Default Where to replace rear plastic window with glass?

I have a 2001 and want to replace rear plastic window with the glass one in MY 2002.

I called Menlo Honda. They said parts+labor is $2k+. Is there any cheaper alternative? Thanks a lot in advance.

If you want it done for cheaper, you can try to find a used top on here or order an non-oem top from http://www.cabrioworld.com/secure/detail.a...456&modelID=314 which may not look as good... Then you just have to find someone to do the labor.

The Robins auto tops are fine quality. Its very hard to tell the difference from OEM. I bought mine off ebay for $550. Any auto top shop can do the install, its pretty straight forward and easy.

Hi Mark, can you recommend an auto shop near Palo Alto that can install it for cheap? I think I just buy a 2002 top from eBay and then ask them to install. Thanks!

off the top of my head, the aftermarket one is prolly better because it prolly comes with a conversion kit of some kind.

i think the 02+ OEM tops have a slightly different frame. Call a conv/upholstery shop first because they should be able to tell you what you need or can/cant do.
