DIY: Removing Rubber Odor from Spare Tire , Rubber Mats, or Rubber Stuff!

I have a 2018 Honda Clarity and 2017 Chevy Volt which I bought spare tires for. I hate the rubber odor from the compact tires, as i have the tires surface mounted in my trunk. I tried a few methods to lower or remove the smell from the trunk. See steps taken below or on the video.

Steps I took to remove the rubber smell from my car:

  1. Use baking soda ( https://amzn.to/32VPorO ) to absorb order in trunk.
  2. Vacuum trunk after using baking soda
  3. Wash rubber tire / mat with dish washing liquid ( https://amzn.to/2ye0WbJ ) and rinse
  4. Soak rubber tire / mat with white vinegar ( https://amzn.to/2Mh0GAZ) . Solution Mixture 1 cup per gallon of water . I used my shower stall, by plugging the drain, and pouring about 5 gallons of the solution in to the stall. I soaked each side of the tire in the stall solution for about 3-4 hours on each side.
  5. Wash off and rinse the vinegar with dish washing liquid and rinse.
  6. Place the tire in sunlight area for 1 day. Expose the other side for a 1 day in the sun.
  7. DONE. Replace the rubber tire or mat back into the trunk.

$2,200 HONDA WINDSHIELD CRACK – 2 WEEK BackOrder, REPAIR and CALIBRATION !!!

So a my 2018 had a rock hit the edge of the windshield. Over night the crack grew from one inch to across my windshield to the passenger side. That small crack cost about 2 weeks of driving another car due to a nationwide backorder in Honda windshields and about a total of $2,200 to repair!

Apparently with Honda Sensing and other car safety assist systems with radar and cameras mounted behind the windshield, it requires original Honda glass and Honda dealer calibration after the new glass install. Some glass installers are able to calibrate the camera to new glass but they needed the programming and patterns. According to my auto glass installer and my Honda dealer, the windshield was back-ordered nationwide for Honda Clarity and Accords. I had to drive my other car for about 2 weeks for the parts to arrive. /

Both qoute replacement costs to be about $1500-1700 for the glass and materials, $250 for install, and $250+ for calibration… WOW so its about $2,200 for a new windshield! That was one expensive windshield. I removed my dash cam system and made a quick DIY on how to remove dash came mount ( https://youtu.be/TkvI8Zla6Us ) .

Many new cars have these camera and radar systems installed for safety systems. With this in mind, I hope glass specific to these safety camera systems come down in price in production and installation costs. Imagine a budget Civic or Corollla having to pay a hefty $2000 windshield repair bill…. YIKES!

EASY DIY: Replacing Honda Fender Liner Clips! 7.4 mm Nylon Rivets Needed!

My 2007 Honda Accord fender liners falling off and were making a gap.
It was missing 8 fender liner clips. I wanted to fix this before the liners fall off.My Youtube vlogs may have associated affiliate links to products that I may earn from qualifying purchases.

Not sure if they were missing when I bought the car, but I went ahead and ordered a box of assorted nylon push fasteners and rivets: https://amzn.to/2H1KDUz – they were about $17 dollars or so a whole box of push rivets and it came with trim tools. These were not Honda nylon rivets, as OEM has metal elements in the rivets. They seem a bit fragile but should work. I don’t know if they will last. I needed 7.5 mm rivets for the fender liner. The package had 20 of them. It would have cost about $2 or per rivet at the dealer… 🙁
It only took about 6 minutes but it beats the liner falling off on the road!

For my 2007 Honda Accord, I don’t drive it as much due to my other hybrid vehicles. I keep the battery charged and maintained with a Battery Tender 3 amp ( https://amzn.to/2Lp1CUZ ). I charge it every month, as I want to keep the 12 volt battery from dying.
