yesterday somebody broke my rear window and at the local dealer
told me that i cannot replace just the window and i have to buy the soft top with the window!
is there a way to replace only the window?

For MY00-1 Yes, there is a way. It is documented in the service manual. For MY02-05, No it is part of the soft top.

Go to a glass/top shop. I bet they can find an aftermarket piece of glass to work...

the same thing happened to me a few years ago. You don't have a "glass" window correct? You have a 2000 model? I had the plastic window as well, and ordered the window from my local dealer, which comes sewn in to a piece of the soft top. You aren't replacing the entire top, just the part that unzips. So basically you just need to buy the very back piece of the top that has the window sewn into it.

Hope that helps?

You say the window was "broken" which infers you had a glass window. But your handle avatar indicates you have a a MY2000 car? If the window is glass your screwed and have to pop for a new top. On the other hand if it is plastic you can replace it. You will need:

Parts-
8 aluminum pop rivets (3/16"x1/2")or metric equivalent
3 aluminum pops rivets (3/16"x3/8")or metric equivalent
11 (3/16")or metric equivalent, aluminum washers
1 replacement rear window (Honda P/N 86317-S2A-003, H/C6244537)

Tools-Drill
6mm drill bit
Pop rivet gun
Body vise grip pliers.

Technical Data-
Helm Manual for the car (as the service bulletin refers back to it)
Copy of Service Bulletin 00-048 Dated September 20,2000

Hope this helps,
