Got my "Cabin Comfort Kit 16" p/n 76010-HL4-305 today. My dealer is pretty swamped with work so they let me install it. I preferred that anyway and it allowed me to make a few changes along the way.
First step in the instructions is to remove the seat cushion, seat back and the panel between the 2. The first bit of labor is replacing the foam under the panel between the cushion and seat back. Mineral spirits took the foam goo off really well and the new foam stuck better than I expected.
I've been pretty happy with my reflective material shield so I decided not to remove it but rather work around it with the new parts. The new honda panel under the middle and right seat is a bit sloppy too. Here's the new part overlayed on my shield. I installed the honda rubber under my shield.
Next was the seat back panel. I think this really seals the front seat from the engine bay. I expect the heat between the seat cushion and back rest to be gone.
Covers over the belt provisions
The new parts include a big rubber shield behind the cushion and back rest. For all the bolts through the back panel I added a washer to hold the rubber in place. I also relocated a few holes to make the mounting provisions more symmetrical side to side
A 5/16" hole punch is great for punching holes in the rubber
I added a few push pin holes in the rubber at the bottom to tie the cover into the existing seat belt push pins
Foam back rest added for the middle seat. I like this part
Weather stripping across the top. This makes a good seal to the back rest of the seat. I like this part
All the Honda Fix parts installed
Seat back in with the mid panel
Next step was putting the back panel on and that sealed it up. I'm pretty happy. Honda addressed the warmer middle seat and the air flow holes around the seat belts. I expect it will work pretty well but it might push the heat to the back seat or behind the back rest.
I'll try it Monday and report back.
