Hi,
I am interested in doing my own convertible top retrofit. I have a 2000 Honda s2000 and was wondering if this was easy or difficult? I have a soft top with plastic and am interested in getting a canvas with glass. How difficult would this retrofit be to do it yourself?

Additionally, does anyone know of anyone who offers doing this at a discount? I live in Northern Virginia in the DC metro area.

 

i know there is a diy on here for the conversion. this is also quoted from the gateway region for soft top replacements.

"i found out wat the difference was! HV Denim is basically wat comes OEM w/ the S2k.. the stayfast cloth is basically more cloth, "fabric". its wat "bmw, mercedes" use. they say if ppl get it on the s2k its more for the look than anythin else.. looks like its the EZ ON top w/ glass window. 468.25 shipped to my front door! WOO HOO!!!! gotta love topsonline.com "

 

I've done the conversion. It took me 12 hours the first time, plus another 8 to redo it to get it right. PITA but well worth doing. Find someone else in NoVa who's done it and do whatever it takes to get them to help you.

 

I started a thread a month ago to start intrest in making a DIY day

 

i have done a stock top replacement in 5 hours, however im a honda tec with a dozen of them under my belt. my advice is to pay someone with experence to do it. it will save you time and money. ask your local dealer who they use for upholstery work or look up a upholstery shop in your area.

 

Does that qualify as an "unfair advantage"?

I think you're giving good advice.
