I drove up to the dealership this morning and explained to the service rep that my top is wearing from the inside and has actually ripped through on the drivers side. He looked at it and said he would need to get his manager.
When the manager came out she said oh I have seen this before order him a new top.

I was like "WTF"!!!

They are going to call me in a couple of days to bring my car in to have the install done.

I am still in shock.

 

Maybe he's just "ordering" it for you but you'll end up paying for it?

 

ya if your car is under warranty they will usually replace it for ya

 

Can you take some pictures of the wear? I might have the same thing and I would like to go to a Honda dealer and see what they say.

 

yeah....is your car still under warrenty.....?







peace

 

Wish my experience with the top-wear problem had ben as simple. I paid for the install and Honda covered the top.

 

No not anymore

but when i called my local honda dealership to get a quote for installation on the new top he said if i was under warranty they would've done it for me

but anyway im getting my a new softtop with glass from jeff (hardtopguy)

since i work at a BMW dealership im going to have them put on my softtop for $115 woo hoo 9 hours of labor that saves me somemoney!!

 

Soundguy, do you have an extended warrantee?

Ultimately, that's nice that your dealer went this way with you, especially if you're out of warrantee. It seems they have discretion with this kind of thing. After three years, I brought my car in to get my seat bolster replaced (the left thigh bolster had completely crushed down) and the top replaced. The bolster was treated as a defect, and the top was "good will" to replace a wear item. They covered both under the warrantee.

 

I wonder if it yours tore in the same place mine is wearing. I've got a wear spot that would be over my left shoulder when I'm sitting in the driver's seat. I took the car to Robertson's Palmdale Honda, and they would like to do a fix on it before it gets a hole or tear, and I need a new top. It's already documented since I've got 34,900 miles on my '05 now.

 

does it really takes 9 hours to install a softtop?????????? that seems crazy!!
