I have an '00 w/ only 15kmi. The top and rear window (athough plastic) are mint. I hate to swap it out...however I really want a tintied rear window. I know this is a long shot but does Robbins make a replacement "tintied" rear plastic window for the OEM top? I know there is no way to fit the glass in a pre 01 top.
If not, I may decide to swap tops. Any idea if my current top has any value? Might put it up on the marketplace forum.

There were two options for him at this point, buy a Honda OEM replacement for $800 or so, or get a Robbins replacement top with a glass rear window for a lot less.
Not to bad mouth, but you're making it sound like an entirely new top is the only solution for that situation.

Actually, a top replacement isn't needed if only the rear window is damaged. That would make the first option "buy a Honda OEM replacement rear window for $200 or so".

Good write up.
I installed my replacement top in January with a friend of mine. We however did not remove the interior at all to perform the installation.
The process took my friend and I five hours (Could have been less) but this was his third or so installation.
BTW, I have the Robbins Canvas Top with defroster (Don't know why).
This is a good writeup that will help many to perform this installation.
