Where's the best place to find a NEW TOP ??
Any reccomendations on where to get a new top and window for a 95 Miata?
Also, what's needed to put in a glass window ? I'm thinking as long as the top's getting replaced it may be nice to put in glass . (unless it's too cost prohibitive). Thanxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx |

The tops are quite different because the inflexible glass window is smaller than the flexible/unzipable plastic. Robbins is a well-known brand, and makes tops in several grades (as well as a wide price range- from <$300 to over $750) Glass windows usually have defrost; if your car doesn't have a defroster line (those sold with factory hard tops should), it's a pain to install. Check miata.net for top vendors, explanations of the replacement process, and other information. I'll leave it to others to explain how hard the job is; I'm fortunately still on my original top.

I'm thinking as long as >the top's getting replaced it may be nice to put in glass . (unless it's too >cost prohibitive). Check recent posts here and on miataforum.com about various choices. Also check the product reviews on miata.net. The Duetto no-zip glass top has gotten a couple of favorable reviews here. I would not like to have a Robbins top since when down they lay much higher than stock, destroying the sleek lines of the Miata in my opinion. If you do not care about the looks, they are very good quality tops. I installed an M2 top on my Miata, http://www.bigbendmiataclub.org/bigb...1902/index.htm but they are expensive even used, because of demand.

I snapped a photo of our Robbins no-zip glass top in the down position just to show people what you are writing about: http://makeashorterlink.com/?L45426059 It gets even worse as it tends to rise up while the car is driven. We tend to not use the boot cover, which DOES fit over the higher Robbins and would hold the top down. -- Ken Lyons '97 Brilliant Black/'90 Classic Red Inside the Beltway [Remove the first two digits to reply] |
