Hey all i am new to the forums i have a na6. I have been wanting to replace my soft top as my current one leaks in heavy rain and looks very warn out. I Have bought a replacement soft top and was planning to replace myself but it has turned out to be a bit to difficult for me. So i wanted to know if anyone has suggestions to were i could get it done around the sydney area as i live in hornsby, or is anyone in the forums willing to do this privately and if so for how much ? Thx for your time.

MX5 Mania are near you.
I am sure they can do it.
Not sure on what they would charge you though.

After looking aroudn the forum i have seen that it has taken some people 8 hours to do the job so i suppose 450 is a prety good price an less there is anyone that can do it privately ? I will just go to mx5 mania thx for your time.

Did you buy a replacement soft-top with or without the frame?

If it came with the frame, then it's a very easy install.

Without the frame, you're looking at a few hours.

Before you hand over your hard earned money have you seen this MX-5 resource. It contains some good information on fitting the soft top youself.

I would offer to help....if you were in Victoria.
