Parts for your 2013 Honda Stream-Pedal pads

2013 Honda Stream pedal pads – what they do and when to change them

Based on Honda’s service information for the RN6–RN9 Stream series and the Honda Electronic Parts Catalogue for Asia/Oceania markets, the 2013 Honda Stream is fitted with pedal pads: a rubber brake pedal pad on all models, plus a clutch pedal pad on manual variants. The accelerator pedal on this model is a one-piece plastic/metal tread and isn’t designed with a separate rubber pad.

On the 2013 Stream, pedal pads are the grippy rubber covers bonded to the metal pedal arms. Their job is simple but critical: provide secure, consistent traction underfoot so braking and clutch work stay precise in wet boots, jandals, or runners. A fresh pad keeps braking effort predictable and helps prevent the foot from slipping off during an urgent stop. That’s why Honda lists pedal condition checks in routine servicing procedures and parts catalogues carry them as replaceable wear items.

Over time, heat, UV, and daily driving polish the pad surface smooth or crack the rubber. When they get shiny, hard, or loose, braking feel goes downhill and safety inspectors can ping the vehicle. Owners of the 2013 Stream should ask for a quick pedal pad check at each service or every 20,000 km. It’s a low-cost fix that pays back in confidence behind the wheel.

Tell‑tale signs it’s time to replace:

• Pad face looks glossy, hardened, or has bald patches
• Visible splits, chunks missing, or edges curling
• Foot slipping more easily in the wet
• Pad no longer sits snug on the metal pedal

Replacement is straightforward for a trained tech: the old rubber is pried off, the pedal face is cleaned, and a new, model‑correct pad is warmed and worked on evenly so it seats fully around the lip. For manual versions, both brake and clutch pads should be checked together, often if one’s past its best, the other isn’t far behind. Stick with genuine Honda or an OE‑quality equivalent so the rubber compound and fit match the original. Universal covers that screw or clamp on can add bulk and interfere with pedal spacing, so they’re best avoided.

After fitment, a quick stationary pedal test with dry and damp soles is a smart final check. If the Stream sees plenty of city stop‑start or coastal conditions, expect slightly shorter lifespans and keep inspections on the regular.

Popular questions about 2013 Honda Stream pedal pads

Do all 2013 Honda Stream models have pedal pads?
Yes. Every 2013 Stream has a rubber brake pedal pad. Manual versions also have a clutch pedal pad. The accelerator uses an integrated tread, so there’s no separate rubber pad on that pedal.

How often should the brake pedal pad be replaced?
There’s no fixed kilometre interval. Have it inspected at each service or about every 20,000 km. Replace when it’s shiny, cracked, hard, or loose, or if a roadworthy/WOF check flags it for insufficient grip.

Can universal pedal covers be used on a 2013 Stream?
It’s not recommended. Universal screw‑on or clamp‑on covers can change pedal height or spacing and may slip. Choose genuine Honda or OE‑quality pads made for the Stream to keep grip and pedal feel spot on.
