Hi Brad
Two points.
Point one: I know that Looker Honda Nottingham have had 2 cars with Hard top Problems. I know Moor Deybe was one but not sure who the other was (a black one). This I know because they asked me to take my car in so they could try it with my car, and in the end they replaced 2 under warranty.
Point Two; It does'nt matter if Honda UK have never had a claim before, they do now, so they should replace the top. What they are saying, if my engine goes "BANG" and it needs replcing, they replace it, full stop.

I had my hardtop replaced at the start of last winter. The part that mates with the roof rail was distorted upwards causing a lot of wind noise. There's more to the overall hardtop story for my car, posted elsewhere. Right now, but hard top is on, fits perfectly, and I love it.

i've had a similar problem, my hardtop was giving my major wind noise above 75mph, even louder than the soft-top, so i took it in and they noticed that the front edge was bowing, first they tried to blame it on the fact that i didn't have the storage rack, but i showed them the manual on how to properly store it, and while listing no recommendation of using the additional rack, as of now i'm waiting for my dealer to get a reply from honda to get it replaced, since there's pretty much nothing else you can do. instead maybe i would rather just trade it in for a soft-top with glass window and frame, cause simply looking at the top you can tell its going to bend here and there while not being supported by the car.

Fitted mine a month ago after it has sat on its stand for 10 months, prongs only needed slight provocation to engage, front clips none at all.
There is now some squeeking coming from the rear seal I think, but its in for its first service next week, so I may let them grease the seal

When I had problems convincing Dixons Honda that they had fitted the wrong tyre to my S - I printed out the string from here and took it to show them... New tyre and new wheel within a week! Why not print this out - it proves to the dealer (and ultimately - Honda) that you are not the only one in the UK with this HT problem!
