Default Hardtop Installation?

Hey guys, I am looking into buying the hardtop for my '02 S2K in the next month or so. My question is, how hard is it to install? Is there anyone on the boards who would be interested in helping me out if they have done it before? Thanks.

I know of quite a few S2000s in the area and have not met anyone with the hardtop. I'm pretty sure it requires removing the rear tray to install new brakects though. That is a medium-difficult task that will take several hours. You will also need to run the defroster which will take some time. I've had the entire top apart retro-fitting the glass top so I have a bit of know how on the way everything goes together. Let us know if you decide to do this and we'll see if we can get a group together to lend a hand.

yo...

the only thing you need to take out in the back are the side panels to get to installing the side catchers. I'd say this task for both sides took me 45 minutes. installing the relays, plugs, etc. , another 30 minutes. After that, ENJOY the hardtop!!
