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.

Complete VTEC Repair Kit – Spool Valve, Filter, Bolts & Pigtail (Honda Element)
If you’re dealing with VTEC codes, oil leaks, or inconsistent performance, this kit is designed to fix the problem completely—not just chase symptoms.
The VTEC system relies on both proper oil flow and a clean electrical signal. Most issues come down to one (or both) of those areas, and this kit addresses them together so you don’t have to piece it out or guess what’s failing.
Everything you need is here.
🔧 What This Kit Solves
• VTEC codes (P2646, P2647, etc.)
• Oil leaks around the spool valve
• Poor performance or lack of VTEC engagement
• Intermittent issues caused by weak electrical connections
📦 What’s Included
• Spool Valve Assembly (with gasket and screen)
• OEM VTEC Filter Screen (15815-RAA-A02)
• (3) OEM Mounting Bolts (95701-06055-08)
• VTEC Pigtail Connector (for repairing worn or damaged wiring)
• Dielectric Grease (for protecting electrical connections)
🧠 Why This Kit Works
Most VTEC problems fall into two categories:
1. Oil Flow Issues
Clogged screens, worn valves, or poor sealing can prevent proper oil pressure from activating VTEC.
2. Electrical Signal Issues
A weak or damaged connector can prevent the system from engaging—even if everything else is working.
👉 This kit addresses both sides of the system, which is why it’s far more effective than replacing just one component.
⚠️ Common Failure Points (What We See All the Time)
• Filter screens clogging over time
• Spool valve assemblies wearing out or leaking
• Connectors becoming brittle or losing contact
• Bolts stripping or bending during removal (they sit at an angle and are hard to see)
🛠️ Why Replace the Bolts and Connector?
These are often overlooked—but they matter.
The mounting bolts sit at a slight angle on the block and are difficult to see, making it easy to round them off during removal or reinstall them incorrectly. Fresh hardware ensures proper fit and clamping.
The pigtail connector restores a clean, reliable signal, and the included dielectric grease helps protect it from future corrosion.
💡 Element DIY Tip
If you’re already in there, it’s worth doing this once and doing it right. Replacing only one component can leave you chasing the problem later.
This kit is built to eliminate that guesswork.
⚠️ Note
• Designed for Honda Element VTEC systems (K-series engines)
• Always verify fitment for your specific year
• Professional installation recommended if you’re unfamiliar with engine work
