Default Top Coming off while Driving
I was wondering if anyone knew how fast the car can go before the canvas top will rip off

Ah, it won't. Do you think Honda would be stupid enough to sell a car that the top will rip off of before hitting top speed?

There are big latches holding it on for a reason...

If the top is latched, which it should be while driving, it's not going to come off no matter how fast you're going.

About 75 mph. It keeps the speeding to a minimum.
