Default Is there a glass window replacement for 2001 S2s

I was wondering if it is possible to zip out my thrashed 2001 plastic rear window and replace it with a 2002 glass window, can it be done? or does some one have a kit to replace it. I am tired of looking through a blurry rear window at night time. I know its my fault for letting the plastic window get so bad but when I purchased the car I did not know that it was going to blurr out. I guess its just a design flaw in the 2000-2001 models.

Any advise would be helpful. P.S. too late for Muz matt.

It has been discussed here that it is NOT possible to just unzip the plastic window and zip in a glass one. They are not the same size for one thing and for another, the window with the glass roof folds slightly differently. You can replace the whole roof, however, this is mucho dinaros. Once the search works again, you can find a few threads from people who have actually done this.
ps. I've been told that Honda dealers will do a plastic window replacement as a one time courtesy job. If you choose the do this, you should use a roof well mat of some kind and put static cling window tint on the outside of the plastic window. Mine is over 2 years old and I'm not too disappointed in it.

I think that with parts and labor, it's only a couple of thousand dollars to do a glass replacement. Good luck.

OneQuickS2K is selling his setup for $1000. I think he has an '00 or '01 and he replaced it with a glass '02 himself. He will help you with the install for that price. Check in the marketplace.
