Know any Canadian Dealers who will ship to US?

Are there any Canadian Honda dealers sort of like our Bernardi Honda, or College Hills Honda....that will ship anywhere (plus maybe even a discount on the part? )

I want to get the spare tire compartment tray!
One or 2 other guys here want it also.

picture of it....

I'm sure someone in Canada will trade their tray and fix-a-flat for your spare tire and jack

I did see in the owner's manual that a Fix-A-Flat type product should never be used on tires equipped with TPMS since it will damage the sensors. Probably why the US version with TPMS comes with a spare while the Canadian version w/o TPMS comes with the tray and tire repair kit instead. My 2005 Honda Accord Hybrid came with the tray/tire repair kit (which I never used) but it provided better support for the trunkliner and shaved off a few pounds.

I would carry a tire repair kit, it's usually a nail, you pull it and plug it.
That foam crap would be an absolute last resort.

Yep, that's the plan. I have a repair kit and a foot pump; if you can plug the road tire, you're not stuck with that %@$%@%$#@%!#$!!!!!!! donut that reduces your speed and range.
Garages hate plugs; never could figure if there was a real issue, or they just can make more on patches. I plugged a couple myself which went 20k 'till the tire wore out.

Is there a part number for the Genuine Honda Fix-A-Flat? I wouldn't mind ditching my spare tire, and jack for some in my AT 2007 Honda Fit Sport.

Just remember, if u use the fix a flat, if you don't remove it from the tire. It isn't good for the rubber and can eat away at it giving you more issues down the road, plus tire shops hate that stuff.

It is my understanding that some fix-a-flat goo is actually explosive or otherwise is a danger to tire repair personnel.
Make darn sure you tell whoever fixes you tire that the stuff is in there.
I'm sure the shops don't like it.
I have a can in my bride's car in case she's stranded.

I used plugs to repaired few tires too. They all lasted for the life of the tire.

Here's an article about the Canadian 09 Fit repair kit:

CanadianDriver: Auto Tech - Honda's liquid spare tire

The Temporary Repair Kit consists of a container of sealer, a 12-volt compressor with pressure gauge, an extraction hose, extraction bottle and a guide book.

To use the kit, the container of sealant is connected to the tire with the included hose and the compressor is connected to the can of sealant. When the compressor is pumping, it forces the sealant into the tire and then pumps the tire up. The sealant flows to the source of the leak and seals the air leak.
So you need more than just a can of sealant.

I am just going to take out the spare and fill the space with a fiberglass sub enclosure. If I get a flat I can call Honda or State Farm.
