Never ever on the '05. Used it once or twice on the '01. I think they're both in the garage attic.

 

I can't really argue with people who never use it but I guess I'm the exception also. Mine isn't a daily driver so it sits in the garage with the convertible top cover on. If I'm not going to use the car for a couple of days I have a fabric cockpit cover that I put on to keep the dust out of the cockpit.

If I am going to make a stop I put the cockpit cover on. It's not as secure as top up but it keeps the inside cooler and keeps leaves out, etc. The cockpit cover takes almost no space in the trunk.

I think the car looks better with the CTC on. But having said that, for an overnight trip with my wife and a little luggage I leave convertible cover home. If we want to put the top up and the trunk is full, my wife is going to hold the folded CTC in her lap? Not any time soon.

I've never had much trouble using the thing but it is a minor PITA, including getting the clothes dirty unless the car happens to be spotless at the time, not a job for dress clothes. When I do have the CTC off, I leave it flat and in the house. Somebody said they keep it under the bed which is a good idea. I kept mine folded a couple of times and it was always harder to install afterwards, particularly if the temp was cool.

 

I don't think you'll find an argument on that point.

 

I got a Veilside tonneau cover, and cut it in half so if fits in the trunk. It's still a PITA to put away, but it looks 100% better than the OEM cover or no cover.

 

WOW..where do i get one of those veilside covers???? and how much are they?

 

The Veilside Web site is:

http://www.veilside.com/

They have a list of distributors on their web site. I bought mine from...

MVP Motorsports, Inc.
940-683-8282 - Retail
940-683-3575 - Dealers
www.MVPmotorsports.com

I paid $423 for the veilside tonneau cover, and $110 for shipping. Then I paid a local body shop $200 to paint it for me. they cut it in half for free and then I bought some hardware to bolt the two pieces back together (cutting the tonneau cover in half allows you to store it in the trunk). If you don't cut the cover in half, then if it rains you have to choose between leaving the cover by the road side, or letting rain into the cock pit. Neither choice appealed to me.

 

I guess I am the exception. I fold mine in the trunk and use it everyday. I think the car looks great with it on. Very clean.

 

I wish Honda incorporated an automatic tonneau cover in the s2k like on higher end convertibles. :sigh:

 

I wish the tonneau cover could sell for more money than $50.

 

got spider webs on mine. i guess i should use it, cuz the inside of the top when down is pretty dusty looking.
