Try Meguiars plastic polish. I alternated betwee the Meguiars and the Plexus and achieved pretty good results. You have to be somewhat of a contortionist to get into the inside of the window... such a tight space back there.

I just used a good quality cotton towel to apply both products...

no matter how good you try to take care of the window, eventually it will have to be replaced... just think top replacement every 5-6 years.

I strongly disagree. I purchased my S2000 used (1 year old). The convertible top was in horrible shape. So I purchased Plexus, Meguiars plastic polish, and 303 protectant/cleaner, and my entire convertible top looks brand new again.

Now with regular cleaning and maintenance I'm sure it'll continue to look brand new.

i agree with koala... since the top is vinyl, it should last a very long time if you take care of it.
get it clean, keep it clean and preserve it.
(for the window, use a muz mat or something similar on the inside and a rolled up towel on the outside when the top is down- and once you get the haze out- plexus will keep it new).
as mentioned above, the inside is probably where you are getting haze and its not easy to get to either!

I have an 00' and the rear window looks like new. I have no desire to have the smaller glass window. I use plexus on a regular basis and once had a small patch of fine lines and used meguiars #10 and #17.

Clean it well,and once it is clean,use a static tint inside and outside,and change the tint every year or two.
This way your window will always look new.

Mine was pretty cloudy and I brought it back to life with alot of Plexus and elbow grease. It took a while but after about the fith application I could tell a hugh difference.
