Identifying marks on it? Defrost?

So the California trend of stolen hardtops makes it to Texas, lovely. ::Rant:: Are miatas gonna be the new Honda of stolen cars next? ::Censor::

Nice lock. Is it mandatory that it be purple anodized?

$180 for locks isn't chump change though. Maybe Spec Miata hardware with security bolts would be more TCB.

I'd be curious to hear more details. Where was the car parked?

$180 might not be cheap, but that is for 2 of them. Also the top costs a heluva lot more than that. you could do what sport compact car did and mold your hardtop into the body. :P

I think I may go the "spec" route too since I don't put it on and take it off too often. Plus the fact that my latches are giving me problems.

TCB solution (and the one I'll probably take): http://www.rennenmetal.com/proddetail.asp?prod=1335side Only $27 (powdercoated) plus shipping and four security bolts. Knock off $4.50 if you rattle-can them yourself.

p.s. I also got their #2280 Accelerator Pedal Cover and love it. YMMV

the rennenmetal or any spec latch removal plates will make your hard ware back out under body twisting. i have to retighten all my hardware after every season at the track or ever few months on the street. people with door bars and cages doesn't have this problem

I had the same problem with a roll bar and door bars installed. Blue Thread-Locker cured it.
