DO SIDE WINDOW DEFLECTORS REDUCE WIND NOISE?
My 2007 Odyssey has much too much wind (and/or road) noise with the front windows rolled down (and I enjoy driving with the windows down quite a bit, here in San Diego). Has anyone had experience with side window deflectors? If yes:
1. Do they reduce wind noise? Significantly?
2. Do they also reduce wind noise when the window is closed (rolled up)?
3. Do they have any drawbacks? (Do they come off? Do they inhibit the view?...)
4. What brand(s) are best?
Thanks greatly for your advice.

The roll up custom fit 3rd party sunshades sold by many Honda dealers (about $25-29) work well. If not local, you can find them cheap at handa.com (which I believe is a northern California Honda/Acura dealership. You can also find heavy duty fold up sunshade made by Covercraft (also a perfect fit) online or even at J.C.Whitney (but that's close to $50. Folds fast though.) Honda windshields are very tall as you have noticed, and I never found a generic one that would cover the whole window well.

I came to exactly the same solution! I've called two places, though, and both want $25 to do cut it. One guy explained that a typical pin and tumbler machine won't cut it, and you need a high security key machine that costs around $3K, so they charge more. Still, I figure that's cheaper than paying a lock out service.

Fyi, when I called around to local locksmiths who'd cut a Honda key (with the chip in it), the cheapest I'd found would make me a key with the chip (so you could use it to start the car) but without the remote control (to open the doors) was about $75. They'd cut me a key without the chip (so I could get INTO the car but not start the engine - e.g. in case of a lockout) for about $25-35. Yes, calling around to find a locksmith who wants to make back some of his investment in the key cutting equipment and software can save you some bucks. Sure didn't want to pay what they wanted for a key with the remote control built in though. Ouch.

Where are you located? Best I found for cutting a key with the chip (and programming the chip so it would work) was $110 at Arlington Lock and Key in Northern Virginia. That was the same place that quoted $25 to cut a mechanical key (that doesn't have the chip and only opens the door).

Can anyone suggest me the Remote Starter, Price and where can I get installed?
Thank you.

I had a 2" hitch supplied and installed by Eckart but no wiring as it was just for the bike rack. Cost was over $200 installed but a very good quality product and job.
I inititally had one installed by U-haul but refused to accept the installation job and told them to take it off. They did and I left no problems. The problem with their hitch was that it protruded out past the rear bumper - rather dangerous for your shins. That was a major issue for me as I mostly use the back of the van for access to the dog crates and would have always been bumping my shins and knees on that hitch.
Cheers

I am looking at the behind second seat cargo liner as I always have the 3rd row of seats folded away. I wish to also level the floor of the cargo area as I have dogs travelling in crates. The floor is so uneven (unlike my 2004 Odyssey cargo floor), that the crates rock if the dogs move inside the crates.
Do cargo liners help even the surface at all? Or will this long liner 'sag' to mold to the uneven floor?
TIA

You can get one installed in any car audio shop or Honda dealer.
