Convertable Top

Hello - I have been looking at buying an S2000 for quite awhile and have been price shopping and preparing for it.


Now one quick question is - I have done research and I know the 00 and 01 models have the plastic back window - and that is definately something I want to avoid. However, if I find an 00-01' s2000 that's a good deal I don't want to pass it up just because of that factor...


Does anyone know how much it would be - if possible - to replace the convertable top to the 02 and above models to get the glass back window???


Thanks so much guys

Yes, it can be done and has been by quite a few people. As for the cost, I can't help you there.

I know for a FACT that the last year of production of the S2000 is 2003!!!!!
After that, it will be the S2200 under an assumed name.

Thanks, atleast now I know that.

Man, I hate car shopping more than anything. Theres none in my area, and half the ones that are that seem like they are a good deal are a scam. Like I just saw a listing for a 2002 with 36k miles for 7,200. What is that???

$7200? Make sure it isn't a salvage.
As for the top, check ebay. I've seen new tops with glass rear windows for around $600, but I don't know about the quality.

I replaced my top on my '01 about 3 years ago. Check out Robbins Auto Top Company convertible tops. The pics of the spa yellow is me. They did it for free since I was the first S they ever worked on. I am very happy with the glass window they gave me. I think you can get one with a defroster now too. I don't think they are too expensive. They donated one as the top raffle prize to the S2000 Club of America back in '05 and I believe that person sold it somewhere around $600. Robbins can ship it to a 3rd party installer near you with the directions.
