Default Top Replacement

As promised, I talked with Gerlanda (service advisor) at Autoway Honda in Clearwater. Gerlanda is familiar with this problem as of last year with my S and is now aware of the TSB. My S goes into the shop tomorrow for a day, day and a half... During our conversation Gerlanda said if there are other S's that fit the requirements of the TSB (3 year / 36k miles) to give him a call; so here is his number 727.412.7824. It seems just that simple and if not I am sure Gerlanda would have said so...

EDIT: Changed phone number

We checked out my top at the last C&C and it was - somehow - fine. The bars are smooth, no signs or wear, nothing. This top thing is so weird - some 07s are getting tops at 5K miles!

They based the time frame around the 3 year 36 K mile warranty. This could get real ugly for Honda finally admitting there is a problem and then again they could have not done this since the S is no longer in production. This is a BIG expense for Honda; just can't quite figure it out but damn glad they did! Just might get that Civic now...

Well,,, looks like I won't be getting that Civic!

Donald just shot down the deal so looks like I get to release my pit bull attorney on Honda! I will file a claim with Honda customer service tonight and followup with Blake tomorrow to file a legal complaint.

Step one complete, I talked with Amanda at Honda and here is thier stance, If there is a hole then they will replace the top. If you have a hole/tear/wear mark and placed a protective patch on it then they will NOT replace the top. The "LACK or" Power of Dreams.

That really pisses me off. Because you took steps to solve the problem you have phucked yourself and they wont fix it. Not that it would matter for me because I have an 03 but still. They guys that try to do for themselves get shit on and the people that want everyone else to solve their problems get helped.

It is rediculous. If your attorney needs more ammo have everyone in here that gets denied by Donald get in touch with him too. Class action !!
