Uhh, yes , it CAN be done. The window zips out. There is a bit more to it than that, though. Doesn't the glass upgrade require a new frame or is it just a modification to the old frame? Obviously the glass window cannot fold like the plastic one.

You are correct about the plastic window zipping out, along with some other rivet work in the rain rail. The older frames can be modified to work with the glass too, which is what I just did a couple months ago.

Don't know about the S2k, but when I had my miata I had a new plastic window put in by an upholstery shop that did auto uphosltery and headliners. They stitched in an entire new plastic window. Cost was minimal, around 115 for the whole job ,iirc.
