I bought from them a few years ago. Went with the Robbins as well. Converted my '00 over to glass. Wish I did it years earlier! Great top and don't see any issues with it rubbing like the old top did.

I was able to answer my own question after 3 attempts. My memory was correct. On a 2003 model with the glass, the 3rd bow will need to be exposed and not be inside the velcro sleeve. If the 3rd bow is inside the sleeve, the top of the glass will rub and rest on the roll bar. The top was also not streching properly and would not close until I corrected the bow to rest outside the sleeve. I would not have been able to complete this install without this post, so my thanks to the OP and everyone who has contributed.

Robbins tops is a great top for a honda s2000 top I would recommend this top to all of my customers. Comes with a three year warranty by a company that actually stands behind there warranty program. We install these top 2 plus times a week. Another great top in canvas materials or clothe is made by gahh.com they are the parent company of Robbins tops. I would highly recommend replacing the bow elastic straps during a new install.

I replaced my soft top using a robbins cloth as well. I have a question about those long straps on the corners of the top that are where the latches are when the top is closed. Do I just cut those off?? and there are also ones at where the door closes by the handle.

GREAT WRITE UP!

This is a great write-up for sure!

We've done about 5 installs for local SF Bay Area customers and think this is the best alternative to OEM soft top. These things do wear over time and this is a great aftermarket alternative.

It can be a DIY but this is a very time consuming job for sure and definitely not a walk in the park. We would rate this a 6-10 diffulty scale for someone who has never done this before.

If anyone in the local Norcal Bay area needs an installer, look us up!

We have some pictures of client cars but just have to find them in our camera if anyone wants to see....as recommended you defintiely want to remove the entire interior and covering up the trunklid area prior to starting to avoid scratches.

Just finished installing the Robbins convertible top after plastic window cracked on a cold morning (2000 AP1). This guide was invaluable. My only comment is that it took me wayyy longer than 6-8 hours...3.5 days (8 hours per day) was more like it. Yes, I made some bone-headed mistakes (i.e. putting trim pieces back in the wrong order, thus needing to take things apart again to redo properly) but still it took a while. I'd say 6-8 hours is for an expert/pro installer who does this often. But thanks OP for the guide. It's night and day better with a glass window. I'm pleasantly shocked at the clarity every time I look out the back with the top up! The cloth looks awesome and I treated it with Raggtopp Fabric Protectant before exposing it to the elements.

I just received my ez on top in the mail yesterday and will be starting to install it today. My one question is do I fully remove the old elastic straps and install new ones in the old location. Also not sure which bow to rivet the retrofit straps to.
