2 Piece Factory Style – Cabrio Vinyl – Non-Zippered Heated Glass Window
This convertible top is the Miata original factory 2 piece design with deck seams and overlapping quarter panels. It includes pre-punched plastic retainers to ease installation.
About the Glass Window
Years of development and engineering went into this convertible top window bonding method. The objective was to design and develop a manufacturing method and process that would virtually eliminate window separation or leaking….the number one failure for glass window convertible tops. The result was a patented production technology that involves wrapping the fabric around an internal ring that adheres to the glass. A new bonding agent was specially created by 3M engineers based on military specification during the development phase to ensure this adhesive, when applied in a multi-step automated process, could withstand extreme tension in all temperatures.
About the Material
Manufactured using premium quality Haartz Stayfast cloth/canvas. Stayfast is a three ply composite made of a square weave outer fabric, a rubber inner layer and a plain cotton lining fabric. It has been UV treated to improve color fastness when exposed to the sun.
We offer designs either with or without a rain rail. The 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.
We highly recommend a professional install your convertible top, but if you want to do it yourself we have detailed Installation instructions Included as a PDF download when you complete your order. Download the guide from the order complete page or by going to your account.
It took 3 weeks to receive my new top— only for it to be completely wrong!! I ordered tan with rain rail, confirmed over phone Tan with rain rail…. Received black with no rain rail. They do not answer the phone, return calls or respond to emails!!!! After days and multiple tries- It was only by sheer luck that I got to speak with someone and that was by selecting “technical support” from the menu option. While I knew their warranty policy when I ordered the top, I still think it’s pretty lousy, the only recommended installer from their website isn’t even in business anymore. Lastly, the top is quite smaller than the original and that makes for less visibility behind you. The only nice thing I can say is that the cloth top seems to be of good quality. But I guess time will tell there.

I was very pleased with the canvas top – perfect condition upon arrival. Let’s see how it will hold up with use.
This was a DIY project and the provided directions were inadequate. Search of YouTube videos filled in the gaps, but still, there were some head scratching moments.
In my situation, customer service was my best experience, as I was contacted by a rep to provide the top color which was omitted in my order. This rep (with a reachable extension #) was my conduit for a discount code adjustment and tech support.
I had two issues with this transaction. First, I sent a message after I’d ordered with a question about the top color but never received a response. Second, I ordered a non zippered top but recieved a zippered top. I would have prefered to not have the zipper but I didn’t want to go throught the hassle of sending it back because I really needed a new top on.
Thank you for the statfast top for my wifes 99 10th anniversary Limited edition and was considering ordering original material. After receiving I opened the box to see my choice was correct to upgrade a collector model! The installation shop also commented on a job well done in selection and quality! Also Thanks to Vinyl Top Specialist in OKC,Ok
Excellent quality, fast shipping.
