Default Convertible top...

OK...it's not for a Chevy one of our best friends has a 1990 Mazda Miata and he needs to install a new convertible top. His on-line homework points to products from Robbins...since I am his designated auto info source he wants my advise on making a good choice. Any help, sugggestions or info will be appreciated.

What's a Wankel..??

The large DDD girl across the street from me uses a hard top in winter and is letting it fill with rain as we speak. Must be a scupper valve or an auto bilge pump in that Miata!!

I was Service Mgr. at a M'Benz/Volvo/Mazda Dealer in the late 80's when these MX5's were new and many were in for warranty tops because of rear window zipper failure..
If they don't know this already, make sure to tell your friends to always undo the front top clamps and let the top open slightly before zipping the rear zipper then clamp the front last after the zipper has been opened/closed..
