Followed the instructions for my 2008 EX-L Pilot.

It took me a long time to figure out how to dislodge and rotate the metal brace. For my vehicle there are tabs on the metal brace that prevent the brace from rotating vertically. I had to pull the brace towards the interior of the cabin to get the tabs to clear their mounts, and only then was I able to rotate the brace down as shown in the picture.
