How to Solve the Large Bumper Gap on Honda Fit?
2 Answers
Honda Fit's large bumper gap is caused by natural settling. Below is relevant information about the Honda Fit: Honda Fit's configuration: The wheelbase is 2530mm, and the interior space design is quite good. It is powered by a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, compliant with China VI emission standards, delivering a maximum power output of 131 horsepower. The transmission system is matched with a CVT gearbox, ensuring stable power output. Side design: The car's side design is relatively simple, with straight waistlines making it more rugged. The through-type door handle design adds a sporty touch, while the lines at the bottom of the door are more pronounced. The window design is very grand, and the petal-style wheel hubs enhance its aesthetic appeal. The roof rack design on the engine hood adds a sporty feel. The rear design is more rounded, with the smoked rear window treatment adding a premium texture. The smoked design is quite upscale, and the rear bumper design is more robust.
I've been driving this Fit for five years, and the bumper gap has gotten larger. At first, I thought it was due to an accident, but later realized it's caused by long-term bumps and plastic aging/deformation. When the clips loosen, it becomes prone to shaking, and thermal expansion/contraction also makes the gap fluctuate. DIY adjustment isn't actually difficult—first remove the bumper to inspect the clips, replacing broken ones with OEM parts bought from Taobao. During installation, align with the positioning pins and press slowly; don't overtighten the screws or it may deform. It's best to work with two people: one holds the bumper while the other tightens the screws. After finishing, use a heat gun to warm the plastic edges for better seam fit. If DIY isn't feasible, visit a dealership—they have specialized tools to adjust gap clearance. Avoid parking in direct sunlight to slow plastic aging.
