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.

E-Dash Dock | Side Kick Mounting Base
Auxiliary Side Mount for Lightweight Devices
Product Overview
The Side Kick is a side-mounted accessory bracket designed to keep your phone or other small device within easy reach—without cluttering the center of your Honda Element dash.
This 3D-printed, clip-on mount installs on either side of the factory radio bezel. Its snap-on design, reinforced with automotive-grade 3M VHB tape, provides a secure, vibration-resistant fit while maintaining a low-profile, OEM-friendly appearance. The Side Kick delivers the same modular mounting flexibility as the E-Dash Dock, simply repositioned to the side of the dash.

Bezel Styles
Honda Elements use two radio bezel styles:

Side Kick mounts are side-specific and bezel-specific. Left and right orientation is referenced from the driver’s seat.

FAQ — Will This Work with Aftermarket Head Units?
Yes — as long as your radio bezel is OEM or securely fastened to the vehicle.
The Side Kick mounts to the radio bezel itself, not directly to the dash structure. If your bezel is factory OEM (even with an aftermarket head unit installed), you’re good to go.
Some aftermarket bezel kits use lighter plastic or weaker attachment points. If the bezel isn’t firmly secured to the dash, the mount may feel unstable.
If your bezel feels solid when you press on it, the Side Kick will perform as intended.
