never knew it has such a cool roof reclining mechanism, never was a huge del sol fan but can see it's appeal now, it's a cute little sports car

antsolja I was looking to buy a Mazda MX5 at the time, but then I came across the Del Sol and when I found out the roof was like this I was hooked, took me a year to find one with the spec I wanted, and I do use the roof as often as possible! ...I like how people stop to watch it lol

nice! i wonder if its possible to modify it to go faster, it looks super cool but it takes a long time

antsolja it's not too bad, think it's around 50 seconds if you're ready to unlock the middle latch quick

This is oddly satisfying. I wouldn't buy one and I feel like the roof system is bit clumsy, but that's also what's so neat on this car and makes it unique. Edit: It's like having roof elevator / container for your roof.

what I learned from having a del sol. It's better on the handles to close both at the same time.

Hi Thanks for up loading and being a fan of the Honda Del Sol! Can I ask where you can get the billet center roof lock lever? If you made it can you please advise how? Many Thanks!

which models have the auto roof?I want to buy a del sol when I move to Germany but noone says if it's auto roof or not... :-/

I believe the electric roof was available as an option on all models so some have it and some don't, mines a VTi and a friend has an SiR both with the transtop roof. (Mines the one in this video)

@crxdelsolsir 7 жыл бұрын

Not available as option in ALL markets. The SiR is an import model (Japanese designation only). SiR is also a designation for getting the top spec Engine (not other options). You can have a base Delsol (no other option) but fitted with the B16a and it will be designated SiR. Electric roof available only in Japan, Europe(UK, Germany, France possibly other European countries) and South America (not sure if all or some south american countries only). Electric roof never available in North America (Canada, USA, Mexico). Electric roof never available in Australia

Is that a mod tho? They didn't do that back in 95? I always assumed it was manual targa top.

@alexanderrom3812 4 жыл бұрын

They did you could buy it with a electric roof from the factory.

@94crx31 2 жыл бұрын

It's either a roof you have to manually take off or the electric roof as shown in the video. I personally have the manual option which is way faster to take off since the roof doesn't really weigh that much

This was one over the engineered car but that what Honda is famous for and what a great fun car just as good as any mx of the time. It's such a shame Honda did not compete with the mx5 as we could have had some great 2 seater convertibles. Wish honda we get back into niche cars
