JoJo,

See "Link #1" posted earlier, specifically: ~$250 and Billman250 post

pm "frofro24" for the price of a vinly window (also from link #1) frofro24 post

No matter what, the install will be time consuming (but not hard - based on what I've read).

Here's some more recent posts:

slightly older xviper post (very trustworthy)
where to buy a vinyl window 2
pm "congo" if you want detailed instuctions on the install...

It sounds like you can do the replacement for about $200-250 and a weekend in a garage. Good thing my MY02 has a glass window! But YOU can see traffic out the rear!!

hey im the guy who has the 01 torn vinyl to fixed vinyl. i did it by myself altogether, no help from the body shop buddy, that was only the carbon lips job... ; ) and i DID NOT have to replace the entire top. it was just 200 something for the window from factory, came with 12 month warrnty. ask away with the questions, i got answers. and it took me less than 4-5 hours for complete install

hey all, sorry to bring a topic back from the dead, but I ordered the window from st. louis honda, and then when I pick it up, I will replace the window. Question is, are there any proper how tos, or guides, walkthroughs and such to make sure i dont mess anything up?

I was going to take out the seats and do it.
