Honda S2000 Replacement Soft Top

[Soul.Survivor]

Hey guys, Picked up a Honda S2000 last night, pretty chuffed with the car but the soft top has a few tears in it. I know there's a few members on here who have owned a S2000 so thought I'd make a thread about it.

Anyone got any recommendations where I can get a replacement soft top from that fits properly, would prefer one with a glass screen and in black. Thanks

Had mine done at Jack Smith in Swansea. It's a bit of a drive, but for £280 I couldn't complain. The next cheapest one was nearly £700 and I've got a mohair hood. Do you already have a glass rear window?

Oh, and it fits very well. I know what everyone says - buy cheap, but twice, but frankly at this price it's almost the same as a set of rear tyres and could almost be considered a disposable item.

We need to see pictures of your new car...

I'll post up some pictures later on, it's a 2001 but has the AP2 soft top fitted with the glass screen. I've just checked out jack smith but it's a 235 mile trip each way. I dont mind paying a bit extra for someone who's closer?

There's a chap in South Wales that makes new tops for these. You have to leaver your car with him for a couple of days so he can transfer your rear window glass to the new roof. Lots of people on S2KI have used him. I don't have his details but the guys over on S2KI will be able to help you out for sure.

[edit]
Beaten. That's the guy.

You don't need to leave the car with him. He did mine in a morning while I waited. Swansea is also surprisingly nice.

Would prefer not to leave my car and just be able to drive home the same day to be honest but again would consider someone closer and dont mind paying a bit extra

I actually spoke to Jack yesterday and got myself booked in next week but I just cancelled my appointment as I've just managed to find a perfect condition soft top complete roof with frames, motors everything and a standard exhaust for £50! Only half an hour away too

I'll be swapping the roof's over myself this weekend

How on earth did you manage that?! Are you also leaving the donor car on bricks for effect?

I have no idea, found it on one of S2000 facebook groups. The guy who's selling it has a Hardtop fitted, He's been trying to sell the soft top for a while now but no one was biting at all. He originally had it up for £300 and dropped it down to £50 just to clear his garage and when I mentioned I'll come collect, he said he'll throw in the standard exhaust for free, cant argue with that

Worst case scenario, I've only paid £50 for both items. If I have to, I'll just drive down to Swansea and get a new one fitted
