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.

The blend door opening on the Honda Element sits in a spot that is rather susceptible to water intrusion. Rain runs down the windshield, under the windshield cowl, and some of the water can splash its way into the blend door opening, soaking your cabin air filters even if you have the CaveMods screen cover on. The Splash Shield magnetically attaches to the underside of the windshield frame, and redirects any water down the gutter, preventing the majority of splashes that might go down the blend door opening.
The shield is made of durable 1mm thick PETG plastic, with ASA brackets and corrosion resistant coated magnets.
Installation is as simple as letting the magnets attach to the car's body, and adjusting the position as needed. I prefer to have the shield all the way to the left, as close to the passenger side pillar as possible. Watch the video in the listing to see how it works!
It's highly recommended to use the Cave Mods Splash Shield in combination with the Blend Bunker screen cover, which prevents leaves, debris, and potentially even rodents, from entering the same opening. Both are easily removable should you ever want to access this area from above for some reason.
