Got that handle to sit further up into the ceiling, and the brackets that hold the toggles have been redesigned for more strength and easier glass removal.
Honda Element power sunroof removal demo

Just showing that the powered sunroof motor mod does not keep the sunroof glass from being removable like it was from the factory. Sunroof kit will be available at elementdiy.com, and my power side window kit is already available to purchase from there.
Honda Element Power Sunroof/Moonroof Success!
Просмотров 2,5 тыс.5 месяцев назад
After 26 revisions, here is (as far as I know) the world's first operational power sunroof / moonroof in a Honda Element. It works with or without the side window modification that I have also done. Since I believe in retaining factory functionality when doing mods, this also retains the ability to open the sunroof manually and remove the glass entirely. I have a few months of testing to do, bu...

Fully functioning video here: ruclips.net/video/FlnDAQg-ni8/видео.htmlsi=dJUs39X54pz7zA3M Feasibility confirmed. with a larger power supply, the microcontroller won't brown out, and the sunroof will open and close unassisted. Already tested staying open at highway speeds and water tight under heavy rain. Stay tuned, available soon...

03-06 Honda Element visor WITH MIRROR in an 07+
Просмотров 4218 месяцев назад
Adding the pre-facelift sun visors to a facelift element is not new. however, I don't like losing factory features when I modify my car, so I found out you can install a passenger side mirror in the driver side visor so us 07 guys don't lose that makeup vanity mirror in the search for better sun visors. 😜 write up: www.elementownersclub.com/threads/driver-sun-visor-swap-with-mirror.173305/#post...
Honda Element corner markers wired to combo parking/turn signals

Instructions and picture guide here: www.elementownersclub.com/threads/how-to-corner-marker-light-as-a-turn-signal.173198/ This lets the corner marker work as a parking light AND turn signal, instead of losing parking light functionality to work only as a turn signal as many others have done. each corner marker runs through its own relay with a turn signal trigger to accomplish this.

Nerf flywheel blaster: Does a brass barrel help?
Love it.....I was looking 4 something like this to extend the interoor space for my 🐈 😻 🐈⬛️ 🐱 cats when camping. What is the $$$ 4it?
wow what a cool idea
Dude. That’s next level engineering! I saw the power rear door glass. Just couldn’t afford any more weight. That is an awesome mod! Keep it up!
Most excellent! Just as with all your other mods and upgrades. Thanks for sharing!
Great rain test
You are one busy man!
I get Mondays and Tuesdays off 🤷
@@averycolburn 😂
You are a mad genius!
Another great idea!
Hopefully it helps others out there. It's a high power draw, but no extra fan/equipment install needed is a plus in my book.
@@averycolburn I have an unrelated question. Have you, or do you know of anyone, that has added a third set of speakers behind the passenger seats somewhere? I know people have put subwoofer back there. But I haven’t seen a third set of three-ways back there.
@@brianthompson9241 i haven't done it, but I seriously considered 5 1/4" coaxials in the hatch. It would be an easy job, especially if your car is amplified from the factory.
@@averycolburn I believe mine is. It’s an 05’ EX.
@@brianthompson9241 if you have an aftermarket radio, just run the speaker level outputs from the radio to the back hatch, and cut some holes to mount the speakers. Probably a 4-5 hour job. The radio will still power and play through the factory amplifier like normal if you have it connected correctly to RCAs.
What was the cost of this 5 D tent?
Go to an upholstery shop and have them make a marine grade cap that'll go over the top rear hatch door with over lapping sides by 4 to 5 inches, which will prevent water from finding it's way in. Strong magnets will keep it in place
New mod: turn the Element into a powered paraglider with a switch flip. Cliff up ahead? Thelma & Louise it!
Thanks for showcasing. Yeah, it's not designed for heavy storm use, but considered a 3-season, fair weather way to enjoy additional cubic volume in your Element. If wanting to live in it for heavy rain use, I'd suggest scotch-guarding it for additional protection plus seeing where there may be potential water intrusion spots to see if a rain fly would help, just like with any outdoor tent. Enjoy using it, and the missing 2 snaps are in the mail to you.
Look into I think it’s the Honda Odyssey or the Chrysler Town & Country but they have powered vent windows in the rear because they’re big vans. You can never get to the rear to open in them up so from the front they have powered maybe you could look into those motors and controllers for that. But great work!!
Hell yeah that’s awesome!!!!
Looking forward to the Finished product
Will these be restocked? I can’t find on the website
These aren't on elementdiy.com yet, expect them to come available in July
Those tongs are IMPOSSIBLE to squeeze in every Element Ive been in.
Needs more grease! It's metal on metal under pressure, I can see why
i hooked up underglow on mine with buttons on the inside and it looks amazing
Wow, how satisfying to see them open and close. Odd as it may seem, it's fun.
Noice
Fantastic! You have some excellent mods…
This one is a keeper. I’ll take one. The drivers side one would hit my controls.
I’m loving this! I wonder if my hand controls would be in the way
I'd be happy to send you one to find out.
@@averycolburn have you decided on a price?
@@brianthompson9241 Yeah, it's based on print time, looks like $22, which includes shipping to the US. I am also in the prototype stage for a passenger version as well
@@averycolburn oh, a passenger version may be better for my use. I have much more room on that side.
@@brianthompson9241 printing now, should be an easy make since it's similar to the driver side. Keep an eye out here or on the multitude of element Facebook groups
Should have been an OEM option. Nice work!
Thats awesome
I try my best!
I am hoping to make it up this year. Thanks for the drive through of the trek. I better bring my Dramamine! 🤣
It's swervy! I'll be there again, come find me, blue 2008 with the power Moonroof demo
Why u be deleting comments? ☹
Im not? If you see comments disappearing it's RUclips's fault.
Yeah, I had to go back and check, but the video is set as not for kids and comments are on. Not sure what problem you're having but I'm not deleting anything.
@@averycolburn Check to see if it went in spam for some unknown reason! All I did was offer an alternative for those of us who suck at DIY stuff.
Sorry bro, nothing in the "held for review" section... post it up here as a reply maybe?
Any adjustments possible by the end user? I’d like to see the angle a bit flatter. So if I have an open can, the liquid doesn’t pour out if close to full.
such a great idea !!!
You’re the genius behind the the TikTok account? ElementDYI? This is awesome, regardless. Makes me want to cut my roof off and weld this in.
I am not, elementDIY is run by a friend of mine. He currently sells my door cubby and powered rear door window designs though.
Just curious what state you are in?
North Carolina!
Very impressive ❤
I think I remember you saying you had experience with car audio. Is that correct? If so, I’m looking for recommendations for a head unit that has wireless CarPlay and a good quality back up camera. But I don’t want one of those floating big screens. I want the largest screen that can fit flush in the stock location. Could you recommend something?
Wireless car play is a pain. Pioneer makes a decent no-cd head unit, it's an NEX number. The model escapes me. For the camera, I recommend rydeen
@@averycolburn when you say wireless CarPlay is a pain, what do you mean? Is it a pain to find one? Or is it a pain to use? Is it better just to go with a wired version?
@@brianthompson9241 it drains your phone battery and is expensive to implement, but the pioneer seems to be pretty affordable. The P/N is DMH-W2770NEX
@@averycolburn thank you
dang yo, this is sick
Thanks. Still working out the kinks. I'm on version 43 now.
@@averycolburn that is perseverance for sure, good stuff
Glass is still removable too! ruclips.net/video/jkPCFM_glUU/видео.html
Excellent! I need to do this.
Me too!
That is amazing. Can't wait to see the finished package ready to receive in the mail.
Soon!
Amazing! I absolutely want this for mine
This is so cool!
Avery how much to install this
If I were installing, as an installer, I would charge you 2-3 hours. The kit itself will probably be north of $400, there is a LOT of printing and assembly to do just like my side windows. They should be available for sale soon via elementdiy.com
@@averycolburn great thanks Avery. You side windows is awesome but that sunroof is a game changer. I would pay 400 easy for that mod. I would want to buttons though. One in the front and 1 in the back. I really like watching your vids. You pretty creative. Keep it up!
@@_craig_macc You can have as many buttons are you want for operation! The button just powers the motor controller, so put a button wherever you want and wire them in parallel so that they all can move the motors. I know of one case where someone put three buttons all attached to their side windows: one in the driver door, and one of each rear side doors
@@averycolburn that's cool Avery I certainly will do that when this is available. Appreciate what you do for the Element community!
This is dope 👍🏻
Honda pilot switch nice work
🔥🔥
Sick i need this
Niiice
moonroof is clear. Sunroof is solid / retractable solid. Thought maybe you converted it to a sunroof. That said, great add. Would love that option, but can't justify the work / cost yet. Great that it can still be removed.
So, Moonroof? Idk. I don't keep track of these things, and if I don't, I assume others don't either. Consider the title SEO.
Wow 🤩
Want this...bad
Available soon, hopefully! I have to make sure nothing breaks or leaks too easily!
Nice, install one on mine?
I can eventually, let me iron out all the kinks in this one first though
Sweet!
That is siiiiiick! Nice work man! Can't wait to see the final product.
Give me a week. I need that larger power supply to keep the controller from browning out, and I need to integrate a magnet to keep the handle "sucked up" into the ceiling. Manual operation and removable glass features still retained. Watch this space.
