How do you like your hardtop?

PS, I just calculated (based on checking under my wifes side of the sink) that you could fit approx 24 tampon boxes under the window on the package shelf with the softop removed.

Agreed. The NA and NB hardtops are fan-*******-tastic looking. The hardtop is very similar to my buddy's Triumph TR6 hardtop what with the wraparound glass shape.
By the way, the TR6's hardtop is aluminum, and it's still not a structural member of the TR6's body or chassis.
The hardtop for the new NC looks great, too, but without the old model's wraparound glass, it's lost some of the character.

If it has rubber mounting seals and "a little leeway," then it's not significantly adding anything to chassis stiffness.
The only thing it might be doing is decreasing a little bit of windshield frame shake, but that's not really the same league as chassis stiffening.

i was rocking the soft top for awhile, then it leaked. i replaced it and it stopped leaking, now its snowing....i bought a hardtop removed the soft top and havn't removed the hardtop since then.
i really like how the hardtop makes the miata look and also makes me feel that the car is a bit more safe then it was with the soft top.
mine is base model one from 1991, no defroster or liner and it fits with the hdhcht (hard dog hard core hard top rollbar)

If YOU absolutely love the idea of keeping it forever. It would kill the resale. I doubt you could sell it, even to a hardtop fanatic.
PS, I just calculated (based on checking under my wifes side of the sink) that you could fit approx 24 tampon boxes under the window on the package shelf with the softop removed.
