Default 2 quick questions

1. My top has a hole in it. I am curious about how much it will cost to replace it. I have the glass top.

2. I've noticed when I accelerate to over 80mph my car feels almost unstable. Could that be because of my tires or because its just a convertible?

if you don't patch it up - I would recommend having Slows2k do it (installing a new top), yes he charges, but it beats the stealership. He did mine.

I fixed my hole with some TearAid type B I order from Cabela's. It works great and is not noticable from the outside. No leaks and it has been on for probably almost a year. Plus it is cheap.

There is a thread about soft top holes in the Ask Honda sub forum that has pictures, etc.

hardtopguy.com sells OEM tops for around 700ish brand new. Still have to install it though, I think there's a DIY on here somewhere.

Mine's got a couple in the usual "wear" spots, and Black Silicone on the inside sealed them up for me. No leaks here.and you can hardly tell they're there.

You could always just wait till summer and Go Topless all the time

Replacing a top isn't something you want to just DIY with no experience. Have someone who knows what they are doing replace it.
