Default Convert 00-01 Rear window to glass

Is it possible to change the complete top on the car?

Is there another way to do this? has anyone done it?

I know you can just buy a hard top but i found a really good deal on a 00

yes. no. yes.

ive done it as have quite a few others. do a search on s2ki. you can either get a 02+ top and swap it with some minor mods or you can order one from some place thats sells on ebay.

If you want, you can replace the factory plastic window with a new one. I believe it is a little below 200 bucks.

me, personally, if I had an ap1 with the plastic window i would either swap to the top w/ glass window, or, if I wasn't concerned with the softop, buy a hard top.

I've never understood why everyone is so anti-plastic-rear-window... I mean, the older plastic design is lighter, gives a better view thanks to the larger size... It holds up pretty well. I mean, my plastic rear window is going on 6 years old and is still crystal clear and looks nearly new.

Sure the glass window gives you the advantage of a defroster. But I can't ever remember a situation where I would have needed a rear defroster on this car. And 90% of the time the roof is open anyway.

So anyway, I could care less what the rear window is made off...

I some what agree on the light wight of the window. I read a lot about the cars and it was everyones recomendation to get the glass window. I am close to making my purchase. I will probably go with a earlier s2000 with the plastic window. I might get a new piece of plastic if it is dirty/scratched. The ones i looked at seemed to be ok.

Thanks for all of your replys.

Let me know if anone tries the conversion from http://cabrioworld.com/secure/...D=315

eh, i think the plastic is cheap...if you don't take care of it, it ends up looking like **** down the road...plus it folds in half when the top is down, so you have the seems from it folding...
