It would be very useful if you could give me your advises how to do the installation easily. I read the instruction (in pdf), feeling it's understandable (just a bit not clear at how to put back the power door control unit, if at its place there is already installed the sensor control unit, etc).
 
I think it's the matter if I can pluck the car panels out easily. There are lot of clips and tabs. Do you know there is any tricks or tools to do that, not damaging the car parts?
 
I am not feeling comfortable with tons of generic and cheap back-up sensors (not the back-up camera which I don't need) on the market. Their installation instruction is very generic (for any car) and short. When go to particular car, I think we have to do the same tasks as if installing the manufacturer parts - where to place the components, where to plug in and route the cables, where the power source is, etc.
 
Thanks in advance

Is there any way to make it seat 8? Will the 3rd row attach in the 2nd row?

Nope, can't move 3rd row. Only option is to upgrade to a van with 8 seats.

I think Ody EX-L 07 comes with keyless entry and security system. Please correct me if I am wrong. Does anyone know if it also has remote start and remote window up/down feature as well?

2006 Odyssey Fenderwell Trim Install and Maintenance by nowakj66
Apr 14, 2007 (12:24 am)

I just had the Fenderwell Trim installed on my 2006 Odyssey.
 
The front trim involves the trim piece only and the rear includes the trim plus a rubber strip called an "inner protector".
 
The service tech warned that water can collect in the "inner protector" and cause rust. He suggested removing it once a year and making sure the area is clean and dry to avoid rust.
 
This got me thinking - should I just remove this "inner protector"? Or remove it now and wax that area thoroughly before putting it on again to fight rust?
 
I just recall how early 90s Accords all seemed to rust in that area.
 
Thoughts and advice are appreciated!
 
Note - You can see how the fenderwell trims are installed here:

Let me put this question simply - has anyone who has installed the fenderwell trim in a 2005 or later Odyssey had a problem with rust?

in two years or less, are they likely to have seen it? would they be taking it off to inspect the fenderwell area? i think you're asking a question that isn't likely to be answered.
 
personally, w.r.t. additional trim like this or even bras, etc, i'd be weary of unnecessary dirt and water accumulation. i don't think appearence-wise or protection-wise they are necessary on the vehicle. and, i think they'd interfere with proper wax. also, i think these things are likely to cause paint color differences (what is protected / what isn't). which is another way of saying what is protected, long-term has to remain that way, or there's likely to be a paint coloration difference.
 
that's just one reader's opinion though.
 
if you really want to seek out an answer for this question, you might want to try posting in another ODY forum on another site that deals with appearence issues. another option is to speak to someone knowlegeable at a detailing or paint shop. this must be a common question, not specific to hondas.
