I followed your instructions to the letter and changed the supports on my wife's 2017 Fit in 6 minutes or something. 🙂

@@StefanoLandi I will definitely work on a garage tour video. I just need to get the back half of the garage cleaned up. That's the side where everything gets tossed to before filming. Awesome! These are the best types of comments!

still waiting for your sway bar installation, just ordered mine just now, i know it's an easy mod but would still love to see you do it

@HondaFit4Adventure 11 ай бұрын

Thank you, I appreciate it. I've been trying to get some before and after footage at the local Auto-Cross track before completing the video. Ramps & Jacks are helpful and You'll need a torque wrench. Here's the Progress install guide incase you need it. www.progressauto.com/ecom/download/62.1063.pdf

@jackhole6 6 ай бұрын

Thank you. One question - should the support lifts be able to telescope in and out before installation? I just got a pair and they do not move no matter how much pressure I apply to them.

@HondaFit4Adventure 6 ай бұрын

No, you will not be able to push the shock support back in on your own. I'm not exactly sure, but I think it takes around 100lbs of force for the shock to go back in.

@eFloSys 11 ай бұрын

Do you know if there is a turn signal indicator light kit for the side mirrors for this Fit's generation? ...That does not involve replacing the entire mirror. Because I have seen some products but they have smaller mirror glass.

@HondaFit4Adventure 6 ай бұрын

Sorry for the late response. I'm not aware of such a product. After some googling, I think what you're describing is going to a fairly universal product. You might have better FITment with one brand over another based on the size that they are available in.

@litigioussociety4249 8 ай бұрын

I've tried more than one brand, and they keep popping off when I try to shut the door. The supports just don't want to compress easily. I have no idea what I did wrong.

@HondaFit4Adventure 8 ай бұрын

So you got the struts on but its difficult to close the trunk, and when you do... the struts will pop off the ball joints? If the cup is pressed all the way down on the ball joint and the metal clips aren't missing, my next guess would be that the strut is upside down. I'm not sure if that would cause compression issues. Let me know if it's in the correct orientation.

@litigioussociety4249 8 ай бұрын

@@HondaFit4Adventure I tried it both ways. I'll just see if it loosens over time. I had one that worked okay, but then the ball cracked on it. Fortunately, I have a pole I use to prop open, and will probably have to keep doing that, because as I said, the locking up thing seems to happen every time like something in set wrong.
