Default New Top

Late last spring, I noticed a tear behind my shoulder on the original top. I shopped around and found an E-Z On top from Topsonline and had it installed this week by a small auto/boat uphoslery guy. He said he'd rather do 4 Miatas to my S after teh fact, but still charged me less than his original estimate. And the total was a third of what the dealers wanted. Drove home in pouring rain and it's tight as a drum. Yes, that's a glass window on an 01. Amazing to see so clearly in the rearview!

Okay, the guy charged me $400 for the install. He's in South Hadley MA. Topsonline Honda page. You'll need to go through the order proceedure to get the exact price with shipping.

I agree, but is he going to want to do the install again, after his miata comment?

hopefully i can make my top last at least through next year as i have a wedding to pay for.
