My poor old MX's soft top has had it the fabric is coming away from the vinyl. So what brand to get, theirs Prestige and Robins, they seem to be the better quality soft tops around. Yes I will be installing it myself. The rain rail, is a genuine Mazda the way to go? Should I replace any other parts, the soft top works great and locks down well just falling apart?

Re: New soft top.
I just installed this today.

My room mate has the prestige & we just installed the robins
Comparing to the prestige soft-top, i can say its a better quality, there is a few things you don't need to do with the robins soft-top like riveting the rain rail to the soft-top and the robins is a full 1 piece, where the prestige is a 2 piece (they have been stitched together) the robins is full 1 piece, no stitches across the back
took 1 hr to take the original roof from the car,
4 hrs to install with 2 people.

Re: New soft top.
If you do buy Prestige, then I would recommend a Robbins moulded 1 piece rain rail. A very nice item.
