I agree, after thousands of posts regarding the upcoming glass window on the 2002 S2000, the "real thing" is kind of disappointing. Looks like even more of a compromise than the plastic window on the 2000-2001 models!!
Those of us who suffered through maintainence on the crappy plastic windows on older British sports cars (e.g. Austin-Healey) consider the plastic window on the S2000 a real joy. Everything is relative ( however this is a $30,000+ car!!).

Oh I don't know, I quite like my glass window:



Sorry! On a serious note, having looked at that a few times I think the visibility loss may offset the improved durability. Personally I will probably run with the lid on most of the year as I have to park in the centre of Manchester... wet and dodgy

Come summer, if I can use the car without the roof on the top will likely be down anyway.

Blimey red, you have been on a shopping spree at your local Autoglym shop!!

I have tried most of their products, and I thing they are excellent (I am about to try some of this fangled Zaino stuff - I'll post a comparison when I summon the energy to do the job properly - it's a 2-3 day process done properly in our (chilly) climate.


I do like your roof - now if you ever get bored with it and get the urge to sell, just drop me a line!

As one who's never really seen the problem with the existing window, I just find that glass one.......awful! Try reversing into a tight kerbside spot with THAT!

I've got both - soft roof and hard top. Nice big heated window for when I need it, but I can still see out the back when rains during the summer

Do you organise them by application or size

Haven't found my stockpile of 'glym products due to the large amount of crap on my garage floor courtesy of the "loft boarding" experiment.
