Default Convertable Top Cover replacement

The Convertable Top Cover Honda supplies is not very good, to put it nicely. Where are you suppose to store it when the top is down and you have more than one thing in the trunk?

So I have been looking for an after market replacement for the Convertable Top Cover and have only found one. It is out of Germany at a cost of DM 568,10 plus DM85.00 for shipping.


Has anyone else found anything else????

Very Good..But then top get dirty.
So maybe the question should be how do you keep the interior of the top clean?

I am not sure which cover you saw, but someone onces posted one that was like a bag or something like that.

There are a few spots that are are a little dirty on the inside of the top, but not too bad. I would just take a wet rag and wipe it down.

Any links or pictures to the German cover? The one replacement I've seen ... I didn't like the look of. I agree that the oem tonneau cover is one of the more annoying things about the car.

Have fun,
Derek

I don't think it's so bad. After a couple of difficult times putting on, it goes on and off in a snap. Since I have a beater, I only drive the S200 with the top down and the boot on. Works for me.

Clean it when you wash your car.

Just beware, the only problem is the secure pins ... Mine had two falling off after using it for awhile while the car is pretty brand new and I've had it replaced by Honda with no issues.

While the cover should be folded inwards and fits into the boot nicely if you have nothing in there, the middle lower slot opening should fit in there nicely. That's what it was probably designed for anyway or a golf bag.
