I am looking to get the Soft Top replaced on my 2000 Honda S2000. I am not looking to do the job myself as it looks to be a pain and take a good amount of time to pull off. I also do not feel like dealing with removing rivets or putting new rivets in. With that said, who knows of some places to check out and get quotes for this work to be done? I am looking to get this done come spring time. ---

Are you buying the replacement first then taking it to be installed? Obviously go with a Robbins top if you do. ---

I’ve tossed the idea around but it just doesn’t seem ideal for me. I don’t want to figure out where to store it when not in use and I love the car for being a convertible. The soft top just makes more sense to redo and as well it should cost less. ---

Providing the top myself, Mosers came back with a quote of roughly $600 and some change after tax. ---

Fair and understandable. How many miles on yours now? I’ve always had such a soft spot for these. ---

Perfect. I will for sure be considering them when my car comes out of storage. I am going to get a quote from that ATM as well just to compare and see. Sounds like Moser’s has it though with how highly talked its already been. ---

Question regarding the quality/type of material used. I have 2 options to pick. Black Haartz Twillweave Acoustic Vinyl and Black Haartz Stayfast Cloth. What is the difference between the two and which is better/will last longer? > [@JSEnclosures](#): > > i do soft tops for s2ks, i’ve done dozens of them, i charge $400 flat fee for labor. i’m in albany NY As stated in PM, I wish I was closer to you but thank you for the offer. ---

Get the stay fast, better material IMO and I haven’t replaced a single one yet, they continue to look new year after year buffalo isn’t a bad drive, make the trip, or maybe I can take a trip out and visit a buddy from college, I went to UB a while back. ---

Let me kick the idea around. I wont be doing this till closer to spring time as the car is in storage. I’m going to order to get the material in either this week or next so I am ready to go. I think I will also be ordering 1 or 2 latches for the roof as well. I know they are starting to loosen up.
