| I know there's been some discussion re: roof racks for the Fit (thanks drknife, johnnyb11, lynivere)... called a local roof rack company and there is nothing set up yet for the Fit. They quoted that they can do a custom Thule rack and mounts for appro $700 Cdn. Seems expensive to me. I will contact Honda Canada to see if there's anything coming out for the Fit. I've also read in this Forum that the max weight capacity for the Fit roof seems to be about 100 lbs. Is this right? Does anyone have any updated info? Like lynivere, I'm not keen to drill holes into my precious Fit. I'm wanting to install roof rack for kayaking. Appreciate any tips... | |

Replying to: fitcanuck (Jul 14, 2006 9:24 pm) I'm located in Kingston, Ontario & just installed a Thule roof rack, specially designed for the Honda Fit. Thule parts needed are: Kit 1312 Footpack 750 & 120 cm load bars (i bought their 761 'square bars' although their 'aero bar' option = Thule 861 bars, will also work) I was quite frustrated trying to purchase a Thule (or any) roof rack for my Honda fit. Our local Honda dealer was useless in this regard. So I bought the aforementioned parts from a Thule Retailer located in the U.K. The Installation instructions that came with the Kit 1312 (contains the clips) said the parts were specifically designed for either the Honda Jazz (U.K. version of Honda Fit) OR Honda Fit. So its weird that Thule in North America has no idea if & when roof rack for Honda Fit will be available. Anyways the rack was easy to install, looks great and now we can carry our bikes or kayaks with ease. the shop in the U.K. I dealt with is: Roof Rack Shop UK 9 Brewster Square Brucefield Industrial Estate Livingston West Lothian EH54 9BJ Tel: 01506 418218 Fax: 01506 418123 www.roofrackshop.com The Roof Rack shop was very helpful processing the order; quickly responded to all my emails etc... total cost for the parts I ordered was about 90 pounds, but then I had to pay about another 90 or so pounds for shipping. whatever... I desperately needed the rack and am quite pleased to finally have one for our honda fit that works with our existing Thule rack attachments (= fork mount bike attachments, kayak ,& skiis).\\hope this helps.

I decided to order a non-folding leather topped armrest with cupholder for the Honda Fit we have coming. I found two sources for the same armrest. The first is maxdax in Singapore. They quoted me a price of US$36 + US$39 shipping. The second is an eBay store called HK-Plus in Hong Kong. Their current auction lists the armrest for $34 + $35 shipping. Since their price was lower, I decided to give HK-Plus a try. I put in an order earlier today. Once it arrives and I have installed it, I will provide feedback on the vendor and the armrest. |
