Replying to: stickguy (Dec 16, 2007 7:26 pm) I have an Ody with the backup camera built into the NAV (large screen). I would also recommend the backup sensors in addition if you're concerned about backing safely. The backup camera has a lot of limitations due to sunlight wash, dirt on the camera, rain/snow on the camera, and a delay due to the system having to boot (on nav models). I'm guessing the screen is also very small on these models with it built into the rearview camera. The sensors are passive, in that they alert you to potential problems and you don't have to directly look at the screen.   I originally thought the sensors were redundant since it has a backup camera, but IMHO the sensors are far more useful as a safety feature. The Ody is just as big as a full-size SUV and has a lot of blind-spots particularly with a load of people on board.
#841 of 902 Floor Mats again by nash1234 Dec 24, 2007 (10:19 pm)
I saw the threads about Weathertechs being better than the Honda all season floor mats. I went to look at both autoanything.com and weathertech.com. They have the same Weathertech mats but weathertech.com is much cheaper, but they charge shipping and tax whereas aa does not charge either. I guess I will ask for a pricematch at aa.   But my question is, did you opt for the cheaper all-season mats or the WeatherTech Extreme-Duty Floor Liners? Is it worth the extra cost?

Replying to: nash1234 (Dec 24, 2007 10:19 pm) I tried bothe the Honda All Season Floor "Mats" and the Weathertech Floor "Liners". I cannot honestly say how the Weathertech Floor "Mats" perform as I have not tried them.   In my previous post I stated I was very disappointed with the Honda All Season Floor mats, this hold true. Now that I own the Weathertech Floor Liners for a couple of months AND put them through the snow/salt test I can say I am very satisfied and do not regret my purchase.   There is a lot of floor ground to cover in a van. After having the short term Honda mat experience and previous mat experiences in other cars I personally find the weathertech floor "Liner" concept worth the extra cost. This is because the have a true 3 dimension fit made specifically for your van and a full surronding lip around the edge of the mat, kind of like the dish tray you may find in your kitchen. They also are easy to clean due not having a gazillion 1 inch deep groves in them which it looks like the mats have.

Replying to: nash1234 (Dec 24, 2007 10:19 pm) I have the WeatherTech all season mats in my Highlander and just yesterday I purchased the WeatherTech floor liners for my Odyssey. I looked at both of these at the showroom, while both are good and do their job well I feel that the liners are better suited to the Odyssey as the second and third row are one single piece and almost like a tray that will hold anything the kids manage to bring into the van.   I have seen the Honda all-season mats in my friends Odyssey and in my opinion both WeatherTech mats are better than the Honda mats.   WeatherTech may not charge tax if you are outside Illinois but I am not sure about this.
#844 of 902 Side Window Deflectors (Macneil Automotive Products - WeatherTech.com) by ocuihs Dec 29, 2007 (1:04 am)
Placed an order online for ground shipping on Dec 25 and the set (front & back - dark tint) arrived on Dec 28.   The total was $106.95 (no taxes out of IL) for my 2007.   The install was quick with instructions and online video. http://www.weathertech.com/store/mvproduct.aspx?ItemGroupId=4&VehId=281&Year=200- 7   I would recommend this company.
#845 of 902 Mirror + backplate by hatman20 Dec 29, 2007 (4:14 pm)
Hi Searched this forum + the DIY forum, but didn't find what I needed... Automatic mirror and backplate on Odyssey/2000 (Year) LH/driver's side mysteriously disappeared. I can buy a mirror for $38, but with no backplate, which I am told, is necessary to attach mirror. Honda dealership told me that I must purchase and replace the entire mirror unit (for a lot of $), that they do not sell just mirror and backplate.   Does anyone know where I can buy a mirror with backplate attached, or just a backplate, new or used? Thanks for any thoughts! Replies to this message: user777 (Dec 30, 2007 10:07 am) hatman20 (Dec 30, 2007 4:42 pm)

Replying to: angelchicago (Dec 25, 2007 3:32 am) I have the Honda All Season Floor Mats and am very disappointed in them. Water from melted snow runs everywhere. I am thinking about getting a set of Weathertech floor Liners also. Can you comment on how the water gets channeled over the door sills in the front row. Does it make a big mess on the door sill and does water run under the plastic piece on top of the door sill? Quote from Weathertech: "Once fluids become trapped in the reservoir, away from shoes and clothing, they are easily removed from the WeatherTech® FloorLiner™ over the door sill...no muss-no fuss!" Thanks in advance. Replies to this message: angelchicago (Jan 10, 2008 4:53 am) agiletrixie (Feb 04, 2009 10:17 pm)

#849 of 902 WeatherTech floor mats vs liners by husker39 Jan 09, 2008 (8:15 pm)
I just purchased a 07 Odyssey EXL with gray leather and really need to purchase winter floor mats. Read some forum comments so I have been looking at the WeatherTech products and wanted to know which color matches best with the gray interior (Black or gray???) On the WeatherTech website it looks like the gray floormats are a light gray. It sounds like most of you like the liners over the mats. I am still trying to decide which style I should purchase mats vs. heavy duty floor liners. I would like some additional feedback if possible.
