This Light Tan Cabrio Grain Vinyl Miata Top is like original. It’s a 2 piece factory style with clear plastic window. The window zips open, has the factory original style deck seams, and overlapping quarter panels. The pre-punched plastic retainers make it easier to install.
MATERIALS – Manufactured using premium 38 oz. Cabrio Vinyl manufactured by Haartz for that original look and feel. This is the same weight and grain found on the original Miata convertible tops. It is a two-ply composite made of PVC cabrio grain and a more durable and flexible polyester inner lining.
WINDOW – includes an exceptionally clear press-polish heavy 40 gauge plastic window for superior visibility. The window will zip open.
We offer both designs either with or without a rain rail. A rain rail is a U-shaped, molded ABS plastic piece that attaches to the rear bottom of the convertible top. It directs any water collected, out drain holes to keep it from entering your interior cabin and trunk.
Unless your top is leaking, you may not a new rain rail, however, there are good reasons you should consider getting one anyway.
There is a significant amount of time and labor involved to drill out the old rain rail and reinstall it on a new top properly – without any wrinkles. If you are doing it yourself, and are sure your existing rain rail is in good shape then you can save some money by purchasing a new top without the rain rail, but if your rain rail is brittle or cracked it will leak and cause problems. We offer the option to add a factory installed rain rail. We’ll professionally install the rain rail to the convertible top before shipping. This only adds one day to the delivery at most, but may be done the same day.
Instructional video is lacking in clear instructions. Would be nice to download instructional manual with drawings and diagrams. Also should include how tight rain well screws should be. All in all , great top and as a 63 year old woman, I was able to do it by myself!
We are very pleased with our convertible top. It made our 1998 Miata look brand-new. We were so happy that we could find a convertible top for such an old car. Thank you so much Auto Top.
It fits my 93 miata perfectly and I really enjoyed the strings that are in it to pull the tensioner cable through.
I have not taken this out of the box yet. I am planning on having it installed soon with a friend.
