I looked at my rear plastic window and I have some type of foam covering the zipper. I couldn't get it past three inches without going through the foam?

I am guessing that the foam is some type of insulator?

I will almost certainly get the glass window. I feel that the plastic really cheapens the car, and mine looks like garbage despite my reasonable efforts to keep it otherwise.

A lot of people say "but mine is just fine after 8 months...of applying 2 coats of 303 and 6 coats of Plexus every other weekday and hyperextending my elbow while trying to get the upper-driver's inside corner and getting out to put a pool noodle into the crease each time I lower the top and..." blah blah.

The glass window is big enough to serve the rear view mirror, which is all I'll need it for. I think it looks better from the outside, too.

Ok, never mind my last post. I didn't notice the paging arrow buttons on the photo album at HondaNews.

Is it just me or does that silver look very much like the current silverstone metalic?

That blue interior is a bit too much blue for me. I like the deadpedal though. I'll probably pick one up when they come out with it. Of course, being a Honda part, it'll probably cost a small fortune to get.

That glass rear window is half the size of the plastic one. Not sure if I'd retrofit the car for that.

Looks like they ripped off Rick's idea for a leather console cover.

Not all of those pics on that page are MY02

And I agree with you Sunchild - the plastic rear window always has been and always will be a pain in the ass to clean. I'm no lumbering giant, and still cleaning the inside of the plastic window is a pain. I really doubt a window that small will add any real lbs. to the car - if it does, i'll just go on a mini diet.

I plan to simply eliminate the spare tire. I figure that the elimination of the tire is a small price to pay for the ability to see out the back.

Check the caption - the only silver colored cars I saw were from 2000 & 2001 MY - I didn't see any pictures of 2002s outside of the new blue color.

The glass window on the rear looks nice ... Hmm, I see that it is available on the road somewhere in the States. Anyone spotted this one? Damn distinctive, can't miss it for sure. I personally think the new gear knob looks damn ugly. Other than which, blue isn't my type of color either except for lights.
