No. You have to get all five right. I cannot tell you which ones you got wrong and which ones you got right.

If we did that, the last guy will win by getting the last one the others did not get. I think most people by now have a vague idea which ones are correct.

If it drags on, I will drop a hint or say which ones are correct.



ah, what the hell................... number four is correct. It is found on the door after you take the skin off. The front right door (FR) to be exact. LOL.

hum... what jnesselroad said seems pretty close, it looks like a "wire loom"... or if you want a corrugated pipe. if you're looking for a location, all I can do is guess, since I don't have a Fit (sigh)

based on the water spots on it, it has to be something typically exposed outside rather than the interior of the car.

A) engine compartment
b) between the doors and the body where wires for power locks and power windows (and speakers) go
c) between the hatch and body, for the taillight or hatch lock.

my guess, based on those three... C. the wires that run between the body and hatch. perhaps the one on the side which should be for the hatch lock.

edit: everybody "sees" it when your open your hatch (same for the door).

Some good guesses, but no cigar. Another hint. It is not found in the engine compartment.

Funny thing is, it's really not that well hidden. We just overlook it.

Wow, didn't think of that. It would be almost unnoticeable if white. Like a white car in snow.

I'm gonna guess that it's the hinge on the gas filler flap.

Ding, ding, ding.............. we have a winner.


I will give you rep points. Unfortunately, they won't show up, according to others, until you have 50 posts under your belt.


Congratulations. You figured it out despite the fuzzy, weird angle of the pic.

And I don't get any recognition? Next time I'll spoil it for everyone and blurt out the answer (not really).

I don't really care about rep points but I just feel like pointing out that there are people who participated in the "game" and they should get something. I say this all in the goal to get more and continued participation.

You're right. Perhaps I should give points and recognition to those who get each one correct. I don't know why I was obsessing over getting all 5 correct at once.

So, from now on one pic at a time.

See how that goes.


thanks for the input. Now all we need are prizes from sponsors, LOL.

the rubber nubs on the bottom edge of the rear hatch? (not the conical rubber stops, but the square plug looking pair)
