Add my 2005 to the list of cars with tears in the top. Mine formed right where I see everyone else's -- the upper most "corner" where one of the metal bars is pressing.

What's my recourse? I know a lot of people have gotten Honda to replace it under warranty since it's a bad design. How do I approach the dealer about that? I haven't really had any dealings with the service dept since I've only had the car since October.

And if they refuse to replace the top, do I just find another dealer? Or is a repair job going to look like shit? (the tear is about 1/4 inch long)

 

Pics?

 

if you're under warranty, they will fix and diagnose the problem.

 

mine is an 07 with 10k miles and they fix it no question ask.

 

^same here. if it's still under warranty, just bring it in and they should replace it.

 

yeah sorry to hear that, take it in they should fix it without any problems

 

Great. I just remember reading that some dealers didn't want anything to do with it and tried to blame the owner, even under warranty.

The 2006+ tops were re-designed internally, right? I need to make sure they use that one?

 

I don't think any of the tops were redesigned to fix this issue.

 

Maybe I am mistaken...I thought the 2006 or 2007 tops had a modification made. Hmm, oh well.

 

I remember reading about people with '06+ S2000s developing wear, too.
