I have the same problem on my MY00, but it's more an annoyance than anything else. Like someone else said, I roll my windows down before putting down the top, so I don't usually notice the problem.

I'm planning on having my dealership take care of the problem with my next scheduled maintanence.

I know it's a hassle to go to the dealership for repairs like this, but I believe that if we don't report these problems then Honda won't see it as a widespread problem and may possibly refuse to warranty this problem for others.

LT'S S2k, never mind, I found emc2's post using the Search function and PM'd him on availability of his one-touch modules.

I'd rather fix the problem once and for all instead of wasting my time at the Honda Dealer.

I have to get mine fixed the next time I go in. The official word from the AHM representative and our board member, Woodwork, is that they have a redesign of the redesign that he hopes when installed will work properly this time.

Wow! 70% of owners have had this problem at least once, including 11% that have had it at least twice!

Unbelievably high defect rate!

(I had the problem repaired under warranty, but it is now back...)

Mine broke then fixed itself then broke again.. I have no idea. It just seems to work when it wants to.

Mine has worked every time the last 6 weeks, but every now and then before then it didn't work once in awhile. SInce it works most of the time, I am going to live with it. I have the TSB at home just in case I need to take it in.

Same with mine. It stopped working for a week or so last year, started working again, and failed intermittently once or twice. It has been working just fine for months at this point. I never got it into the dealer while it was still broken.
