    Default best place to buy a new top

    I need to get a new top for my Miata. Anyone have suggestions as to where I should buy the canvas at? I have someone who will install it for a reasonable price.

    I'm happy with my Robbins top. My installation guy liked it too.
    I’m a man, but I can change. If I have to, I guess.

    Second the Robbins top, have a generic POS from eBay on my car now, there's no comparison to a Robbins with a glass window.

    Who are you going to have install it?

    North Dallas. I'd like to get a reputable top, but I don't have tons of money to spend.

    www.cabrioworld.com has tops of various makes/models/colors.

    I had their OEM zippered rear plastic window top on my 92 B&T.

    I have their M2 style non zipper glass window top. About $400 shipped. Install wasn't too hard.

    Well, if I were smart, I'd force myself to like the tan because it would be cooler and wouldn't show fading as badly. However, I like the black. :)

    I'm going to get the vinyl Robbins with the plastic zipper window and rain rail.

    Yeah but,

    Tan has a tendency to show dirt better.

    I had a new top installed last year for $600 at a shop near downtown Ft Worth. It looks like the original top for my 90. This was the best price I could find. If your interested, I will look up the shop.
