I bought my 2001 S2000 about 3 weeks ago. Got it at a great price because it needed some TLC done to the exterior (minor scratches, couple dings) the worst thing was the top. The frame was in great shape and the motors work flawlessly, but the fabric and plastic window in the rear were complete garbage. I spent about a week and a half debating what I should do. I was originally going to go with the glass top with conversion kit from topsonline, but then someone posted for sale an OEM glass top with frame, and motors in excellent condition on craigslist, and the best part is he was only 45 minutes away from me! So I picked it up and did the install myself. I have never done anything like this and it took me a while to do because I am not to mechanically inclined. Anyways here are some pics let me know what you guys think!

Very impressive mate... Id love to do this to my own!

 

I just had mine done recently, the conversion, and it makes it look at least 6 years newer.

My plastic window was probably worse than yours prior to the conversion.

 

im trying to find me a glass also but dam they are going for some stiff prices
and i dont know if i could stay there 7 hours

 

maybe you can try to cut/grind down those seat locks with a rotary tool?
