ok so i am zipping up my window in my top last night half asleep and when i came out this morning i noticed that the stiching has come out almost all the way along the top to the zipper that is attached to the top (not the window) is this common, is it something i can just sew back up? am i gonna leak now :(
i knew i pulled too hard on it :(
yes. yes. maybe.
lol just my luck ... i knew i should have saved up a little more money and got one in a little better condition...
Mine has done the same thing in a strip about 6" long, but it doesn't leak there. As for saving up and getting a nicer Miata... I wouldn't put a whole lot of money into the one you've got now - your money would be better spent on one that's a little more intact, IMHO... ;)
im keeping this one so as the $$$ comes in this one will be getting upgraded considerably ;) i know it is kind of a beater now but when i get done it will be a pretty sweet ride
its all there just needs a little love that is all ;)
The thing that would scare me about yours is the sketchy body work... :(Quote:

he could have at least sprung for a cheap a$$ maaco paint job
Oh that so sounds like a line from Merry Christmas Charlie BrownQuote:

didnt you say you only paid $500 for that? after a top that is still a really good price, and it will have a new top!
no i paid 1500 for it which still wasnt a bad deal in my eyesQuote:
