Maintenance
Dust is the main cause of creaks or
other sounds coming from the
convertible top.
Regularly clean the body seals with
glass cleaner and a soft cloth. Do not
use a scraper or de-icing chemicals
to remove frost, snow, or ice from
the top or the rear window.
Every three to six months,
depending on how often the top is
folded, rub a thin film of Shin-Etsu
Silicon Grease (available from your
Honda dealer, P/N 08798-9013) onto
the seals wherever they touch the
convertible top or each other.
To reduce the possibility of leaks:
Do not lean or sit on an open door.
Do not push or pull the door glass
to open and close the door.
The convertible top seals are
designed to promote the flow of
water off the roof. Spraying high-
pressure water directly on the
seals can distort them, causing a
leak. Use only a low-pressure
water stream when using a hose,
and avoid commercial car washes.
