Important Information | New: Custom Fit Car Covers
Note that 1999 Miata convertibles were first offered in early 1998. They were tagged as "1999" models!
The original Mazda Miata convertible top fabric was 'cabrio' vinyl.
The original colors are Black #1002, Mazda Tan #1414 and Saddle #1717.
Non-original colors may be subject to an extra charge.
Occasionally Miata convertible top restorers are selecting the Haartz Stayfast canvas fabric.
This is featured on Mercedes and other German cars and is an elegant and super durable fabric.
The Rain Rail (Gutter):
The rain rail, at the base of the top, guides water into drains near the rear wheels.
A new rain rail is required in a top replacement only when the current one is apparently damaged.
Most often the old rain rail can be cleaned and applied with the new top.
Original riveting of the rain rail to the base of the top was done to facilitate transporting.
It is not necessary to rivet the rain rail to the new top as this serves no functional purpose!
It will therefore be easier if a new rain rail is required, to purchase it separately.
Typically a factory quality rain rail will last through three or more tops.
We offer durable rain rail replacements, listed with accessories.
We also offer an Economy Rain Rail which functions as well but is "lighter duty."
It is made of thinner vinyl with base line reinforcement plastic. It should last for two tops.
Zipper vs No Zipper Window:
The original Miata top' rear window was plastic and could be lowered while the top was up.
The design permitted replacement of the window without removing the top.
There are aftermarket plastic window replacments. However they require sewing a special
half zipper to the top in order to use them.
Modern replacement tops with zippered windows do not allow complete window removal and replacement.
They do allow the driver to keep the top up and the window down.
We offer tops with zip down windows and with fixed windows.
The fixed window tops that we offer allow the top to fold down without needing to unzip the window.
In order to accomplish this we made the circumference of the back window just one inch smaller
than the original factory specifications, and moved the window down a fraction of an inch.
This prevents the window from encroaching on the roll bar.
These non-zip tops are our best sellers: they work beautifully, are less expensive,
and we have sold hundreds of them (and most have been owner installed!.)
Econo Tops:
These are our tops with non-zippered rear windows. They are available with
either plastic or with glass rear window.
We have used the name 'Econo' to simplify the product description. 'Econo' tops
are made uncompromisingly with state of the art computer assisted cutting of patterns,
electronic welding of seams, and all other quality manufacturing processes;
and carry our full five year warranty. The difference is the elimination of the zipper
and the unnoticeable window size modification. Econo tops are available with either plastic
or glass rear window. And we offer the Econo top with a defroster glass rear window.
Zipper Window Tops:
For those who want to be able to lower the back window while the top is up we offer
zippered back window tops, in both plastic and glass. These windows must be unzipped in order
to lower the top, as was originally the case.
Hold down cables:
There is one cable on each side of the car embedded in the top.
The cables fasten the top (front and rear on each side) to the frame and provide variable tension
to the top sides as it is raised and lowered.
New cables have stainless steel plates replacing the original plastic ones.
Do-It-Yourself Installation:
Our step by step, Miata top instruction booklet covers all the steps in the removal of the old top
and the installation of the new top. Typical installation time for a
first time installer who is "handy" is 5-6 hours. Our manual is a profusely illustrated
step-by step 24 page 8 1/2 x 11 booklet that should lead the handy person
through a full restoration.

Just a quick note saying "thanks" for a great product. I received my Miata Econo top earlier this week
and installed it today. Took me about 7 hours but I've got a super looking top that fits like a glove.
Your instructions are not only very accurate, but supportive in the little details
like keeping hands clean with a light colored top (mine is tan) and using the fork for the clips.
I was able to reuse every clip I removed. The construction and material look to be very durable.
I'll recommend your company to my other Miata friends.

I wanted to let you know just how impressed I was with your product and
service. I recently bought and installed a new top for my '97 Miata. I
was all set to go with a brand from Miata site I order from a lot but then
I found your site and you were about $100 less and then saved me more
money with the side cables and economy rain rail. Given the savings, I
thought I would give you a try. I ordered on-line and received my top the
next day! (of coures I live in CT). The installation went well, no issues
with fit and the directions were very helpful (if you take the time to
read them in advance) and using the fork as a button removal tool was key.
The whole thing took about 4 hours and it looks great. Thanks for a great product!
