Soft top plastic window cracked.

Hi all,

My plastic window is cracked on my NA.

How hard is it to fix/replace , just the window if possible?

Thanks.

Not too hard if it's an OEM item, Mania & a few other places may have a 2nd hand back. If it's after market like a Robins, you may need to contact an after market crew (don't know of any aussie outlets off hand for the Robins).

Or you could just remove the backing (check out the miata garage) and take it to an upholstery place to sew a new one in, but it costs about as much as a new backing anyway.

I'm actually planning to do a DIY on mine this weekend. Mines all faded and I've tried all sorts of stuff to fix it, even silvo/brasso. So going to unstitch mine and break out the overlocker & some silicone sealer.

Figured I'd give it a go for fun before buying an entire new top after I get my tax out of the way in a few weeks.
