I own a '91 Miata with the original top. The rear window recently cracked. I would like to get a new top but I dont know which one will be the best for me and the way I use the car. I am not extremely concerned about appearance although my car is all original and in good condition. Typically I throw the top down when I get in and then throw it back up (but don't latch it, primarily to protect the interior from sun damage) when I get out. I need a top which will handle the abuse of being put up and down several times a day without being too careful. Any suggestions? Is there much difference between glass and plastic windows in terms of care required when putting the top up and down. The top itself still looks ok although there is a bit of rain that gets in on the sides or at the carwash sometimes ( I know your not supposed to run it thru a car wash but i like to get the undercarriage thoroughly washed after salt in the winter) , how difficult is it to replace the window? Are there advantages / disadvantages in ease of operation of the zip vs no zip windows?
Thanks for any comments
