I am just about to take delivery of a 2005 S2000. I have the opportunity to buy the hardtop. My Stoopid Question is: After the HT stikers are installed, will I still be able to use the convertible top when I am out and not using the HT? I did not know if the HT installation interfered with this in any way. Sorry for stoopid question.

Thaks

softtop stays even with hardtop on. i dun have one or have experience with it but i heard it's a bitch to put hardtop on. it's not simple like just putting it on. you have to get an installation shit and actually takes 2+ hours to put it on.

 

Once the mounting hardware is installed, it takes only a few minutes to add or remove the hard top. There are only the two front catches and two rear latches and its on. Lining up the rear latches takes a little practice.

The time it takes to install the hardware depends on what model year and even vin number you might have. I have a very early model MY2000 and it had probably the most involved changes. It took the hardtopguy just over an hour to install, but there's something to be said for experience.

I believe newer models are much quicker.

 

Yeah, i have an 01 and have the hardtop. Dont know how involved the install kit is to put on, as the top came with the car when i bought it. However, taking the hardtop off and on is about a 30 second job to do. Just need a second person there to make the job easier.

 

I see....But i can still USE the soft top AFTER the hardtop hardware is installed?

Yes Once the hardtop is removed the soft top still functions as normal

 

Gracias!!!!
