How is your top

'15 Roadster here with 8800 miles on it. I've only owned it since the end of December and have only opened the top a dozen times or so... So far

2011/2300 miles Never an issue with my top. Wonder how many '11 Roadsters are actually out there. I was told the Tsunami had wiped out part of the production. Not sure how true, but that's what two different dealers had told me.

'11 roadster...

they replaced the top once because of the hole, that was within the 2nd year when they still have the comprehensive warranty.

another hole last year, on the driver side and passenger side also shows sign of "thinning"..

dealer doesn't want to do anything even I've purchased the extended warranty...

anyway, patched those area on both sides, nothing happen since...

last summer the sensor that is under the top-lid gave up, costed CAD$1400 all together.


otherwise, it's been good.

The sensor wasn't replaced under the extended warranty?

basically NOTHING related to the top is covered under the extended warranty...

I don't know about U.S., but at least that's what happen in Canada..

Drive the roadster like it's meant to be. Top up and down constantly for me unless it was raining. If it was cold I had heated seats. If it was hot it was drive faster and AC heats. Put it through the trials and see if anything happens this way it's covered now and not after warranty is up.

That's what I do, If it's not raining the top is down. I want it to break before 3 yrs. old if it is going to.
