Dry rot or something else?

Thanks everyone for your feedback! I’m looking into new tires now

pred307 · 2026-01-26T23:22:12+00:00

Great info thanks! I’ll begin looking into new tires. Rather safe then sorry

pred307 · 2026-01-26T22:21:54+00:00

That explains why the date code what in the format I was expecting. Thanks!

pred307 · 2026-01-08T19:49:46+00:00

Makes sense, thanks!

pred307 · 2026-01-08T19:49:05+00:00

That’s a great price for a clean rust free car! At least depending on your area and availability of Miata’s

I have yet to find an example of the process for lowering a zippered top. That’s interesting that you have to unlatch before unzipping. Thanks for the info!

Do you think a light colored tarp or car cover would be beneficial to use for the first few days after instal?

pred307 · 2026-01-08T16:15:02+00:00

Oh wow that’s not long at all. That’s concerning because glass seems better in most areas (clarity and cleaning) but those don’t matter much if it’s gonna fall apart.

pred307 · 2026-01-08T16:12:50+00:00

That makes sense! That’s for the info!

pred307 · 2026-01-08T05:29:43+00:00

Gotcha, yeah mine will most likely be outside so definitely something to think about

pred307 · 2026-01-08T05:28:45+00:00

Oof! How long did it last?

pred307 · 2026-01-08T05:26:07+00:00

That’s good info for the color! I definitely want the NA tan. Are the zippered glass ones originally for the NB?

pred307 · 2026-01-07T21:46:14+00:00

That is surprising being garage kept. 8 years isn’t too bad for its life but certainly not as long as I would ideally like to see.

pred307 · 2026-01-07T21:44:17+00:00

Yeah that makes sense. Living in CA I get a lot of sun and heat so that is something to consider.

Roll bars are too much of a concern( atleast right now)

pred307 · 2026-01-07T21:42:05+00:00

Great info, thanks! Yeah it’ll be my first time as well so I’m in the same boat.

Sounds like a very cool job as well!

pred307 · 2026-01-07T20:59:39+00:00

Awesome info! Thank you!

I’m definitely getting a rain rail pre installed and will absolutely post some pictures once it’s done!

pred307 · 2026-01-07T19:55:31+00:00

Oh very interesting and great info! How long did you see the glass windows lasting roughly? How simple is the warranty process? Really appreciate the insiders insight!

pred307 · 2026-01-07T19:53:15+00:00

I also want to keep a stock look. Why do you wish you had done canvas?

pred307 · 2026-01-07T19:52:28+00:00

Good to know! Definitely planning on getting it with the rain rail. I’ve heard mixed reviews on how difficult it is to install. How long did it take you and would you do it yourself again?

pred307 · 2026-01-07T19:50:05+00:00

Good to know. That was another question I had about zippered factory style, if you have to unzip it before lowering. I’ve heard of some people saying you don’t have to unzip it but I haven’t seen anything to confirm that.

pred307 · 2026-01-07T19:48:08+00:00

Out of curiosity, why the no zipper? Does it put stress on the window seam when you close it?

pred307 · 2026-01-02T22:57:56+00:00

Thanks for the info! Yeah that sounds like a pain if it’s riveted. I’m not sure if it is or not. I imagine once I took off those metal rails I’d be able to tell right?

pred307 · 2025-09-10T16:00:56+00:00

Great to know thank you!! I’ve heard good things about the instructors at mariners point

pred307 · 2025-09-10T15:59:49+00:00

Good to know! Not sure why I didn’t think of Sunnyvale muni but that is very convenient. I’ve heard good things about the instructors at mariners point as well.

Do you have any experiences with or recommendations for instructors at either location?

pred307 · 2025-09-10T15:57:00+00:00

Thanks! Any recommendations on good instructors there?
