Soft Top Rain Rail

Postby JBT » Fri Dec 23, 2005 1:54 pm

I have an NA8 with a somewhat sad roof :( . I’m thinking of replacing it with a complete NB roof and frame.

Is there just the one type of rain rail or did they differ between models :?:

I spoke to Centenary Mazda a while back about this (was just getting a soft top replacement figure for car hunting reasons) and they said the NA soft top now has a glass window and comes complete with the rain rail. Not sure if it's the same part or not though, but they might know if you call them?

I believe that there was just one type. I have already done this exact swap onto my NA6 and the NB top was complete with rainrail etc and it fits just fine.

Take a look at the Robyns?/Robins? tops, i think they're on http://www.miatamania.com.

I'd just replace the rain rail as well for peace of mind.
If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.
