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.

Packaging was simple, and the only hiccup was the lack of an allen key, which seemed to be implied to be included. After the assembly, the backrest was perfect. A bit on the pricey side for my taste, but would definitely recommend.

Tailgate Backrest for Honda Element

Introducing our latest innovation for Honda Element owners: the Tailgate Backrest. This backrest easily attaches to the strike plate on your tailgate, providing a comfortable place to lean back and relax. Perfect for watching fireworks, outdoor movies, soccer games, or picnics.

OEM backrests are hard to find and can leave you with sticker shock. Our backrest offers the same comfort and quality at a fraction of the price, with several improvements to the original design. These include locking brackets that secure the backrest in place and a heavier-duty, waterproof, and easier-to-clean material. The storage net features a zipper closure for easy access to stored items but remains attached to the backrest.

We offer the Tailgate Backrest in two varieties:

  1. Complete Kit: The entire kit, pre-assembled and ready to install, providing immediate convenience.
  2. Partial Kit: For a lesser price, this option includes just the brackets and the cloth cover. The end user will need to purchase a three-quarter inch EMT conduit and a large pool noodle. We recommend a large pool noodle without a slit, just a hole through the middle. With the partial kit, you save substantially in shipping because it comes packed more tightly in a smaller box.

Key Features:

  • Easily attaches to the strike plate on your tailgate
  • Provides a comfortable place to lean back and relax
  • Improved design with locking brackets and durable materials
  • Storage net with zipper closure
  • Straps for easy hanging storage in the cargo area

OEM backrests are hard to find and can leave you with sticker shock. Our backrest offers the same comfort and quality at a fraction of the price. We’ve made sure to include all the thoughtful details such as a zippered storage net and hooks. We’ve even included the snap straps that allow you to easily store the backrest by hanging them on the hooks in the cargo area.

Additionally, we've made several improvements to the original design. We’ve created a self-locking bracket that secures the backrest in place, and used a heavier-duty, waterproof, and easier-to-clean material in our one-of-a-kind backrest.

Whether you're enjoying a day out or just relaxing at the park, our backrest is your perfect companion.

Enjoy comfort and convenience with our new Tailgate Backrest.
