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: http://www.collegehillshonda.com/instructions/gen3_odyssey/fenderwelltrim.pdf

Replying to: nowakj66 (Apr 14, 2007 10:04 am) 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.

Replying to: nowakj66 (Apr 15, 2007 11:19 am) i think one thing i would have done (i have an LX with cloth) would be to apply more scotch-guard on the flooring to prevent stuff from staining. specially between the middle seats. watch out for and immediately remove crayons. they melt! four years into ownership, we don't have mud-flaps, no problems. just the typical dings and scratches from other stuff.  wife asking now for a backup sensor or camera. hmmm.

Has anyone installed fog lights on a 2005-07 Odyssey? Is it easy or difficult? Is installing the switch easy? Is the minivan pre-wired, or is wiring necessary? Thanks for the help.

Hi, I just bought a 2007 Odyssey EXL-RES using Edmunds services. After purchase, thinking that NAV system would have been great. Is there any way I can get the RearView Camera with Navigation system (original Honda) installed or similar ones from other manufacturer installed on this vehicle? Thanks
