P500 Honda Roof - Towing

[c04678]

Prior to purchasing a roof for my 500, are the Honda roofs able to be towed on or do they need to be removed?
For that matter, any roofs that fit the 500.
I really do not want to have to remove the roof when towing.
I did search the form, but came up with no results.

I have had my P500 on an open trailer both forward and backwards with no issues. (Honda plastic roof)

No problem with towing with mine on either.I tow mine from Connecticut to Vermont

I too have had no issues with towing with the roof on. I have the scratch resistant one piece windshield that you can open at the bottom to vent and to access the hood and have not had any issues with leaving it on. I have found that it is a good idea to use weather strip adhesive on the rubber weather stripping along the sides of the window however. They will blow off.

No issues at all except as @Morpheus said about the windshield that weather strip cannot withstand the wind.

I have not had any problems either, and have trailered it all over Florida.

Pay attention to fasteners and clamps. I thought my Rhino's roof may have been loose but forgot to check it before towing. Folded perfectly in half (probably doing 80). Costly idiot move on my part....

I have no problem towing on open trailer but have lost rubber weather strip on windshield.
