[HCV 18] Honda Clarity Tip – Cup Holder Stuck on some bottles – Just TILT it!

HCV -Honda Clarity Tip – Cup Holder Stuck on some bottles – Just TILT it!
So I really dislike the cup holders on the 2018 Honda Clarity because it gets caught while pulling water bottles with wider bottoms upward. After my A012 service (oil change, air filter change, tire rotation) i decided to try to figure out how to solve this. I had just received a Hydro Flask 20 OZ Wide mouth ( https://amzn.to/2S1K8xZ ) and wanted to use it. It gets caught. So naturally i removed the bottom anti-slip boot from the bottle . Then I tried just tilting the bottle towards the cup holder spring and it released it without getting caught.

Anyhoo… Honda A012 service is all complete.

I have just completed a A012 service on my 2018 Honda Clarity. It took me about 1 hour of work and saved me time and money from going to a dealership.
For the A012 Service i needed to service or replace the following:

  1. Change the Oil and Oil Filter:
  2. Change the Honda Clarity engine air filter.
  3. Change the Honda Clarity In cabin Air filter: ( https://amzn.to/37V9cgl )
  4. Rotate Tires
  5. Check the fluid levels and check the chassis for any issues

How to reset the Honda Maintenance Minder or Service Due notice :

  1. Go to the center infotainment screen
  2. Settings.
  3. Vehicle Settings.
  4. Maintenance Minder Information.
  5. Reset All.
  6. Confirm.

Tire Rotation – I brought my Honda to my local garage to have the tires rotated. Remember to have the TPMS reset after you rotate your tires other wise it will show an error. I believe its due to the positioning and distance of the tires from the radio sensors.. i dunno.
Here is the link for the reset procedure:

[HVC16] Scratches on my Honda Clarity Touch Screen! Adding a Screen Protector!

I discovered I have scratches on my Honda Clarity Infotainment center touch screen. So I have added a custom cut RUIYA screen protector ( https://amzn.to/3a9y6uE ) which i bought from Amazon for 2 for $9 or so. This is a hard plastic sheet and not tempered glass.

Btw, my Youtube vlogs and reviews may also have associated affiliate links to products that may earn from qualifying purchases.

I never had scratches on my touch screens before with my Chevy Volt or any of my other cars, so this was surprising to find scratches. I use a high quality car Costco microfiber cloth ( https://amzn.to/3a8oUXy ) to clean my fingerprints from the screen, however dont think it was the cloth. I normally wipe horizontally. The scratches were vertical and only on spots were my fingers slid to change the audio navigation. I suspect it caused by my finger nails.

The RUIYA screen protector ( https://amzn.to/3a9y6uE ) kit came with 2 screens, two install kits, and a hard plastic card for pushing bubbles. I followed the instructions cleaned with the alcohol wipes, then the mini microfiber, then picked off the any lint or dust with the two anti dust stickers. To apply the screen the instructions on the release tabs are wrong. Start with tab “1” to release the adhesive side. Apply to screen, aligning the screen protector to the top of your center screen. Then slowly place the screen protector on from on corner to the diagonally to the other corner to avoid any bubbles. I had 2 faint bubbles on my screen after applying it. I used the plastic card and my fingers to push it off the edge but it stated. The two faint bubble disappeared after 24 hours or so.

Overall I am satisfied with the screen protector, and i will do a long term review in 6 to 12 months.
