Auto Tops Direct?

Anyone have experience with them? I sold my hard top and my soft top is almost old enough to drink, so I'm going to replace it. I can get a basic 1 piece top with a rain rail from them for $280 shipped, so I'm wondering if anyone has ordered from them or has any experience with their tops?

Thanks!

I bought a top for my '95 off of Ebay.....$280 is a very good price with a rain-rail included.

I had that same top on my NA, it was a great top. One thing to consider, it did not have a zippered rear window, which makes it faster/easier to raise and lower, but the "top up/windows down" mode is a pretty cool NA feature.

I just got one from MiataTopSource. A couple of dollars more than Auto Tops Direct, but MiataTopSource is a sponsor of the pointy board. I got it with the rain rail already installed, but am using the old cables. It didn't come with rivets, so off to Home Depot tomorrow.

You need rivets even if the rain rail is already installed?

EDIT: Stupid question. I read the pointy board instructions wrong. Hmm, I hope rivet guns aren't too expensive, then.

Yes, there are 5 rivets on each side on the B pillar. Also 1 more each side if you replace the cable. I re-used the cable so I only disconnected the end with the bolt. There are several good, with pictures, descriptions of the removal and install in the garage section of the pointy board.

They have packs of rivots, too.

Another tip is to install it on a warm day. Put the new top in the sun for a bit and let it warm up...makes it easier to work with.
