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.

EXCELLENT! The bonus for me was amazing communication and color coded wires to the OEM wires. Helps take the guess work out of the process. This should be one of the first priorities of a new E owner. I will be sharing with our new group on Facebook - Oklahoma Element Owners. THANK YOU! Rob from OK “Elvira” - 2007 Honda Element EX AWD

UPGRADED Vtec Pig Tail • Water Proof • Genuine OEM
Product Details

The number one cause of the DTC P2646, P2647, P1009, and limp mode for any year Honda Element is water intrusion into the connectors for the spool valve. The spool valve is located on the firewall side of the engine just under the cowl. On top of the spool valve is an oil pressure switch and a VTEC solenoid. These connectors become corroded after years of water intrusion and then do not send proper readings to the ECU (most specifically on the oil pressure switch). The only true remedy is to replace the connectors, but unless the new connector is sealed the problem will reoccur later. These connectors are hand built out of Honda Genuine OE connectors with Tefzel wiring (color matched to the stock wiring), and then they are double sealed so that water intrusion is never an issue again. Included in the pack are heat shrink butt connectors to make installation quick and easy.

Note: 99 times out of 100 you only need to replace the Oil Pressure Switch pig tail however so many clients wanted to replace both that Classic Automotive NC started to offer them as well.

We offer two upgraded, waterproof pigtails designed for the VTEC solenoid in your engine, both using high-quality, color-matched wires to make installation easy.

1. Oil Pressure Switch Pigtail

  • Round plug and receptacle
  • Blue and brown wires
  • This is the one that most commonly fails and usually needs replacing.

2. Main VTEC Solenoid Pigtail

  • More rectangular/oblong plug
  • Gray interior
  • Green and black wires
  • This one is less commonly the issue, but many people replace it while they’re already working in that area.

Please reach out if you have any questions.
