Default Upgrading the convertible top

Does anyone know if it's possible to retrofit a 2000/2001 with the new convertible top (the one in the 2002 with the glass window and defroster)? If so, where can you have it done - I'm sure it's beyond my mechanical abilities...

You can put on the top with the glass, but you have to buy a whole new top. It is around 3000.00 not including installation. This is at a honda dealership in marietta that gave me the information. If you have a fax I can send you what theygave me. Ed Voyles Honda.
Thanks

I think the glass is great.. but why do you want to switch? You'll loose about 50% of the veiwing area out back - You can also keep the plastic looking like glass by cleaning it with Scratch Off and coating it with Plexus. Lasts for a full season.

Ahh, maybe your right.. I studied the glass size compared to my 01 FSM and the dimensions were vastly diff - Most of the loss is at the bottom and 1/8 less at the top.
