So I purchased a Miata last year. I have a great junkyard in the area and have been able to get some great items. I got a fairly new Robbins 3 window top for very cheap. $25.00 since I pulled it myself. the attached photo is the end result. It took me less than 2 hours total.

Herr is what I started with. It was some unknown glass window top. The previous owner had ruined the zipper and he cut holes and tied the window up. NOT good. I got a zipper repair kit and sewed everything up. This worked until early winter. The old top also had a few small holes that he had tried to repair with what looked like bicycle tube patches.

I found the rain rail to be in good shape once I removed the nuts holding it in. :mrgreen: I removed the 3 bolts on each side holding the frame and the small trim holder piece.

I then carefully pulled away the top and lifted it off.

The No Top look. The Boss Frog Double Hoop shows off good.

While I had the top off I took the time to clean out/vacuum the rain rail and ensure that the forward drains were clear.

Here is the "new" top after I removed it from storage in my garage. The junkyard had written on it with some kind of wax/grease marker. It is here warming in the sun to remove any creases. I scrubbed it around the perimeter before installing it.

Here it is installed. It took me about an hour ans 20 minutes to get to this point.

Trying really hard to get to that 30 post minimum, huh?

I then pulled out front and spent the next 40 minutes cleaning the "new" top. I removed the writing and scratches in the windows with Bluemagic headlight polish. This buffed up very nicely. the windows are clean, smooth and clear. I scrubbed the top with warm water and soap. I am very pleased with the results.
