Is rear visibility any better with hardtop in comparison to softtop? If so, is it significantly better or just barely better?

Thanks

Look at pictures.. The window is way bigger.

First off, the glass soft top window is much smaller.
Secondly, the plastic window tends to scratch and haze (like mine), so you can't see out of it regardless of size.
I bought a hardtop, and the visiblity is much better - the window is clear (for me now finally) and way bigger (and I had the big plastic window). It's good. OEM visibility is better than Mugen.

The visibility is much better with the OEM hardtop on my 02.

Yeah, it's waaay better than the softop. I can even see a little bit by looking over my left shoulder.

There is no comparison between the soft top view and the HT view.

Kinda on that subject ...what was the first year that the S2000 got a glass window for the top TIA

2002 for glass top.
OEM hardtop much better than soft for visibility. The rear window wraps around a little so you can see in the back corners.
