plastic rear window

m5spiess · 01-14-2006, 03:21 PM

hello,

I recently bought a 00 S2000 and just love it. It needs a new rear plastic window though (plastic worn, can barely see through anymore) and I wondered if there is any aftermarket place that sells them for a good price.

thanks

Felix

Glass. No comparison.
Be well.

While the above comments are right on, a glass window is preferable for a variety of reasons, you can't just 'get a glass one' in your current top as they suggest. The plastic window is larger and folds in the middle which, obviously, glass cannot do. The 02+ windows are smaller and the top folds above and below the glass.

That said, you can retrofit an 02+ top on an 00-01 with some minor modifications. This requires replacing the ENTIRE top, not just the window.

Yep. Here comes a real shocker: Halo's absolutely right.
That's what I get for postin' less than 20 lines.
Be well.
