Can anybody recommend a good person or place to inatall a soft top on a S2000 ?

do it yourself it doesnt require any special tools. I install my buddy s2000 soft top. its not as hard as you think. the hardest part is removing all the plastic interior piece

Welcome aboard! Top replacement is not technically difficult but it is time consuming. Count on a day and a half for a detailed job. As noted lots of remove and replace. An installer, dealer or otherwise, will add $1,000 to $1,500 in labor on top of the cost of the top. There are 4 main threads here on the board which will tell you everything you need to know:
1) Forums/North American Central/ North Texas/ top blue stickies 3rd one down/"Top&Cost" by Clovis.
---Clovis has done more tops then anyone.....read his thread!, Thread gives cost and manufacturer recommendations.
2) Forums/Under the Hood/ top blue stickies threads 2,9, and 13 from the top. Info on retrofits, OEM, etc. Installs.

I have done 7 AP1 tops now in Utah and Nevada. I only use Robbins Tops. Tops Online gives free ship if you mention Clovis and S2Ki (see 1 above). Tops Online also list 3 "professional" shops in Utah, but I have no experience with them. Temps are dropping now and the task is harder in the cold (unless you have a well heated garage). Are you prepping for winter or planning for spring? AP1 or AP2? What year? Lots of choices ( I.e. Glass or plastic, defroster, color, cloth or vinyl). I love maintaining the breed. Let me know if you have any questions or need any help. The only "special tool" is a Rivet Puller which I have. If you DIY there are a few plastic fasteners you will consume as well. I have all the spare parts (AP1) you may damage. Feel free to PM me if you have top questions or would like to discuss.

Thanks for all your information.
I have a 2004. I have
bought a robins top (2540). If you any interest in installing it, give me a price or how many cases of beer ? I live in Kaysville.

Thanks

I am deployed right now. I will be home in January . I might be able to secure us a lift in Utah. My wife's uncles dad has a lift in his garage. I could have it done in less then 5 hours, especially with a lift. What clutch are you going with?
