I did a lot of the same mods. I keep the roof net, tailgate net, hood deflector, and I added a heavier rubber floor which makes it much quieter on the highway. Also did a dash cover, but did the backup cam style to keep it discrete.

If you fold the rear seats and push the front seats forward, you could put a twin mattress. I bet that is the reason you have the rear moon roof

Mine is a 04’ EX in orange. Bought used with 140,000. I swapped out the stock gauge lights for LED in ice blue per Element Lifestyle. Big difference! Also the dome and map lights. Then I got all exterior LED lights. The headlamps are tricky not to be aimed too high. I got the Element seat covers, like yours, expensive, but nice. I had to buy an Amazon roof rack for my canoe, cheap, the rubber boots don’t fit perfect, but it’s solid and works fine. I removed the plastic roof garnish bits, underneath was full of pine needles and crap, gave it a wax and reinstalled. Even the skylight drain holes were plugged. I saw a video where the guy pulls out his rear seats, and swapped right for left and installed them to face backward, for lounging. Alex Kolipinski on KZread. Fun cars, I can’t believe I didn’t buy one sooner. Cheers from Chicagoland!

I may have to sell my Element simply because i may not be able to maintain it if there are no replacement parts.

To me it was a SUV with a Civic trim level. Very basic. Get a light tap on the front bumperetts and the bracket will poke through the rubber. It had a very , yes very soft ride. Mileage was that of my 08’Caddy that I bought next. Very very basic interior, perhaps to basic for me. It is what it is.🏖️

For travel I ditch the unused seats, and got an oversized rubber floor mat I trimmed to fit. Keeps things from sliding around and makes the cabin much quieter on long highway drives. Thinking about getting some 17's from an accord next to help the gearing a bit without a huge sidewall. I've slept in the back seats or on a foam mattress on top of em, or a blow up when the seats are out.

I had bought some 17 inch wheels from a 2015 accord EX but had trouble with the fitting I had them on the element for a few months but the ride was more rough. I ended up going back to the 16's and got the wildpeaks instead. I should have gotten wider tires like a 235 instead of the 215s but they are still good.

I have a daughter who still needs a carseat. We make sure we all pack a bag each. Husband, my daughter and myself. To sleep we fold the seats up, put her car seat in the passenger seat with our bags on top. If any other big/bulky items need to be brought they go on top of the car as we have a rack. We have padded mats we lay down, then covers. We sleep comfortably.

We have this and a Toyota van. Donating our wonderful Honda van to an animal rescue group. Of the three, any would work for your business. You’d have more space in the mini van but the Element might work. I need to point out that parts are an issue with the Element. Parts are readily available for both of our vans. I believe our friend’s animal rescue will be better off with the Honda Odyssey for that reason, although the floor is carpeted. It can be covered. You need to consider that in your future use.

@ReadySetElement We inherited a 2004 Honda Element with 130,O00 miles from my father in law. We always loved it. He alone drove it and more than half of the miles were highway. He was extremely good about maintenance. The only problem was a leak which he had silicone sealed around the roof antenna. We took it to a body shop to learn the entire roof and door panel were rusted inside where you can’t see it. Told it’s a manufactured flaw around the seal. I don’t really understand that as my husband spoke to the body shop man. Was told no parts are available. My husband wants to try to do something himself now that he’s retired. Do you know anything about this issue. We love the vehicle and want to pass it along to our grown daughter eventually.
