I purchased an NB soft top from YanMa YatTai.

Top looks great, fair price, excellent transaction.

Bought HJTs NB top, whom helped me fit. Relatively straight forward, haven't been sure what to do with those straps!

Couple of wear points I only recently noticed on both sides near shoulder, trying to source the cause of this.

The wear points sound like a problem that is found with earlier NBs. Mazda issued a service bulletin, and where required, fitted different set plates. The service bulletin link shows where the wear points are.

New set plates ==>> http://www.mx5parts.co.uk/genuine-mazda ... -2449.html

Note that the new set plates have a 'hump' on them. This allows the NB roof to fold without being pinched.

The 2nd hand NB soft top and frame that I bought late last year, and just fitted, came with the new set plates.
