Honda Element dog window upgrade with dog inside

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.

VTEC Spool Valve Bolts – Set of 3
Product Details

VTEC Spool Valve Bolts (OEM Honda 95701-06055-08) – Set of 3


These are the correct OEM flange bolts that secure the VTEC spool valve assembly on the Honda Element.

If you’ve worked on this job before, you already know—these bolts can be a pain. They sit at a slight angle on the engine block and are difficult to see during installation and removal, which makes it easy to start turning them without the socket fully seated.

That’s when things go wrong.

It’s very common for these bolts to strip, round off, or even bend slightly during the process. This set gives you all three replacements so you’re not forced to reuse damaged hardware.


🔧 Why These Matter

• Proper length and flange design for correct VTEC assembly mounting
• Helps maintain a tight seal and prevent oil leaks
• Ensures even clamping across the spool valve
• Exact OEM spec (M6 x 55mm flange bolts)


⚠️ Why These Bolts Fail

• Installed at a slight angle on the block
• Limited visibility during removal/installation
• Socket doesn’t fully seat → leads to rounding
• Heat cycles and oil exposure weaken the hardware

Even careful installs can go sideways if the socket isn’t perfectly aligned.


🛠️ When to Replace Them

• When replacing the spool valve assembly
• During VTEC troubleshooting or repair
• Anytime the original bolts show rounding, bending, or resistance


📦 What’s Included

• (3) Genuine OEM Honda flange bolts
• Part number: 95701-06055-08


💡 Element DIY Tip

Take your time getting the socket fully seated before turning these. Because of the angle and tight access, it’s easy to think you’re on it when you’re not.

If they don’t come out clean, don’t fight them—replace them.
