    Don't know if your a big fan of the zip out rear window in your current top, ya don't get that feature in an NB top.

    I sometime miss that feature.

    Ask around here in the Parts is Parts section, and you might also try Mazda Heaven over in Mansfield. I'll be looking for one soon - once my plastic window goes south (it looks pretty crappy and the zipper's pulling away from the top).

    Welcome aboard and good luck!

    Don't get your hopes up, unless they are just unloading a new car that has a good top they are usually neglected pretty bad. With parts thrown into the interiors with the tops down.

    The guy over there seems to be pretty good about taking the tops off right away if they are in good shape when they come in.

    I called Mazda Heaven...the guy has a top with frame. Tan w/glass window. I wanted to see if anyone can give me an idea of a good price. I'm afraid it may go fast.

    I read an article on Miata.net that a girl without ever doing a top before did hers all by her lonesome. I think the title was going topless or something to that affect.
    Blah blah blah!
