I am replacing the top on my 99 Miata with a cloth one, no zipper, a rear defrost. Does anyone have any experiences with the following tops/vendors.


  1. Robbins (I've much feedback on this, but not for 99 and installation on one)


  1. Duetto (prides on quality, installation support & direction, and customer support)

  2. formatting link
    (Lots of options and colors) For my car, the Robbins & Duetto tops are about the same price (0) with shipping. The topsonline one is 9 (did not checkout shipping) That a large price difference!

Is the topsonline one cheap, or the others just overpriced?



Which one is: easiest to install (directions and support) has a better fit (and fold)



TIA,


- Pat

My experience is with Duetto. I replaced the top on my 97 about 2 years ago. It's vinyl with a zipperless glass window. I was originally going with the Robbins but the price difference at the time was significant enough that I opted for the Duetto. So far, it was a good choice and I'm very pleased with the top. The quality is excellent and it fits as well as the original equipment top it replaced. It folds down easily and lays down low enough to allow the vinyl boot cover to fit with no problem. They really did a nice job with the instructions and illustrations. I replaced mine with no help in about 8 hours with no major problems. The only thing I would do different if I ever have to do it again is replace the rain rail. For what it's worth, if I had it to do over again, I'd go the same way without thinking twice.
