Or you can just lower the top.

 

The Miata had this function, it's actually perfect for hot summer days, keeps the sun off of you, but with the windows down also a nice draft is created. I actually wish the S glass soft top had it

The only thing that will make me put my top up is rain. And since my S is a "garage queen" that has only happened once. (Well actually, my goddaughter's autistic 9 year-old once insisted I put the top up on a nice day. That's the last ride he will get in it. )

Unlike the Miata, that zipper on the S2000's rear plastic window was not meant for multiple uses. It's meant to be used only when the plastic window needs to be replaced. Repeated use can damage it and make it useless should it actually need to be used for its intended purpose. But hey, it's your zipper.

Honda created a one time use zipper?

 

Don't look at it as a "zipper". Look at it as a "fastening device" that was meant for a shop to do repairs. When an owner uses it as a "zipper" repeatedly, it won't last. When shop uses it as a "fastener" to replace a part, it can be used a few times in the life of the car. I don't think I ever said it was a "one time" use. Those old AP1 rear windows are replaced seldom and the cars that do have the window replaced, are perhaps done once, maybe twice, in its whole life.
Plastic rear windows were made to be replaceable when damage occurred through accident or by vandalism. Some are replaced because the owner(s) was too lazy to do the upkeep or too ignorant about how to maintain it.

Source for this??

 

SERVICE MANUAL. (Not that I feel I need to prove or justify any of my posts.)

 

I have an 05 with 9500 miles. I notice that the car shifts much smoother once the drive train has warmed up. When cold, 1st to 2nd can sometimes be clunky, but once the car is warm, it shifts very smoothly. I was wondering if changing out the transmission fluid to a better brand would help. Not sure what is in it now. Most likely the factory original.
