I forgot to take pictures of the re-padding procedure...I used some high-density foam from the craft store.
The Integra has threaded inserts here...not so the wagon.
The carpet has to be cut for the mount to go through, just be patient and cut a little at a time. In the photo above you can see where the front edge of the "leg" fits up to a ridge in the floorpan, that gives a good reference to be sure it's installed square. I first tried using Tek screws, but they stripped before pulling down tight enough to suit. There are now nuts on the underside of the car,,,you'll have to trust me on this one
the carpet folds back in place:
and there you have it!

Great, now I miss my wagon EVEN MORE !!!!
that doubles the value of any wagon
great write-up
Like most Honda stuff, it's more substantial than its minimal appearance suggests. I took it from a '92 model car with 306K miles and it wasn't hurt yet...the foam in it was shot is all.
mine recovered in black tweed...
Next trick: I want to add a 12V accessory plug either in the armrest or in the rear ashtray for my phone charger...
i think the rear ash tray would be a cool place for the accessory plug. get crazy and put an 110 outlet in the hatch too.....
110V, hmmm... I do have a couple of inverters laying around :twisted: I usually keep one in the car with me in the wintertime to charge my HID bike lights.
looks to me like it would work. You're gonna be drilling the holes to suit anyway, right?
Well yeah where else would they be? in the intake?
I just meant that I wasn't going to get under there for a pic! No Loctite, just used some regular Honda flanged nuts... maybe a little Alabama loctite?
wagon....................4ever................

My blue one from eBay should be coming later this week. Yay!
Last one of those I installed I was being lazy and just shot 4 sheetrock screws in it 15 minutes before a roadtrip. Didnt remove the seats or anything, lol.
i have a couple of follow up questions.
do you have a list of other honda's that would also work?
year and model of car?
also do you know if there is a brown color version?
Sorry, I don't really have a list, and am not sure about brown. It does look like MikeB's Accord one would work. Mine is from a '92 4-door Integra.
