Honda Element dog window upgrade with dog inside

Jim & Milo

On our first, long distance, camping trip up in Washington State, Milo was hot and miserable from lack of airflow to the back of the E.  It was over 90 degrees and the A/C was not keeping up.  Hell hath no fury like a hot Alaskan Malamute who can’t get a cool breeze in his face in 90 degree heat.  It was a miserable trip with an incredibly vocal and displeased Malamute. 

So once home I set out to find a replacement for that third door window.  To my surprise there were no alternatives.  Being a dedicated dog owner and problem solver, I set out to design a window that would be super easy to pop out, super fast to re-install, and easy to use for increased airflow.  It needed to match the look as well as have a way to lock, and store away.

After some trial and error, I finalized the design of the window.  Each Dog E Window is hand crafted from 3/16 Polycarbonate.   I found it doesn’t really create much more wind noise, as I have tested it on i-90, over the Columbia River Bridge (on a windy day… is there any other? ), and down country roads.  Even with Milo sticking his giant head out, additional wind noise is minimal.  Most importantly Milo was super happy and having him ride along was fun again.  Now, even when camping, the increased airflow is 100% better on hot days.  

Each window is available in passenger side or driver’s side, or as a set.  They work with or without rain guards and on any Honda Element.  

After crafting each window for the client I place it on my Element to be 100% sure of fit and workmanship.  I include a storage bag, with every order.   Each window has 5, keyed, locks and extra keys, and pop rivets to pop back into the holes left behind from the window lever.  In addition, all windows come in Dark Smoke Tint to match the dark tint of the back window of the E.  

I have made install videos on You Tube as well.

Center Dash Armor™ – Full Kit

Complete Restoration for Cracked 2007–2011 Honda Element Center Dash Panels

Cracked center dash? Missing chunks? Faded, brittle plastic?

The Center Dash Armor™ Full Kit is a complete, form-fit restoration system designed to repair, reinforce, and restore your Honda Element’s center stack — without hunting down rare OEM parts.

This is the full solution for doing it right the first time.


🔧 What It Does

The Full Kit restores your center dash using a two-part system:

  • A top Dash Skin™ for a clean, finished appearance
  • An underlay that reinforces and supports the damaged structure from underneath

Together, they:

  • Cover cracks, missing chunks, and worn areas
  • Reinforce weak or failing plastic
  • Restore a clean, uniform look across the entire panel

⚙️ How It Installs (Form-Fit System)

This is not a snap-in replacement part.

Center Dash Armor™ uses a form-fit thermoplastic design, allowing it to adapt to your specific dash — even if it’s cracked, uneven, or missing material.

  • The pieces are intentionally not fully contoured out of the box
  • Use a hair dryer or heat gun to gently warm the material
  • Once warmed, it becomes flexible and can be shaped to match your dash
  • As it cools, it retains that shape for a secure, custom fit

👉 This allows the system to work across a wide range of real-world damage conditions


🧠 A System That Adapts to Your Element

Every Element is different — and so is the damage.

This kit is designed to give you options:

  • Use the top piece only for cosmetic repair
  • Use the underlay only for structural support
  • Use both together for a full restoration

👉 Match the repair to your dash condition and your comfort level


🎨 Designed to Fit Your Style

Center Dash Armor™ isn’t just about fixing damage — it’s also an opportunity to upgrade your interior.

With over a dozen colors and finishes available, you can choose your look:

  • OEM-style finishes that blend in cleanly
  • Subtle accent colors
  • Rugged, overlanding-inspired textures and patterns

👉 Make it look factory… or make it your own


🔧 Edge Fit Options

Two edge styles are available to match your preference and dash condition:

  • Standard Fit (Recommended) — Designed for maximum coverage and the most reliable hold across a wide range of damage
  • Refined Edge (Eliminates Overlap) — Trimmed for a cleaner, more subtle appearance. Best used when edge damage is minimal

👉 Choose the balance of strength and appearance that fits your build

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Will this hold up in summer heat?

Yes. The kit uses 3M™ VHB™ high-temperature adhesive, rated for long-term exposure up to 200–300°F — well beyond typical interior vehicle temperatures.


Can I still remove the center stack later?

Yes. The adhesive is applied to the center stack itself. The rear edge is supported by the dash but not adhered to it, so the assembly can still be removed if needed.


Why does it overlap the edges?

Many damaged panels are missing material at the edges. The overlap allows the piece to anchor to solid structure and maintain strength in real-world conditions.


Does it snap into place?

No. This is a form-fit system, not a rigid replacement part. It is designed to be shaped using heat so it conforms to your specific dash.


Is this hard to install?

Most users find the process straightforward. If you’re comfortable using a hair dryer and working carefully, you can install this successfully.


Do I need to use both pieces?

No. You can use the top piece, the underlay, or both — depending on the condition of your dash and your goals.


🛠️ Built for the Element Community

Developed and tested with real Honda Element owners, Center Dash Armor™ is built around real-world installs — not perfect-condition parts.

It’s designed to work where other solutions fall short.


🚀 Final Result

Fix it fast… or rebuild it right.
