However, it doesn't leak and I don't often drive with the roof up so it doesn't bother me too much

Personally I think this is shocking - consumible or not. A roof should last more than 5 yrs.

They have the same issue in the US apparently.

Apparently there is fixing/ repair kit available to honda owners in the US but I read a thread the other day from 2005 owner that went to Honda in the US and they said nope to a warranty claim. Said that they would apply the repair kit - I will try and get the part number (appreciate that it will/ probably is a different code in the UK)

Same problem as Dreamer - although spotted before any major damage to roof and soft pads put on offending elbow joint by me to minimise rubbing.

Dealer confirmed every new S2000 they have seen recently has the same rubbing from when the roof is folded.

Honda UK response (to Dealer) is yes they are aware and dont intend to do anything....
