Two randumb car questions
-
Someone's vehicle title was just sent to my mailbox. The address is actually my address but I don't know the person whose name is on the title. What should I do with it?
I also need a particular plastic door clip that doesn't seem to have any generic equivalents available. Honda 91561-SM4-013ZA. Any good ideas for getting one, besides online Honda parts sites? Shipping would cost multiples of the part itself.
-
@ricerocketeer 1st one: call the DMV?
2rd: can you get one from a pick and pull?
-
Agree for 1: Call the DMV or title office
2: If you can't get one second-hand, you should be able to get it through a dealer.
-
@ricerocketeer how much for the Honda clip from a dealer?
Send the title back to whoever sent it, write in the envelope “return to sender- not known at this address” the just drop it in a mailbox
-
@pip-bip It's usually something like 5 bucks, then 15 for tax and shipping.
-
@RiceRocketeer Have you tried this site?

https://www.clipsandfasteners.com/default.asp is probably the go-to source. Another option would be to visit the fastener cabinets at a better parts house like a Napa. There is likely to be a generic clip that is close enough in size and shape to work. A local body shop is also likely to have a bunch of these or a generic equivalents around. A few bucks in cash would probably get you one.

third alternate - I just googled the p/n you listed and a bunch of ebay options appeared. If you are willing to take the risk, $3/10pk plus $3 S&H doesn't seem like piracy.
-
I will pay you the princely sum of one dollar and thirty seven cents for this mystery title
-
@jayvincent Oh? Searching eBay directly yields no results, and google just gives me the dealer parts sites.
-
@atfsgeoff not settling for anything short of two whole American dollars. I know what I have!
( ... no, I don't, actually)
-
@ricerocketeer Two friggin dollars?? Oh man, too rich for my blood
-
@ricerocketeer pick it up at the dealer bugger postage. unless you are a long way from your nearest dealer?

@ricerocketeer let's see if this works, here's the link:

@jayvincent hm the part number on that auction doesn't quite match the one I'm looking for. Appreciate the effort though.

Guess I shouldn't be surprised since the cars that use it aren't that prevalent, and the last one came off the line in 2011.
