Side/rear Glass Problems of Honda S2000

I have a 2001 Honda S2000, which has just 30,000 miles on it and came with a plastic rear window. I am the original owner. About a year ago, the rear window began to develop pock marks and it became so bad that it is now impossible to see out the back. The car been maintained well and I was informed by the car wash experts that this is because of the sun and because the rear window is plastic. Now, it is a very serious safety issue and I have called Honda America and reported it and requested them to fix it. They also said they will not fix it and had no suggestions even when I told them that this is a major safety issue as I nor my wife or anybody can see out the rear window. Incidentally, one issue is that the plastic rear window was discontinued in 2001 and from the model year 2002 onwards, Honda used a glass rear window. As a result, there are not many vehicles with this problem out there and it is possible that if the vehicle were garaged 24 hours, that the sun would not beat on the plastic window and it may stay clear. Thus, there is very little or no incentive for Honda to fix this problem on their own volition.

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.

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.

The vinyl rear window on my 2000 S2000 has faded I have had numerous run-ins with my local dealer and area rep you cannot see out of it, it has turned milky white making it a visual hazard since you can't see thru it also making that m.

I had also filed a complaint with Honda automobile and got a nice dear john letter with no satisfaction case # no2003-11-1900869, after some inquiring byou can buy a new top with a glass back window from Honda and have it installed for a mere $1600. 00 but they will not correct a visual hazard condition, is this what Honda has come to. Unhappily waiting for an answer.

The vehicle has a convertible top. When top returns back up rear window becomes wrinkled. Consumer cannot see out of window.

Rear plastic window becomes wrinkled and is impossible to use as a window because it is too foggy to see you of. This makes for a very frightening and dangerous driving.
