I tried it once, pure torture, and then it took all of those 2 minutes to store it in my garage, where it has been ever since.

I learned this trick from an old cartoon: wave hand, say "Open Sesame". They never taught me how to close it, though.

I never use the boot cover.

Way easier than the old POS I had for my Corvair!

Take it back to the dealer and have them adjust the convertable stops. I had the same problem till they did that. Now it stays down even at 120+

I followed lovetodrive's advice. Took my new S2000 back to the dealer. The dealer contacted Honda and had a technical bulletin faxed. There is an adjustment and it works. I was told the mechanic had to invest $30 in tools to do the job. I also found the boot is now easier to put on and take off. It makes sense - if the top is sitting at the right height, it would be easier to install and uninstall the boot.
