Default Soft top replacement via Honda TSB

Has anyone gotten this done locally at a dealership while out of warranty? (in my case, out of warranty by 2 months )

I've got a small tear in my soft top above the passenger shoulder.

Thanks

I think the only active member that has had their top replaced by a dealer was Paul (H2kBBAP2). I'm sure he will comment, but I know it wasn't the best experience.

I got mine replaced out of warranty as well. Call honda customer care first and let them know the situation. Explain how you love the car. Do some research other members have had their top replaced. I was very persistant and they first agreed to half payment and then in the end picked up the full bill

I just had my top replaced on my 06 after having more than one conversation with Honda about it. I brought up both of the main TSB's related to holes in the top, as I had both latches poke through the top as well as the hole in the right rear.

The right latch hole and right rear hole was patched by the guys out at Darrell's Uphostery out on Johnson Creek. Did good work for not much $. There were some nice classics in their garage to look at while they did the work, too! Unfortunately, the right latch patch was re-pierced a couple of weeks later.

Anyway, Honda paid for all but $400 of a new top, as I am out of warranty (43k miles). It looks beautiful! I had Parker Johnstone do it, but he subbed it out to a guy in Beaverton they use.
