The convertible top on my Honda S2000 has ripped for the second time. The first time the top was replaced under warranty. Under independent examination the top was found to have an engineering defect where the fabric top rubs against a sharp metal component of the top frame causing a tear.
The contact owns a 2006 Honda S2000. The contact stated that the metal link on the convertible top was placed directly over his skull. In the event of a crash, his head would strike the metal link and cause injuries. The manufacturer advised the contact to take the vehicle to the dealer to check if the issue was due to a manufacturer defect. The contact feels that this is a safety hazard and wants the manufacturer to provide a hard top. The current and failure mileages were 16,000. The convertible top has a protruding metal joint and other unshielded metal pieces. Updated 07/21/09.
