I know it zips along three edges but the bottom looks to be a nightmare to get in. Have found replacement panel on a website for around $175 but can't seem to find anyone who can put it in. I am sick of driving around sweating out the rain...I have a hole in the plastic window panel, not along the edge. I am a total non DIYer (that's why I can't stand the dealerships in this area but that's a whole other topic) Don't drive my S too often but it sucks when it rains. Oh well, I just drive a little faster to outrun the raindrops. Of course, where I live I have to watch for the ridiculous cops hiding in the bushes (yet another topic)

You could get the replacement panel and take it to an upholstery shop. That's where the stealership is going to send it anyway. I wish I could recommend one, but I've not had to have mine replaced (a good thing ) yet.

Cool Springs Upholstery gave me a good deal on my top replacement. I'm sure they could replace your back window pretty easily.

I'll check them out. Thanks! I want to come to a BNC meet at your place but am embarrassed by my raggedy window so I won't show until I get my new window in.

We had a good showing of S2000's this past Saturday. I think there were 8 that stopped by.
