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™ – Dash Skin™
Fast Repair for Cracked 2007–2011 Honda Element Center Dash Panels
Cracked center dash up top? Want a clean fix without tearing everything apart?
The Center Dash Armor™ Dash Skin™ is a form-fit repair solution designed to restore the most common failure point on your Honda Element’s center stack — quickly, cleanly, and without a full teardown.
This is the fast, low-effort solution for getting your interior back in shape.
🔧 What It Does
Dash Skin™ restores the top section of your center dash, where cracking most commonly occurs.
- Covers cracks, chips, and worn areas
- Bridges small gaps and surface damage
- Restores a clean, finished appearance
⚙️ How It Installs (Form-Fit System)
This is not a snap-in replacement part.
Dash Skin™ uses a form-fit thermoplastic design, allowing it to adapt to your specific dash — even if it’s slightly uneven or worn.
- The piece is 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
👉 No need to remove the entire center stack
🧠 A Repair That Fits Your Situation
Not every Element needs a full rebuild.
Dash Skin™ gives you a simple way to address the most visible damage:
- Ideal for light to moderate cracking on the top section
- Great for quick repairs without full disassembly
- A solid starting point if you’re unsure how far you want to go
👉 Upgrade to the Full Kit anytime for added structural support using the underlay and foam spacers

Dash Skin™ 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:

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

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Will this hold up in summer heat?
Yes. Dash Skin™ uses 3M™ VHB™ high-temperature adhesive, rated for long-term exposure up to 200–300°F — well beyond typical interior vehicle temperatures.
Do I need to remove the center stack?
No. Dash Skin™ is designed to install directly over the existing top section without removing the full center stack.
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.
What if my dash is more damaged than expected?
You can upgrade to the Full Kit, which includes the underlay and foam spacers for additional structural support.
