Has anyone installed the optional/OEM 3rd row sunshades? If so, how easy or difficult were they to install? Also, how is the fit and damage to the interior? We really like the 2nd row, so thinking about putting the 3rd in our 07 Touring.
Also, I was very concerned about the potential damage to the A/C condenser from road debris. So, I installed a set of custom stainless steel grill guards. I have included pictures, if anyone is interested:
link title
These are the Stainless Steel Grill Inserts, Combo Package, All Season-Round, Mirror Stainless (28-991); $209+35S&H=$244. A little expensive, but cheaper than a $600 A/C condenser replacement. Plus it gives the Ody an individualized, sporty look. They took about 3 weeks from order to arrival. Supposedly, each order is made individually.
Also, the company is www.cloud-rider.com.
I am very pleased with the product!

Honda All Season Mats - Do They Work ?

Just bought via internet the Honda All Season Mats. When I got them I was a bit disappointed as they "look" like they will not hold much water from melting snow. Can anyone share real world experience. I am use to the walmart mats where you can dump like a gallon or two or water and it all stays collected as the mats have a high wall that holds liquids. I do not want to throw in the towel just yet on the Honda mats just need some feedback from real world users. Also do you pull out the honda carpet mats or do you put the rubber mats on top. Thanks

If you didn't use it, return it, then order the weathertech or huskies at autoanything.com they have walls or lips to hold extra water and complete customs fit your ody. It is just a little higher. I ordered a set for my wife's 07 RAV4 and I like it.
As my all season honda mat does not have lips/walls I will make sure I brush off as much snow as possible to not spill the water over the edge to the carpet. You have to pull away the honda floor mats.

Fog Light Alignment

I bought fog lights as a stand-alone option in my 2007 EX-L, and the dealer installed them. However, I think there may be a problem with their alignment: there is a horizontal black line between where the light from the fog lights end and the light from the regular front lamps begin. In my other car with fog lights, there is no such gap; i.e., the light from the fog lights meets or perhaps overlaps a bit the light from the regular front lamps.
Should there be this gap? Perhaps someone who has fog lights could let me know?
Thanks greatly for the advice.

I bought the Honda All Season Mats for our 06'. They are useless for winter use. Water from melting snow runs everywhere. For some reason the passenger side floor on our car seems to be sloped towards the door. Water runs under the plastic piece on the door sill. I had to buy a set of large Pants Saver floor mats from Walmart to put in the front to catch all the water. Also the middle row is useless for winter use also. It comes in 3 pieces and has the cutouts for the in-floor storage bin. With so many cutouts in the middle row you might as well not having them there at all. What I did was buy another set of the large Pants Savers and put them on top of the Honda ones sideways, 2 of them fit just perfectly across and does a great job catching all the water. I take the Pants Saver ones out after winter. As far as the carpet ones, you do have to remove them.

The 07' models came with the coin holder in the center cupholder in the dash. The 05' and 06' didn't come with this. I was going to buy the cup holder from a 07' and install it into my 06'. Has anybody done this before or does anybody know how to remove the center pull out cuphholder? Both types are basically the same thing except the 07 has the integrated coin holder inside.

You can remove the Plus One seat. It's really easy to do and it folds up so you can store it in the floor compartment, or at home. On the 06' you have to remove the lazy susan first otherwise the seat won't fit inside. I store mine in the floor, comes in handy when you need it, actually used it about 3 times already.

I have a defect in the rubber seal on our 06' in the rear drivers side quarter glass. The seal was not installed properly and it looks like it's pushed in about 3 inches long. It really bothers me and still does after a year and a half. The dealer said that it only cosmetic, sure it is but I don't like it. I checked with the parts department and they said that the seal is part of the glass assembly. The service dept. agreed to change the glass panel/seal and said that I still have 1 1/2 years warranty and he said that if it was his he would leave it for now. I'm still thinking about whether to get it done or not. Main reason is that they have to take the spare tire out and 1/2 of the inside of the car apart to remove the glass. Then you wonder if they will put it all back together again correctly. My Honda dealer tells me that they have to send it to a local glass shop to get it done. Those guys have probably never even taken one of these cars apart before and is the seal on the glass going to be as good a a factory seal. I'm kind of leaning towards not getting it done for these reasons, it might cause me more grief later.

I bought the tray for our 06'. It's made that way for a reason, so you can drop the 3rd row seat down without having to remove the tray first.

When we bought our 06' EXL-RES it came with a small piece of carpet that is about 14" long and 9" wide. I think it had a couple of plastic tabs and a couple of snaps. I could never figure out what this thing is for , does anyone know where it goes? Thanks.
