Just a reminder to those who own hard tops....
people suck.




someone smashed my passenger window and tried to steal the hardtop. my antitheft system somehow worked (mixed nuts, bolts, screw heads, etc hardware holding everything down) and they couldn't get it off. They ended up trying to pry up the hardtop and broke the rear mount.

On that note, anyone know how to fiberglass?

 

This seem to be a common occurrence in CA

 

CA, where the weather is beautiful enough 9-12 months out of the year to drive with the top down, but everyone wants hard tops.

Sorry man, that sucks. What does rear window glass cost these days? I used to think that it was nearly the cost of a hardtop, but that was back when prices were sane.

Good luck fixing it. And when you do, put decent tint on, whatever is on there now sucks.

 

Yup. I ended up getting a good deal on one a decade ago but those deals don't exist anymore..

For anyone else needing glass, pn is NB40-63-931A. Its around $400 now.

By the way @thebeerbaron, saw your build thread, looking good! Fellow engineer here - good luck with it. I've got my own swap going on a different chassis

 

Can you imagine not wanting to have a job so badly that you have to do research to know that a ******* miata hard top is worth money?

 

My condolences, what an asshat. And BTW, it'll be more than just the $400, since the rubber trim is pricey too. I believe you can't reuse it.

I've thought about painting my hardtop hardware bright red as a visual deterrent, but this proves some are too stupid to figure basic **** out.

 

That's tragic.

 

My condolences! My car is never parked outside, but when it is I almost can't sleep because of posts like this running through my mind. Hope you get it all fixed back up!

 

Yikes.. people are horrible.

IF you can find rear glass with defrost it'll cost upward of 600-700.
