i have a 01 with 43k on it and i just noticed the tear on the driver side back corner
it sits in the heated garage all winter and top down during the summer and my tear
is getting bigger
i have after market warranty and it says that it does not cover convertibles so would the dealer take car of it?

I'm going through the same problem. I have a huge tear on the passenger side just behind the seat, which I believe is caused from the top not folding correctly.

Yes, I do put my top up and down alot.

Mine is a 03 with 68k miles, and I don't remeber when the tear started occuring.
i also have huge hole and i own 03 with 23k miles... will honda cover it?

you have a 07 it should be hassle free for you to replace. I have 6k miles on my 06. The tear is where yours is but hasn't gone all the way through yet. I will be taking it in soon

I don't know why you need this thread to get your 07 top replaced, but anyways.

I don't have a photo but my car developed a hole after about an year of ownership, and I can tell you that my hole is HUGE.
Without any joke, it's about 2 or 3 inches long and I see bright sunlight casting into the interior when I drive in day time.

But yes, I got my top covered under warranty and I'm just waiting to schedule a repair date.
