Default Top Down While Driving Mod

How many of you guys put the top down while driving. i did the mod. i love it. does it work well with the 02+ cuss of the glass? i know my plastic back sometimes get's all crinkled up when i put it down. haha but i just put it back up and everything is OK in a couple hours.

What is a good maximum speed? i've done 40MPH , but i know thats pushing it.

that seems like it would be a bad idea because of the extra resistance the system has to deal with due to the air

^Like I said.....4+ years of the mod...no issues. Not to mention the others who have had it done longer.

ROFL, 40MPH seems a little bit high. That top of yours would fold down pretty quickly!

I sure wish I had this mod the other day when it started to rain. Saw the rain falling up ahead on the HWY and had to pull over on the shoulder to a complete stop. I would have driven through it, but the rain was so heavy that I couldn't see 20 feet ahead of me

Honda didn't put this mod OEM to save their butts from owners seeing how fast they can go and still put their top down without breaking anything lol.

Think of how the top folds and how much wind that would be pushing on it at speed should you try to put it down.

I probably would be scared to put it down going any faster than 15mph
