Default Hardtop Room in the Back?

With the hardtop installed, either the oem from honda or one of the aftermarket ones, is there enough room in the back to cover up the soft top with the honda soft top cover that comes with the car. Im looking in to getting a hardtop and i haven't seen too many pictures with the hardtop installed but i would like to cover up my soft top to make the interior a bit cleaner once the hardtop is installed. Anyone been able to cover it up with the supplied cover or made their own cover?

I have not personally tried because i dont own a softtop cover, but i dont think there is enough room. It would easily fit in the middle area but on the sides i dont think it would work.

I haven't tried, but I'm sure you can, but you won't be able to tap in the plug.
It'll just be sitting there, loose.

if you search i know there was a pretty good thread about this last winter.
if you really want too do this try to pic a used one up for cheap and cut to allow for the defroster and latch locks etc.

From a basic straight fit perspective, no it won't fit over, the curve bulge is too big.

There are no room for the side hinges, defroster and also the 2 soft top stopper brackets which keep the soft top from activating when the hardtop is in place and the soft top button is pushed.

your best bet would be something like this https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=763989 scroll down a bit and you'll see the softtop covers for hardtop as well as other stuff

na it leaves room to attach the hardtop as well as the defroster plug. take a look at page 4 and you'll see a close up. the cover is just the size of the softop
