I have a tear in mine too, right near one of the seams on the passenger side. Doesnt seem to be due to rubbing, seems to just be a bad sewing job. It's a robbins top w/glass window that took me and my friends upwards of 10hrs to put in (including several trips to the hardware store for rivets, rivet gun, etc). After all that friggin work and then to see a tear in the top, really makes me want to get a hardtop and be done with it.

 

My car is out of factory warranty by 1 year and 1000 miles. and I don't have any kinda of extended warranty on it. it was just a "good will" offer by honda which i gladly accepted.

^ and yes top replacement is about 9-10 hours
