I saw the soft top last week when I pulled the hard top off. I put it up to see if it worked... then back down for a quick cruise with the top off. So basically never, to answer your question.

Everytime I drive the car, so in total about 6-8 times a day nearly everyday.

The topdown season around here is April through October. My S is my DD, but with the rate of tearing I don't put the top down more than probably 10 times a YEAR now.

I woul dnot worry too much about the life of the top motor. Knowing Honda, I am sure it was built to take far more than the abuse that we give it.

Mine only goes up and down in the cooler months. Try to keep it down as much as possible.
