Hey everyone, i am in desperate need to replace my soft top on my ap1, ( the plastic rear window is slashed open.) i was wondering if anyone in the relative "chicago-land" area has had experience changing out a top of their own or another s2000, and would feel comfortable enough to do this pain in the ass project again, with help. I could do it myself, with tools and a service manual, but i would much rather have the piece of mind working with someone who has successfully done this before.

if anyone can help, let me know!

also, i am in need of a soft top (plastic window)

 

bump

 

Dirt cheap fix.

 

yeah i have some waterproof tape on there now, but the thing is, i need a new top, because i am getting ready to sell the car for something a bit more practical for long trips and around college.

 

I've done enough of these to be of some assistance. Unfortunately, my schedule is really tight on the weekends (the only time I have available).

PM me...maybe we can work out a time that's viable for the two of us.

 

You can replace just the rear section.

Its quite labor intensive... but not to bad. I bought mine with a slashed window and replaced the zippable section thats sort of under the top.

 

thanks Luder, i need to get ahold of a top now. so i will send you a PM when i get that sorted out. and i was reading up in the service manual and saw you could replace just the rear section, but i figured, if your going to do that much work, why not the whole top? i have a little cut in my top from wear as it is,

how much does a used softop/plastic window go for, compared to just the window section

 

hardtopguy or even topsonline (dot com) would be a few suppliers.
They could range from what kind of top (fabric), glass or plastic. Range could be anywhere from $400 to $1000 depending on your fabric choice and rear window + shipping.
If your looking for a better bargain, check around for total'd S2K partouts or even a FS or WTB thread.
I've checked around myself. I've a got softtop issue myself, just not something needing immediate replacement. A crack at the rear behind both windows.

Good luck!

 

PM 'Quivers'. He may have a parted soft-top sitting in the garage from one of the many S2K's he been parting.

 

i shot him a PM thanks you guys!
