The product came very fast and on time. My sister installed the top for me. It took a good eight hours. Make sure you put it out in the sun to stretch. It’s a lot of work, but turned out great. Great product I would recommend it to anyone.

I installed this top last weekend and am very happy with it. Install was pretty simple with YouTube videos to guide you as there are no written instructions. The fit and finish is very good with no visible issues. I can’t speak to the long term durability of this top but if I get 5 years out of it I will be very happy. I mostly use the top when parking the car to keep the sun off of the interior and don’t intend on driving with the top up too much so it mostly will get used as an attached car cover. Overall happy with the purchase and the pre installed rain rail was a plus.

UPDATE: After completing the installation, I've changed my review from a 2 star to a 1 star. Seriously, avoid this product and go with a better company. They miscut the holes and the stitching is off. The top ripped at a section due to the poorly cut stitching. No, they don't offer returns if you rip the top due to their own negligence. I wasted a full $330 on this garbage, and now I get to spend $500 more buying another top from a legitimate company.I regret this purchase. I regret trying to save $100 by going with the cheaper brand.Right now, 12 hours into this convertible top installation, I regret life in general.It's a great product if you want something that comes with no instructions. Fantastic if you want a top with mounting holes that aren't cut out right. Amazing if you want to waste an entire day trying to work around said poorly cut mounting holes.Otherwise, avoid.

The top itself is worth every penny. It is the budget top, there are more expensive ones out there, but it didn't make sense to pay a lot more for a top on a classic Miata valued at $5,000.As for installation. Wow What a project. My wife and I decided it wasn't anything a dumb guy with tools and a woman with boundless patience couldn't figure out, and we were right.The job from start to finish was 9 hours, with a one hour lunch break. One thing I will say, is if you are big person - by big I mean 6' tall, don't do this. I am 5'6" and my wife is 5'3" and we were barely able to wedge ourselves into position to secure the top to the anchor bolts at the rear. A taller person would have had difficulty, in our opinion.The instructions...well...they were very general. The top is made for model years 1990-1997. Our Miata is a 97 and I think there might have been a few variances in how they were done by each model year. There were parts of the instructions that were a little confusing, but we were able to figure it out. I suggest reading through the instructions several times before attempting anything, just so you have a clear idea of what is going on. Be sure to re-read each step as you proceed, to be sure you are clear on what needs to be done and read one or two steps ahead of where you are, that helped us figure out some of the confusing parts.There is a level of satisfaction that we were able to do this, but if we had it to do again, I'd probably pay someone to install it. The top itself is of very good quality and once installed it looks and performs great, but what a challenge it was to install ourselves.One final note, the top will be VERY tight and difficult to close for a while until the fabric stretches and relaxes. It took both of us to bring it over and secure it the first time.I give it 5 stars. It lives up to its billing and if you are courageous enough to take on this project yourself, may the Force be with you.

I was a bit hesitant about purchasing this top after hearing some of the reviews/horror stories of the Robbins economy top (no holes, alignment issues, thin material). This sierra top is nothing like those.The quality is excellent for the price, the ONLY issues I have with it are minor - there is a tiny blue tint to the rear plastic window and 2 of the pre-stamped mounting holes were about 5mm off their mark. Thats it. I consider those both to be irrelevant considering the price of this top. Everything else - vinyl quality, color, look, fit, etc are all SPOT ON.My dad and I installed this top ourselves and we were able to get the old top off and this one on in around 4-5 hours (we are both experienced mechanics). The installation of the top is very straigthforward, the trick is putting things on in the right order. We watched a youtube video (search miata top install) by mark golberg and it was extremely helpful. There are also some great writeups on miata.netAll said and done I spent less than $250 and one afternoon getting this top on. I highly recommend doing it yourself - what good is a miata unless you're going to work on it yourself?A few tips:- Make sure you get new cables - it's worth it. Found some on ebay for around $35- We didnt replace the rain rail - yes, it cracks but we recovered the whole thing with 2" Gorilla tape and it has performed flawlessly so far. All it is is a plastic slip designed to funnel water into the main rubber rail.- We put our top on in 40 degree weather and it was very hard to stretch once it got closed. Dont force anything, you have to let it work its way onto the frame over a few days. We had to extend the top latches all the way out (they adjust by hand) and also move the latch mounts on the visor out one bolt to get the initial latch purchase. After some time and heat we could then slowly return everything back to stock but it took a couple days - you dont want to force it.- Buy the right size rivets. I think they're 5/32"- Removing the rivets from the old top isnt the easiest thing because they like to spin when you drill them out. 2 man job here - one to hold the back, one to drill.- I didnt rivet the new top to the rain rail, its been fine so far. Dude in the video said he doesnt either.- There are a lot of little bits, brackets & parts - dont lose anything.- Dont forget any rivet holes, we did and had to backtrack a couple times...
