I just got off the phone with customer relations and I was told that I was the first person to call and complain about this issue. I figured since this seems like a MY00-02 issue and there have been people stating that they have had their tops replaced problem free from the dealership that something must have been mentioned before hand.

 

had it on my 06, got it warrantied. no problems so far. sorry no pics, forgot the mileage, but it looks exactly like the ones posted.

btw, i remember coming across a lot of other threads discussing the same tear issue + diy fixes that might be of some help as well

 

i had the same tear, 07.. 12,xxx miles. got it replaced under warranty

 

i have two on each sides plus the hangers that snap down when putting the top down punched to holes in the softtop ill post pics later tonight

 

MY00 w/ 67k miles. Top is down whenever weather permits. Car is garaged and hand washed.

 

Any chance we could sticky this for the time being, just until we get a result? It needs to stay on the front page if it's going to be a priority.

 

so they are replacing my soft top.. it will be coverd under warranty as a one time replacement.. thanks to the few that helped out

thanks
IDGHW in yO face!!

 

I have a 2003 with 59,000 mileage, it is out of warrenty. What should I do now?

 

my tear was at the frame latches on the passenger side, and i've seen a few others like this as well. I know this is not the same tear as the pics but after a bit of reasearch it did also seem like a design issue involving the elastic bands wearing to cause the latch to punch through the top. I've already taken care of it through honda after 2 months and a split cost decision. this was at approx. 48k miles and out of warranty.

New Orleans, LA.

 

This happen to me also + the other tear's everyone said this pisses me off I'm just going hardtop so i have to never deal with this again
