Default Instructional

[QUOTE=Clovis;1275775]Just got finished installing a glass top on my '00. The entire install took about 10 hours and was fairly easy. There is no reason that anyone should buy a new frame if they would like a glass window on their 2000 or 2001. Two elastic & Two nylon bands riveted to the frame and the top folds nicely.

I took detailed instructions and plenty of pictures of the entire install. I have converted them to PDF...

A PDF Version of my instructions is available here: http://www.s2000.org/mods/top/s2k_glass_to...ructions_v2.pdf




Hi Clovis

do you still have the instruction as pdf for the softtop installation?

kind regards
luke

Robbins here in the US makes a specific roof kit to put a new roof with a glass rear window in the very early cars. I found these hints on the Robbins auto top website. These will probably apply to cars sold in the EU as well.

Honda 2000-01 S2000 convertible top. Robbins core number 2537.Top with Non-Original Non-Heated Glass Window. Before installing top, Retrofit Bow strap Kit must be installed (included in box). Two Tenax studs in well area must be replaced with Nylon Push Fasteners (included in box). No zipper, No Rain Rail. CAUTION: When installing top carefully remove 5 plastic interior trim pieces to avoid breaking clips.For model year(s) 2000, 2001 and model(s) S2000.
More hints here.

Ideally you should find someone with the experience and tools needed to this job as it's easy to botch and have the trunk/boot flood every time it rains or you wash the car.

Default replacement of 2001 to with glass

I need to replace my 2001 top and would like to go with glass. I was told by one installer that if you switch to glass you will need to fold the glass in manually. is this true?

All tops from '02 onward have a glass rear window, so no, that is not true.

Not only false but casts doubt about this guy doing the roof replacement.

The glass rear window is much smaller than the original, folding plastic window in the very early cars and folds just fine if installed correctly.
