Anyways mine cost me about $400 all up delivered, with plastic window (to clear rollbar)..

This is my replacement thread: http://mx5cartalk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=28&t=29161&hilit=stayfast

It has been on the car for two years now, and still looks brand spanking new.


I'm just not sure if it would work with the mx-5 plus roll bar

what exactly is the difference between the NA and NB brown davis roll bar?

The plastic on my soft top is stuffed, and the vinyl is looking a bit worn. I might be interested, but i'm told the Robbins tops are the best.

Tien, I told you I have the stayfast and its from the same mob Green Comet got his from. I also have the torquebox rollbar and fits beautifully even with hardtop. You have my email if you want to have a closer look. I need to get something done from you shortly anyway so I'll email you soon.

Is your glass?

Does it sit down flat on the parcel shelf?

I'm worried that the rollbar will hold the top from sitting flat on the shelf

yes its glass.

the glass sits flat. The side lifts a little due to the TB. No different than what it used to be because its stayfast and is thicker therefore sits a little higher than my previous vinyl. Look, just have a look at it and judge for yourself. No point asking back and forth and for me to try and paint you a picture.

edit: like green comet said, Daveshouze is no longer in business. There are plenty of others around.

This is the issue I had with the new top with my windblocker ......

And here was my solution, style bars were not the problem - only the winblocker.
