No point in taking it in now. Ideally we want to keep the mechs and techs outta the car for as long as possible. When problems begin to appear, this is the time to take it in because we no longer have a choice.

[QUOTE=Jim21680,May 27 2009, 07:28 PM]Should I wait till the car is almost out of warranty to take it in for the TSB?

So how does a TSB cover a car indefinitely, long after it is out of warranty? Does this mean Honda will replace our tops more than once if the wear holes appear again?

Nothing covers the car indefinitely.

Everyone seems to recommend that we have the TSB done before the top actually tears. If its torn due to the same problems, they don't cover it? And hypothetically speaking, if the top was torn somewhere else for whatever reason (vandalism, normal wear, etc.), will they still service it?

looks like i need to pick up an 05-09 since there aren't any TSB available for previous years regarding the softtop...

The top bar elastic straps was the issue for for me. The top was brand new so it wasn't a strap wear issue. As the top was lowered the roof frame support bar (first one right above your head) wasn't being pulled back into the proper position and the windshield clamps were tearing through the top when I lowered it. I ripped through two tops before figuring out the cause. Honda replaced both tops 100% without an argument. Now whenever I lower the top, I use my hand and push the support bar back into the proper position before lowering it completely.

Just had honda replace my top here is my story.
