Have you tried Meguire's PlastX or any other plastic polish?

Either way, I would like to know the answer to this question as well.

I have a 2001 and a plastic rear window. It can be replaced, honda charges about $225 here for the piece. It's about $300 labor as well, they have to pull out the seats and all. I recommend talking to hardtopguy about replacing the top with an 02 spec top, glass > plastic.

I haven't tried this, but I heard that if you pour hot water over the plastic window it will take out a lot of the creases ... then the plastic polish will clean it up a lot ..... not sure how hot the water should be though ....

I would assume that pulling the seats out is required to give you enough space to work in .... if you have ever tried to just clean the inside of the window properly, you will know hoy tight things are trying to work in there !
