Hey everyone,

Here is an idea to ponder. Everyone that has a 2000 - 2001 S2000, I think we need to ALL get together and file a Class action suit against the safety of the rear window, you can't see out of them!...They suck.

What pisses me off is that you go and buy a $34,000 car, they put a junky plastic window in it, then not 1 year later they start putting a glass window in.

Either we all want NEW windows or swap them out at a limited $ amount for the new glass one.

What does everyone think?? Could we get any where with honda if we all got together?

Just an idea.

Jonathan

Did you know that it had a plastic rear window when you bought it? Maybe they could swap the rear window with a glass one if you let them swap your motor for Civic motor.

I do wish that would happen....however, Miata been out for so long without the glass rear.... I think someone must have though of or done it...but you never will hear the result....might be a tough one but I am totally support your idea.

That would be like a class action suit against Intel because you bought a computer just 3 years ago, that had a Pentium-2 300 processor, the fastest there was.

And look at it now, you can't even run a decent game on it!

And now they have processors 4x faster, and 1/2 the price!

SUE THEM!

NOT.....

Everyone keeps talking about plastic windows and glass windows. Where can I find these things? Do I need to put the top up to find them?

How about buying the car at a premium price and find out a year later that it WILL NOT be discontinued but under "Limited" Production. I see PPL drive in them like it was a Del Sol.
Limited prod. is good but for a $34,000 car!? I can buy one,...wait I did ! Now a $75,000 Limit prod. like our Big Bro the NSX is reasonable but not S2000. I'm just a little bitter at car sales men right now. I probably paid their rent for a month easy!

I don't think such a suit woud be deemed to have merit. I hate like hell that I've got to put gas in my car, but I knew about that when I bought the car. Do I have grounds for a suit? I think not. Honda is actually trying to remedy the problem by putting the glass window in the '02.

Just because we bought the car knowing it had a plastic window, does not mean we could predict that the top design would fold and scratch in such a way that you can't see through it after less than a year.

My plastic windows is a clear as glass. You just need to take better care of your car.

Use Meguires plastic polish every 4 - 6 weeks and Plexus every week or two. Use a microfiber cloth like a miracle towel, not paper towels or rags.

This is standard maintenance for any car with a plastic rear window. This routine has been mentioned so many times that you've only yourself to blame if your window is cloudy.
