Default Help! My rear window cracked!

Yesturday I put my top down on my '01 S2000 and the vynal rear window cracked.

It split all most in the bottom center of it. It's a 3 inch gash.

Is there any way to replace it with a glass one like the '02 and newer ones? Or atleast some kind of vynal repair that will keep out water.

It was about 60 degrees. Is a hard top the only solution? I hate the idea of a hardtop. The whole reason I bought the car was because it was convertable.

Same here, so I opted for the glass window.

You mean the glass peep-hole?

A new top is ~$1500. It's more, if you're going to change it to a 02+ (glass). For that, I'd just ghetto-tape it, and get a hard top. It takes like 2 min. to take on/off the top.

It's only a peephole when its too cold outside, and I always have a beanie, hoodie sweats and gloves in trunk. Top down + Wide rearview mirrors = no peephole.

775 for a blue one with glass window... prolly expensive to have it installed though
