HONDA S2000 - Manual (Page 83)

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 3 to 6 months, depending on
how often the top is folded, rub a
thin film of Shin-Etsu Silicon Grease
(available from your dealer, P/N
08798-9013) onto the seals wherever
they touch the convertible top or
each other.
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.
Maintenance To reduce the possibility of leaks:
