Soft Top Replacement
Hey All,
So this morning I was dropping the top...and all I heard this loud cracking noise...I raised the top back up and inspected the top...and a rip/tear had formed on my vinyl back windshield, shaped like a 'T' from bottom to top...I'm outta warranty, and I was wondering if I should take this up to Honda...because seems like a defected material than a wear issue. Anyone have this problem or any sort of problem with the top and taken it up with a dealer?

Sorry to hear about your top issues... While this reply isn't exactly on target (I don't have any experience dealing with Honda on out-of-warranty issues), I did want to let you know that I've recently had my '03 top replaced because it was slashed, and the shop I took it to has a cloth, glass window prototype they're itching to install. Company is Teeter and Schact in Novato. BTW, I was very satisfied with their quality and care on my car.
Regards,
MCK

Yes but he was talking about a cloth top. Not a vinal one like we currently have.

someone can always buy my 02 top off of me Only catch is they'll have to take my top off and somehow install it into theirs. This way i'll always be topless

-uninstall mine, install your soft top to mine
vs
-purchase new
-uninstall my old, install new

^ but you can forget about putting one back in mine. I'm thinking about you uninstalling mine and that's it for my part. Should be a lot cheaper don't you think?
Considering I always have my hardtop on i don't think i will need a soft top
just a thought. if you're interested send me a pm
