I was going to mention that. Everyone in NY Metro knows they have a tsb for this. Part of the tsb is to file down those weld spots on the frame that are causing our tops to tear. I'm getting mine done at the dealer as soon as my parts come in. If you can catch this while you are still under warranty it's covered. If not you will have an up hill battle with Honda.
Anybody have any pictures of this? I wasn't aware of this problem with the S. The wear spots on mine seem to come from the internal cross-bars the top is stretched across.

Just to ask again, do you guys recomend the EZ-ON or is the Robbins worth the extra cost?

I went with the EZ-ON, and it came in today ! I just ordered it Monday. I was going to wait until the end of August to buy and install, but I went ahead and decided to do it now.

I plan on installing mine next weekend (I have a 3 day weekend). I'll let you know how it went with the EZ-ON brand after I have it installed.

Keep us posted Scott!
I'm going to order my top today from topsonline.com.
Any feedback on these guys? I got the link from other s2ki'ers and they seem like a good supplier (good BBB rating too)

Well, the new top is on and looking good - the manual for the EZ-ON has a lot to be desired. Now just trying to figure out how to get the !@%&@! plastic re-installed in the back, put the seats back in, and then I'll be done ! Woo-Hoo !

The glass window is a lot smaller than the plastic - but since I rarely have the top up, I'm not concerned. Besides, most people are behind me anyway

Before putting your new top on, has anyone try to fix the bars, shave, or put something on the bar so that the top doesn't rip again, in the same areas. want to see pictures too if you guys have.
