I want to buy a hard top from someone who got a better trade-in on their S2000 without it, but apparently they forgot to have the rear brackets that the hard top's rear mount spikes connect into removed first.

Does anyone know if these brackets are available separately? It's a 2001 hard top and my S2000 is a 2001, but apparently these brackets don't come with the car.

I called my dealer and they tried to tell me that those brackets don't come separately but I don't want to believe that (what would they do if a hard top came in without them?)

Anyone know a part number for these things?

Better yet, has anyone purchased a used S2000 with these parts and would consider parting with them? The pieces I'm looking for are pictured in the following link (it's a picture of the one on the passenger side):

You will also need the interior trim piece with the little brushes on it. It has a bigger notch. Plus the wiring harness for the rear defroster along with the fuse box relay if you don't have the '02 MY. AND if you don't have an '02, you'll need the heavy duty latch plates on the windshield header.
Get a message to H and A (a forum sponsor in the list at the bottom of this page) to see what they say. If they have it, it will be cheaper from them anyway.

To all,

These parts are NOT available separately. If you are ever in the position of buying a used hard top, make sure that all the extra parts are with it. H and A's website has an illustrated installation manual for the hard top showing all the parts you need.

Know anyone who's totalled their hard-top equipped S2000? If these parts can't be bought, maybe they can be scavanged...

 

Since this is the case, then make sure that the installing dealer returns ALL the old parts. They belong to you.
Maybe you can go to the seller to see if he can get his old parts back so he can give you the HT parts.

 

Looks like you can buy the parts from www.hondaautomotiveparts.com

 

I'm not seeing them anywhere. Doesn't look like anything's available on this site that isn't available from anywhere else.
