TURBOED Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 I'll be buying a new top for my miata within a week or two. I'm currently weighing my options as far as what to buy, where to buy it, and installation. Right now I'm leaning towards buying one that is already mounted on the frame, so all I have to do is unbolt the old fram, and bolt in the new one. That way I don't have to worry about riviting, etc. If I would decide to buy a top and have it installed professionally, Does anyone know of any shops in the area that have experience installing tops (especially on a miata), and possibly what they would charge to install one? Or, if anyone has experience with this and wants some extra cash, feel free to speak up... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TURBOED Posted November 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 Thanks, sorry about that... thought it was kind of an inbetweener type subject. Anyone else have any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyin Miata Posted November 22, 2007 Report Share Posted November 22, 2007 My dad and I installed a top on my 91 Miata a few months ago. It is definitely not the easiest job ever, but it took us about 8 hours, and we'd never done one before. Honestly if you can find anyone to help you out, even if they've never done it, you can probably figure it out yourself and save the money. They come with directions, and there are some write-ups on the Miata sites about how to do it. I would recommend getting one with the rain rail already installed though, makes life a lot easier.

TURBOED Posted November 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 $325 just for install? Yikes. Right now I'm leaning towards buying from Planet Miata, already installed on the brackets, so all it takes is bolting/unbolting, and I won't have to worry about stretching and riviting and such. If not that, I'll probably just try to tackle it myself. Thanks for the input... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
