I have been warned to stay away from aftermarket one's. The company who does all the windshields for Venice Honda told me yesterday that there is a national backorder for an OEM part. They say there are none available in the country. I only need one. Are AP1 and AP2 windshields the same? I'm located in S.W. FL. Any leads would be greatly appreciated.

 

I believe windshields are same all years. Same for the trim. Definitely use oem rubber trim. Aftermarket stuff is junk in comparison.

 

Thanks. I was pretty sure that AP1 & AP2 windshields were the same. Having trouble finding OEM gasket. OEM windshield is probably impossible to find. Trying to find a Pinklington, but unsuccessful so far. Found some brands I never hear of. Will continue hunting.

 

Well finding an OEM windshield is impossible. Not having luck finding a decent aftermarket one either. No luck on an OEM gasket yet either. The appraiser almost cried when he saw my car yesterday.

 

Just curious why the tears. Car driveable or just disfigured?

He said he had never seen an S like mine. It's disfigured now, and undrivable with a smashed windshield.

 

Yeah windshield is on national back order. This molding is one day out according to the dealer I just called. 73150-S2A-013. Not sure if that is the seal you are looking for. If there are no OEM choices I would just go with a reputable company like Safelite to put in the aftermarket windshield. Someone that will warranty their work and that you can have fix things if there is issues.

 

I wouldn't trust safelite. Too many horror stories.

 

I’ve had good experiences with them in the past but never had the windshield replaced on my S.

 

I've had 3 windshields replaced by safelite over the years and they've been perfect every time. I wouldn't hesitate to use them again, but my s2000 is just a 20 year old Honda, nothing fancy or exotic.
