Anyone know how reliable is the convertible top's motor? If used multiple times on most days, how long could it possibly last? It after all moves mechanically. I was just wondering bc I've never read anything about it. I'm just hoping it lasts a good while

 

I think you'll have a top frame mechanism failure before the motor goes.

 

I hope nothing goes wrong. I plan on keeping the S for a long while

 

3 years, 89k miles, and top goes down at least twice a day. So far so good!

I've been either lurking or posting on this forum since October of 2001 and I can't remember ever encountering anyone whose top mechanism failed.
I think we're in good hands here. Honda engineering rules!

 

It's great to know

 

Another thing to keep in mind: There are four electric motors that actuate the convertable top mechanism. What are the odds they'll all fail?

 

How many have to fail for the top to be a no-go? Murphy's Law and all that...
