Hoang,
Thanks man. So, when are you going to sell (with installation) your top to me?

if i were in your situation, i would stitch it up like someone mentioned a couple of replies above and save the money for a nice hardtop.

Thanks man. This incident gave me an excuse to upgrade the top. And as I mentioned in my original post, nothing else was damaged so, I don't feel pissed off as I should be.
How far are u to West Palm Beach ???

I just went through this unfortunately.
I got a quote from honda for $2500!!! So, my insurance company cut me a check for $2100 and I'm going to the guy who painted my car to fix it.
$2500 - $500 deductable + $100 for tint = $2100
Haven't gotten it fixed yet because i didn't want the car in the shop for the super meet. I actually sowed it up with a needle and thread last weekend. It took me 2.5 hours but holds the rain out pretty decent. I tried the duct tape to no avail.
good luck. I feel for ya. Good thing it's not rainy season

Fellas. My insurance finally came out and assessed the damages a $1496.77. Thats $1038.85 for the top and $360.00 for 9 hours of labor. It is definitely close to what I got quoted if I go with the Robbins but about $300.00 short if I go with OEM. What do you guys think? Should I just go for the quote or fight to get a couple more clams?
and just pay honda for labor.. lol
