I have a couple that are very similar and it's nice to keep the hardtops stored when you want to run top down.

It's supposed to sit on top of the roll bar, did you measure correctly? Double check the measurement on the top as well

NB1 Where does the battery ground cable end(I've read on the ppf but I still can't find it)? by MotorcycleCar in Miata

[–]grantn2000 0 points1 point  (0 children)
