rear plastic window snapped :(

[tamay_s2k]

hey guys
lastnite wen i was putting the top down in my s2000. the rear plastic window was folding weird (it does this sometimes) so i stopped to fix the fold and the window just snaps into like 7 different pieces. im guessing this happened because
1. the plastic is really warn out
2. i think it iced up because of the cold weather.
so a word of advice...please watch out for ur softtops in this weather because if they ice up and u try and put the top down, it will shatter.
can anyone recommend me anyone who sells the glass softtops and does installation because now im driving around with ductape on my rear window and quite frankly it is embarrassing. need to get this done asap!!:(
atleast it gives me a reason now 2 have 2 convert tot he glass softtop :)

tried topsonline in the states? took about a week to freight the top here.

Look up the eBay user hindsightseeing on American eBay. I purchased my ez on stay fast cloth roof wit a glass window from him and after months of research he was the cheapest I could find anywhere by like $100. Topsonlne wouldn't even match him and shipment was quick as. I got it installed at Coburg auto trimmers but I would highly recommend not having it done by them. Your going to love ur new roof when you get it. It totally transforms the car.

had exactly the same problem u had a fortnight ago. just ordered a robbins from topsonline, great service + delivery time.

[tamay_s2k]

thanks guys for the help
i think i will most likely buy off the ebay seller hindsightseeing
to do the glass roof in the s2000, is there any modifications that need 2 do be done to the standard frame?
and JamieP, how much did it cost for installation?

[kaho86922]

just curious how much for shipping to melbourne? anyone got exprience?

[slackzy]

both hindsightseeing and topsonline have a fixed international shipping cost differing by $5.. i think its $125 vs $120 (both in USD)

Go hard top! I can't wait till my soft top just rips apart...

[JamieP]

It cost me $700 to get my roof installed which is the second cheapest price in melb. Theirs an auto trimmer in beronia that does it for $650. It's a pretty big job but no major modifications are needed to be done.

nah not a fan of hardtop man
id prefer using my s2k the way it was built
plus wen that roof is down, its a completely different car with such a nice sounding engine!!!!
in my area im known as the guy whos roof is never seen.
as long as it aint raining.the roof is down.
some of my mates who ive known for like 6 months saw my top up for the 1st time last nite and im usually with em all the time rofl

[foowoei69]

That's true. That what stops me from getting a hard top
If they made one that u can fold up and stick in ur boot. But is still light and easy to put on and taje of. Then I'm keen.

[foowoei69]

Plus the price is a bit of a bitch too. I'd rather fi or something else for that kinda money.

[JamieP]

I love the look of the hard top, but the fact that the s2k is convertible at the flick of a switch was one of the selling points for me when I purchased it. I like having the luxury of treating my car like a skank from a girls gone wild video I.e getting her to drop her top when ever I please ;p it just wouldn't be the same car without that luxury now that I'm so used to it

[3AM]

yeah me too i dont really see the point in buying a convertible to make it a hardtop. would of just bought a hard top car instead.

[blackouT]

love cruising at night with the top down! even when its cold just crank up the heater and go! cant wait for summer! hard top looks nice but always prefer the convertible hehe

[Riviera_TypeS]

It gives better security and sound-proofing though.... :)

To OP, glass soft top will be the best mod you ever have... although it does have smaller area than the plastic one...

yea man!!!!
thats how us s2k owners roll man
top down..as long as it aint raining.
and if it does get cold..put up ur windows. my softop is purely there for protection from theft and rain. that is it.....i hate it up
cant even hear my exhaust or intake to the full =[

[foowoei69]

Actually personally I never used to like convertibles. Few reasons little ****s with knives and most lose body rigidity and gain extra weight and so on.
I bought the s2k coz it's the only rwd car they got. Besides the nsx. Don't get me wrong. I love my S. It doesent have the downsides of most covertibles. But I only put the top down when I'm away from traffic.

[Giraffe]

LOL dont you get cold man with your top always open

[blackouT]

wear a jumper and the heater up will solve the problem haha :D

[tamay_s2k]

LMAOOO

man thats why we have a heater ;)
i sometimes wear a jacket and a scarf even.

[VeYzZii]

as long as it aint raining.the roof is down.
