Addendum - this was my ZR's first oil/filter change. Didn't trust the dealer to do it, so took the free oil & filter to do the job myself. Still, I must admit that at age 63 with some health issues,...

Honda S2000 Antenna

Thanks, Merlin. Now I understand, as your issue is different than mine, Z_U_Later's, and others' where the wear occurs in a more central location. That's bad news since it suggests that there isn't...

Any chance you could post a pic or two of the hatch arm with the re-routed wire harness? Perhaps also a pic of the affected area on the canvas? Is the wear in the same area as Z_U_Later's tear and...

Top-wear/tear victims ~
While my issue is still relatively minor, I'm not at all happy with the cosmetics of the wear mark/indentation/crease, and I clearly want to avoid Z_U_Later's top...

I checked my roadster's headrests against those of my Acura TSX, and while the Z's rests are somewhat more "wobbly," it's not at all excessive IMO, and I cannnot imagine how the headrest posts could...
