Default Replacement Soft-top

I have a 1999 S2000 that has a plastic rear window that has cracked.

I have been told that the whole soft-top should really be replaced. Has anybody out there with a 1999 model replaced their roof with the newer glass window spec? Honda can't guarantee that the later model roof will fit mine and I don't want to risk wasting money on ordering a complete replacement roof that may not fit.

Thanks for the link. So it seems to be possible to change the roof to a glass window model, but with modifications. Perhaps I should stick with the plastic window and hope it doesn't crack again.

Go to http://www.cabrioworld.com... It's a direct replacement there

Here's the link right to your 2000 S2000.

go to topsonline.com go ahead and spend a little extra and get the glass. Modifying the frame is not hard.

Why spend extra? Cabrio world is an EXACT fit and it's glass for less? No modifying or anything... What would be the point in that?

your resale will be a good bit better with the glass.

It's the cost of importing it that concerns me, plus the money I would have to pay to customs. And they only appear to send to the States and Canada.
