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!

Looks good, and as time goes on actually seeing a plastic window on an AP1 is getting rarer and rarer

Do you miss the size of the plastic window? I did when I went from my '01 Silverstone to my '05 Suzuka.

Same here with my 06. I discovered that size DOES matter.
