Yes, when you buy it, you will need to replace the window soon.
Its chemical structure is breaking down due to age and sunlight
exposure, and that is an exponential process.

You may want to take that into account in your offer.

Dealer installed new tops (window alone is typically not worth
doing) are expensive. Aftermarket tops are much more reasonable,
And the installation is a bitch, but *can* be done by reasonably
handy and *careful* people in a day or so. (See miata.net for
details.)

A Miata dealer in Germany is ilmotorsports.de I do not know how
they are on soft top prices.
