Thats shocking. I'd insist that the metal frame that supports the soft top is replaced, and that if any edges are sharp, that it's machined and repainted before a new roof goes on. Or it's just going to keep happening.

MY05 (car was 2 years old when I had it) start of tears on both side (shoulder height) both roof and frame replaced by Honda UK with no hassle. I think it really depends on who you speak to.

No point in keep swapping out the the roof without the frame.
