think your better off getting a glass window roof . Take advantage of the good exchange rate and buy it . Look at it as an investment bro, if your planning to keep the car long term .
just changed over my 00 top to a robins glass window. My old roof had the two small rips on either side where it folds into and the plastic was starting to fade. Should have been the 1st mod i did to the car!! best investment ever.

update: ended up buying a new soft top woohoo!

Emailed Vic, and ended up purchasing an EZ ON auto top in the stayfast canvas. Ended up costing $570 AUD landed!!

Apperently the EZ ON top is available as a replacement for the 02+ model S2000s. But he has some available for 00-01 so i just went with that, basically the same as a Robbins top except you will be paying abit more the Robbins top since they have been in the game abit longer...
Stayfast canvas is same as OEM and did it come with the modification bands?
Whats the cost you have been quoted to fit the top?

I now need to join the club of those who replace either their back plastic window or their roof, as I have a small crack in the back window. DAMN IT!

Unfortunately I'm torn as the roof itself is still in great condition, but I do like the idea of having a glass back window. Question: should I replace the top?

It's seems that there is a couple of sources for a replacement top from the US. Has anyone had any trouble with any of the overseas tops? How long does it normally take to arrive?

Has anyone used any of the professional installers in Melbourne and what was your experience?

I know, so many questions, but given there are many people with practical experience on this site, I thought it would be a good place to start!

From topsonline, a roof will arrive within 7 days of payment being sent. I have found.

Upgrade to the glass its soo much better. My OEM roof was in great condition, but once you get the glass you will see the light.. literally.
