Also, should I invest in new tension cables?

It seems to be a common problem and we had to rig up one of mine to make it work. I would suggest getting them.

Tell the kid it is his choice: put on a new top with my help or hire Stevan and pay me back.

My Daddy always says if you borrow something, return it in better shape. He'll be borrowing your Miata.

Now I like that idea!

if the tension cables are bad i have a set off a frame im about to junk. theyre not pretty but they work.

btw get the 3m 80110 glue that robbins reccommends its worth the $12. havent tried any other stuff but when i took the old top off to send back to robbins i was worried about tearing the canvas before that stuff let go.

Wait for some warmer weather if you DIY....will make things much easier.

Yes, a pop rivet gun is required. $7 - http://www.homedepot.com/h_d1/N-5yc1...1#.UO2a3W88CSo

I didn't use glue and reused the tension cables.
