I just noticed a rip in my soft top when I went through the touchless wash, it almost looks like someone poked a small knife through it.... what can I do to patch this up? Will Honda warranty cover it?

 

Lesson #1: NEVER take a convertable through a car wash!

It's unfortunate but I doubt Honda will cover it. You'd be better off trying to get the car wash company to pay for it.

Good luck,

Take it in to a dealer you should still be under warranty.I had 2 holes in my top also...the elastic went out on the top and punctured 2 holes in the top while i was lowering it.

 

do a search, theres quite a few posts about this already.

 

Honda told me that they wouldnt cover it since it wasnt certified by them I have a hole where the latch punched through and where the bar rubs against the side of the top... anyone want to chime in on how to fix this or how to get honda to get them to fix this?

 

New Top, I dont think you can patch it.

 

we fixed this top before, with black silicone?? lol.. on a miata.. but it did not look horrible.. thats what some dealerships to do sell the cars, i know we have at toyota..

 

^ See I tried to patch mine when it ripped but I had nothing but bad luck. I would just get a new top and be done with it.

 

samething happened to me

i took my car to dealer..

they ordered the part and got a whole new top after 3 days from the time i made a claim...


of course my car is still under warranty

 

I spoke with a local dealership and they said it is covered under warranty..... it's an 05 this shouldn't be happening this early on but oh well.
