Hi Everyone,
Sorry to bring back an old thread, but I recently purchased an S2000, and the previous owner installed a Mugen style Forbidden hardtop. First things first, it looks beautiful! I love the style, the paint has held up well, overall great looking piece. My only downside is that the fitment isn't great on the door windows. At the rear of the windows, there is a gap that water gets in while washing, and I can hear air rushing in at higher speeds. As everyone has stated, it's all about installation. My question is, for a novice like myself, does anyone have tips for me to correct this? Is there somewhere to buy new/fatter seals?

I believe there is air coming in where the top meets the windshield as well. Also seals?

I apologize for being so clueless with this! I'm fully adept when it comes to nuts and bolts, but things like this are completely foreign to me. I understand if this is not enough information for someone to help, but figured I'd ask.

Thanks!
Matt

Hey Matt,

I suggest loosening the bolts and having someone push down while you retight the bolts. That'll help with the gap, and for the fronts you should get the hardtop specific latches.
