i need help honda guys , i just bought a vis cf hatch for my 99 honda civic hatch and the handle or key hole wont fit. plz Anyone with cf hatch on 96-up hatch help me out!!

 

hatches for the 96-98 are different from the 99-00. Did you buy one for a 96-98 on accident?

 

no sir i didnt , i bought one for 99-00 cuz it has the hole cut out for the handle but that **** is 2 small and where the license plate bulbs go are to big and nothing bolts up.

 

do any of yall got a cf hatch or know where i can get some instructions how i can do it? plz help out!!!!

 

small grinding bit on a dremel. just slowly and carefully widen the holes.

 

is there anything else i can do. cuz i dont kno if that will work.

 

aftermarket parts never fit like OEM.... there is always an adjustment or cutting needed to fit correctly

You don't know if making a hole that is too small bigger will work?



That's like saying "I don't know if opening the fridge door will let me get to the contents."

 

naw man i dont mean that lol , the metal hook dont reach from the handle to where the key hole is made on the hatch.

 

Can you fab your own hook from some 1/8" steel (home depot ftw) and a blowtorch?
