Hey all,
I’m in the market for an RD1 CR-V, came across this one. Decent price, decent shape, decent mileage.
The only thing that is giving me a red flag is the circled portion in the photo. Is that something to worry about? What exactly am I looking at? Looks like the box is just hanging.
It’s supposed to be attached to that bracket to its upper right.

Should I be worried that it’s not attached? Or is it something that can be popped off say to clean the bay like it seems this owner did?

IIRC, it just snaps on, unless the tab on the box is damaged.

Thank you!
@Nuri
Mud slides out now and then; I just slide it back onto the bracket. With vibration, they slowly work themselves loose over time; they’re not exactly secured on very well.
It is the vacuum air tank. Has tabs on the side that just slide it into place. Super convenient to remove/set. Removing it makes access to those driver damper bolts convenient for example.

Awesome! I didn’t know what to google to figure out what it was. All my keywords kept resulting in the fuse box 
.
@Nuri
My pleasure!

Hopefully, this link works. Recorded a quick video showing it (and a close-up pic of the tank).
Imgur wasn’t working for me for some reason.
@Fenix
That’s actually really helpful. Thanks!
Should check if it’s been in an accident and repaired.

Yeah, I think that’s my biggest worry. He has the plates blacked out in his photos so I can’t run a Carfax.

Ask for VIN. Typically, you can see the VIN inside driver side windshield at the bottom where inspection tags are located on the outside.
@Florian
Yeah, I have my buddy contacting him for that since he’ll be the one picking it up for me if it’s good.
