Default s2000 top material suggestions

I am a new owner of a 2001 Honda s2000. The top is totally shot and cant even see out rear plastic window. I was looking around and there are tons of fabrics to choose from. What top do you have? How durable is it? and has it faded from UV rays.

I was looking at this one. Its OEM fabric. is this the way to go? im kinda on a buget

And sorry if this question is asked alot. couldnt find anything on it.

You know what you are getting into when replacing the top on your own, correct?

Go look in the "interior" section for lots of info and help.


I highly recommend getting a Robbins Top with glass window a=for a ap1 to ap2 conversion. Comes with ALL the straps you need, great directions, and GLASS window!
good luck.

i had cloth top on MX5 and it was nighmare to maintain.
S2000's top material is perfect IMO - it's vinyl thsu easy to maintain but looks like fabric thus giving good looks.
