3 laps behind a pace car for $25.

They offer this year round and call it "Thunder Road Tours". We did it while I was at a BMW CCA school in our Pilot, the kids loved it

Cant find it, but there was a reason why I did not purchase the Modifry Straps. As I searched I found several instances where it appears people botched the install. Done the right way, I guess they'll work. Still using my hand to push the top back though.

The BEST parade laps were had for the S2000 Vintage Spring Fling back many years ago
I pushed the pace car, hard, it was amazing, not only the speed, but the number of laps they gave us

I don't think any of us here are concerned about voiding the warranty.

Nothing in those links screamed "DON'T DO IT!" to me. A slight bulge in the top up where the elastic gets wrapped once around the bar? I can live with that.

I see no tales of "OMG, the Modifry straps wore a hole in my top!"

Sick of reaching up to pull the bar back. Some of us vertically challenged people don't care for it.

I secretly suspect my staps are as good as they are because A- my top is rarely if ever actually latched, and B- my top is rarely up and in direct sunlight

I got to do it on the VFR 2 years ago. Country Rode Motowerks and the BMW club do it once a year for charity.

yep! which is why I said, most of those seemed like botched installs.

I secretly hope you are right. I've been following your mantra to the T

Talking about tops...
I used TYPE B about 4-years ago, stuff has proven to be awesome





My top is really tight, and I was never happy with how it looked stretching over one of the rubber stops
I was always in fear someday that stop would wear out and a metal bar would poke through my top
So I added a layer of this stuff to strengthen the top
I put it on by following the instructions perfectly
And after all these years those patches are just as strong as ever

I love my covered parking ramp garage, my toys are not left out in the baking sun when I drive them to work, and of course at home they are always in the garage
