Is that what does the damage to all the parts cause i have a few shiney spots in equal places left and right.

Shiny bits aren't an issue.
The problem is that the bent arm rubs against the roof fabric and make a mother of a hole.

I am on my third roof - and I'm still under warranty.

There are actually three sizes: standard, jumbo and super jumbo.

Maybe you tried fitting the super jumbo?

I thought the main "rubbing" point was down the sides by the rear of the side windows, but having just been to see Dave @ Brayley Honda in Hemel, it seems that its up the top either side of the rear window!

Saying that, mine shows no sign of wear as yet - is this necessary? Mine is an -2-reg, so 7 years old, and it's a GT, so the soft top has been protected from the winter elements - thinking maybe I should leave it be since it has last this long without issue!

Any thoughts?

I got some of the fuzzy felt stuff that someone mentioned on here last year or so - think I will get these too though as mine is 9 yrs old and still on the original roof!

I have felt roof patches, but you can see wear on them from the arms, as my roof is constantly down.

Just ordered two of these - Top job Ronski

But if they wear out in a months time I WILL hunt you down

I have the same question too.

I recall something about the 04 and beyond roof having a different internal mechanism layout which is what causes the premature wear. I don't think it affects 99-03 cars.

This would also explain why the profiles of most people that seem to be after this fix shows later cars?
