any glass shop can put on the window, as for installing the hardtop, youre better off doing it yourself unless they know how to work on s2000's

Where did you get your hard top? I just got mine from forbidden USA and I know how to install the hard top. I also have windo-weld for the rear lexan window.

I know there's a shop here in San Jose that someone refered me to. He installed it for me and gave me a better seal for the window. He also put a vinyl strip around the winow so that you couldn't see the sealant from outside the car. It looks terrible if u can see it from outside the car. If ur interested I'll have to look for the shops name.

What brand did you get Ray? I have a Rockstar top I'm putting back on tonight. I'll take pictures of how I set my seals before it goes on. The only thing you can really screw up on your own is lifting the top onto the car by yourself and hitting the body of you car as it comes down onto the trim (like I already have), Or just putting your seals on wrong hence why I'm redoing mine. I learned how to set the trim through ALOT of trial and error..

Otherwise the window should be installed by a shop or someone who knows what they are doing and your golden.

Sealed my top up tonight finally (to the point where I heard no creaking) I couldn't believe I finally did it. I have finally figured out a few things that were making it impossible for me to install it properly. Just shoot me a message if you need any help, I'll do my best to describe what I can over the phone if you decide to give it a shot after the window install.

Be careful to not drop a nut behind your soft top. I did and I am to lazy to fish it out lol.
