  • Evo Clamp Feet Placement for Thule Roof Rack Installation on a 2017 Honda Civic Sedan

  • Why Does Bumper Beam of 2019 Honda Civic Need to be Trimmed to Install Curt Trailer Hitch
  • Since the Curt hitch part # C92UR for your 2019 Honda Civic fits between the bumper beam and the rear frame area of your vehicle it adds a bit of length to the bumper beam assembly. By that I mean the bumper beam sticks out further due to the bracket width of the hitch. So, a corner of the bracket has to be taken off so that the bumper cover can fit over the beam without interference. I have attached the installation instructions and a video of the install for you to see the installation...

  • Installation for 2017 Honda Civic Thule Roof Rack
  • This distance will be determined by the specific manufacturer and bar kit that you purchased for your 2017 Honda Civic Hatchback. In general, its easier to complete installation of the front bar set first, then proceed to the rear set. For both the Square and WingBars, you will want to install the front fit pack at 10-7/8 inches behind the windshield. Then, you will want the second set of fit kit parts to be at 26 inches behind the center of the first set. I've included the diagram...

  • Tips for Routing a Trailer Wiring Harness Power Wire on a 2015 Honda Civic
  • The rear seats in your 2015 Honda Civic likely fold down so I would route the wiring harness power wire up behind the left rear seat then tuck it beneath any paneling/trim, under the threshold plate at the floor of the doorway, behind the trim of the B-pillar between the front and rear seats, under the front door threshold, behind the driver's side kick panel, and through the firewall into the engine compartment. To keep the wire hidden it will likely have to take a lot of twists and turns...

  • Installation Details for Curt Class I Hitch # C11204 on 2005 Honda Civic 4 door
  • You are correct, the spacer block and bolt will need to be fished through the frame. I have linked you to a video that explains this technique. If you need to lower the exhaust a bit in order to access the mounting holes, I have linked you to a video showing how this is done. Simply spray the rubber isolator and mounts with a spray lubricant like WD-40 and slide the mount out of the isolator. I have also linked you to the hitch installation instructions, as well as to an FAQ article...

  • Manual Replacement Mirrors for 2002 Honda Civic DX Sedan
  • The K-Source Replacement Side Mirror - Manual Remote - Black - Driver Side # KS63552H and the K-Source Replacement Side Mirror - Manual Remote - Black - Passenger Side # KS63551H(Passenger Side) are not electric so your 2002 Honda Civic DX Sedan may have a manual control stick inside the car that will allow you to adjust the mirror face. This is what you would need in order to adjust the face as opposed to a button, which I am assuming is for electric mirrors.

  • Do You Need to Re-Install an Underbody Panel When Installing Curt Hitch # C11391 on 2013 Honda Civic
  • There are a couple of reasons why the video of the 2013 Acura did not show the re-installation of the base body panel. First, the customer may not have wanted it re-installed and secondly, the installers may have trimmed it up and re-installed, however chose not to include that section in the video. In the installation directions for Curt hitch # C11391, listed under the installation directions, step # 6 states to re-attach trimmed underbody panel using existing fasteners.

  • Will Blue Ox Base Plate for 2021 Honda Civic Cause Cooling Issues
  • Sometimes there are pieces of the vehicle that get left off when installing a base plate kit like the # BX2265 just due to fact they occupy space on the front of the vehicle where space is tight. What we've found with this base plate kit is that there is no effect on cooling power with the shielding removed.
