This product
is a replacement for the factory elastic straps that seem to wear out after
2 years. The straps are located between two of the top support bars
and help the top to fold properly. When the straps lose their
"stretch" the convertible top will not lower all the way down because the support
bars are not pulled into position as the top folds. Many
owners don't know they have the problem. In fact, I've heard of Honda dealers that are
unaware of the problem. Try First Class shipping if this is
all you're ordering - it will save you a couple bucks. |
Here's an example of how far the top lowers when it doesn't fold properly. Notice the frame sits 3 inches or more above the level of the trunk. | ||
On plastic window tops, this is what it should look like when it goes all the way down. Glass window tops will have about 1" of the frame showing above the edge of the trunk. Click the Details link to learn more. |
