Never open your top in the cold.... especially if its an AP1 plastic window... (you can probably guess what happened)

did you make sure the rear window was folding correctly before letting it down?

i thought all plastic windows have that crease...crease is good because it'll fold in the same spot every time. the problem is when the window creases vertically and outwards...

wasn't there a tsb about this? honda recommended an optional roller weight thingy you put on the rear windows when dropping the top...it ensures the window folds inwards.

you are correct there is,

I didnt find out about it untill the crease was too much,

evidently my window does leak when it rains, even though there is a crack in it, but i am sure it will soon
