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.

Leather Steering Wheel & Optional Clockspring – Used (Honda Pilot → Honda Element Swap)
Give your Honda Element a well‑deserved upgrade with a genuine leather steering wheel. This wheel comes from a Honda Pilot, but it’s a direct, factory‑fit swap for every 2003–2011 Element. No weird mods, no wiring headaches — just a nicer wheel with a better feel.
Compatibility (The Important Stuff)
- Direct plug‑and‑play fit for all 2003–2011 Elements
- Airbag transfers over perfectly
- Audio controls work exactly the same as long as your Element already has them
- Mounting points and internal structure are identical between Pilot and Element wheels
Adding Audio Controls to an Element That Doesn’t Have Them
If your Element didn’t come with audio controls, you can add them — you’ll just need:
- A Pilot clockspring
- A custom harness (available here)
- A compatible head unit
When installing the Pilot clockspring in an Element, you’ll need to reverse the polarity of the cruise‑control wires. I’ll have a full how‑to video up soon showing the whole process.
If you already have the wheel and just want the clockspring, you can also purchase that by itself.
Condition of the Wheel
- Leather is in good used condition
- No major rips or damage
- Normal, age‑appropriate wear
Trim Pieces (Finishers)
- Includes the original silver/grey Pilot finishers (the plastic trim around the airbag)
- Controls and airbags swap between the two styles without issue
- There are two versions of the wheels for these years. The only difference between them trim shape. Finishers are not interchangeable between all years.
Optional Refinishing
If you want the trim refreshed:
- OEM grey/silver refinishing is available for a small fee
- Piano black is also available
What’s Included
- Leather steering wheel (used)
- Silver/grey finishers installed
- Audio + cruise‑control buttons installed
- Clockspring not included unless you add it to your order
Notes
This leather wheel is a great OEM‑style upgrade if your original one is peeling, worn, or coming apart at the usual hand‑grip spots. The Pilot wheel gives you the same fit and function with a cleaner, more premium feel.
Due to the weight and size of the package, this piece is more expensive to ship. Sorry 🙁
If you have any questions about compatibility, refinishing options, or installation, just reach out — I’m happy to help.
Not only is the Honda Pilot steering wheel a direct fit with the Honda Element, it is a massive upgrade. Enjoy the feel and warmth of genuine leather as you hug the corners on your favorite road. Improved grip and feel. And why stop there? Add the Pilot Clock Spring to your order and wire the audio controls to your head unit!!! You will need to research how to complete the final connection to your specific head unit.
We also offer to refinished the plastic trim pieces on the steering wheel with OEM-color matched paint for a small fee. (pictured)
