Default Changing plastic rear window

Can the plastic rear window be replaced without changing the entire top?

I wouldn't do it. I had mine done last year and it took two days. The hardest part is diassembling the interior. Then my plastic window was not cut right (the cambri material) from the factory so my installer had to re- position and cut some excess material. Then after it was done I noticed I had some scratches on the rear tray. I only had it replaced because I had a two inch scratch and a lot of small scratches from left to right. To me; it wasn't worth it. If your window isn't really ugly to look at, I would wait. Just my thoughts

The thought of the average Honda dealer mechanic doing this job just scares me shitless. Just get the Plexus
