1 Side/rear Glass problem

Failure Date: 08/12/2004

I own a 2000 Honda S2000 convertible. Since I purchased the vehicle, the rear window has steadily clouded to the point that I can no longer see through it. My local Honda dealer (jones Honda, 1335 manheim pike, lancaster, PA 17603 717-394-0711) tells me the entire roof would need to be replaced in order to replace the window. The cost is in excess of $2,000. 00. I know several other S2000 owners and the same thing is happening to their rear windows.

2 Side/rear Glass problem

Failure Date: 01/01/2004

The rear plastic window became opaque and yellow, to the point where 3 years after buying the car, you could not see through it at all. This made the car dangerous to drive when the convertible top was not down, because rear visibility was only through the side mirrors. While I would consider a functional rear window to be a major safety issue, Honda refused to replace it, saying my warranty did not apply to "upholstery". I attempted to clean it with various window cleaners, and while they helped restore opacity, they did not restore transparency or visibility.
