Default New s2k owner... Need help!!

I have had my s about a month now. It's an 01 with the plastic window in the back. However, the window is cracked. I was able to buy the replacement from my local honda dealership. Has anyone replaced this or had any experience with this. I started to dissasemble everything yesterday but would like some tips if anyone has any. I haved searched ht and s2ki.com for any write ups and have been unsuccesful. I called honda today and they said it would cost approx 700 for labor.
Any help would be great!

Thanks in advance!

Did you buy the whole soft top or just the rear window piece?

I just bought the rear section with the window sewn into it.

you will need to find a place that works on soft tops. it will need to be sewn in. i don't think you can do it on your own, i am not sure of the stitching process

the place shouldn't charge you more than a couple hundred to just change out the rear section. 400 max
