Hey Guys, purchased a Hard Coat 2 piece Honda Windshield and Fabric Mid Panel, wondering thoughts on roofs, hard vs soft, and curious if the 3 seat roofs from Honda fit the 5 seater to just leave the rear open? I like the looks of the Hard Roof but have heard from others they really add some engine noise under it, thought maybe the soft wouldn't? I also see Honda says a windshield is required for the soft top? I would think there has to be a easy way to fabricate it if a guy wanted to run with out a windshield?

Thanks

I put the 3 seater roof on my 5 seater and it works good. Had to notch the plastics in 2 spots but no big deal. Had a Bimini soft top made for the back

Hows the noise running around with a Hard Top? So nice and quiet without a roof or windshield, hate to change that. Debating if I want a roof all the way to the back or just cover the front.
Does Honda just recommend not towing with soft top or have there been issues by guys that have tried?

You wouldn't happen to have a pic of what yours looks like with the 3 seat roof on the 5 seat?

I removed the rear ROP bars and nets and added the P3 hard roof with no mods needed. Looks exactly like the P3, but with rear doors.

Did the same thing. Only put the soft half on when someone is in the back which is rare. The Bimini is made from Sunbrella, same as boat covers, and snaps on and off.

I'm really leaning toward doing this..Do you have a picture of your roof from the rear so I can see how it looks and sits with the notches. Thank you.

If I had to do it over I would get the alien shade roof, not only for the sound but the height too.
