Convertible Top Replacement for Mazda Miata 1990-2005, One-Piece Cabrio Vinyl Soft Convertible Car Top in Black with Integrated Heated Glass Window

Bought this for my 2003 SE Miata, the old top was torn and leaking. I don't have experience working on cars, but was willing to give it a try after being quoted quite a large sum for a shop to do it. It took me a couple of days, probably 14 hours total, without any help, only basic tools were required. When I first installed the top, there were visible stretch marks on one of the sides, as if it hadn't fit quite right. With time (after about a couple weeks) these faded away and the top looks normal. Top will be tight at first and maybe not close, but it stretches once you leave it in the sun and closes just fine. When I open the doors the window glass will catch on the edge of the top - though admittedly this is likely more my fault than a design flaw. It's more of a nuisance than anything else, doors can still open and close normally. Top is a bit difficult to put down due to how the glass window bends with it, but again, this may have to do more with my work than the quality of the product, and is just a nuisance. Top doesn't leak even during heavy storms. I reused my old rain rail, and everything works fine so far. Heated window works great too. Vinyl is easy to wash and clean. I am satisfied with this product and would recommend it to anyone considering replacing their soft top, even if you are not particularly mechanically inclined.

Went on with no problems. Great fit and seems to be well made. Has been on for 4 months now without a problem

took me 5 plus hours to install but the end result made my 2001 miata look brand new again. its a very tight fit took me almost a whole week to get the top to clip onto the latch. what i did was put something heavy on the top to scretch it out. i use a whole case of costco water to help it scretch. it work and i am very happy with the end result.

Good fit and finish, no problem at all with the product… definitely a bigger pain to install than I had anticipated, but I don’t think it’s due to the product, I believe any of them would be a pain to install!! Took my son and I a full 8 hours to complete.

Pretty good for thr price. Install was not too difficult. Definitely need 2 people tho. I like the removalable rear window. Top has help up good this past year.

very good. it fits tight on the frame but i suppose that is just what a new top feels like. a bit of difficulty to install but once it is done it is well worth the work.

Top went on very easy, in fact too easy as it is a little loose which has caused it to have wind noise in the back on passenger side and be a little crooked. When latching for first time I was able to do by hand, whereas my previous top I installed 20 years ago was a big struggle to latch the first time. My second issue is the window is larger than my last, so the roll bars had to be reversed, so the window could lay flat, which took valuable seat room. You can see in my photo the window comes out all the way to the buttons to cover the top. My last and biggest issue, as others have noted in comments, is the window pulls away as the glue comes apart from the top. You can see my pictures of this and the passenger side is worse. After the glue let loose it appears the stitching is all that is holding the window in.

I gave 3 stars on easy to install because these are NOT easy to install. This is not a fault of the product but a fact of a car roof which last for years and is driven exposed at 70 mph. The top looks great. It has all the right little holes to align with a rain rail, rivet holes for the frame etc. it just takes time and patience.
