[SiIviaSr20]

Dude do mine... I'll give you beer man....

[dougfirby]

Don't worry, bro, about all the chippy comments. I found your video very entertaining. I'll be trying my installation in a couple of weeks. Wish me luck.

[road5ter86]

wait, you installed it without taking the frame off the car! wow. im impressed. is it easier with the frame on or off the car?

[CruzinChris]

@road5ter86 The top does NOT need to come off the car. Read more about this in my written instruction on Miata.net.. Garage.. Tops: Illustrated Top Instructions.

Nice job! I like your puppy.

[mcgmark]

Was this fucking music really necessary?

[barreltrollololol]

That's pro.

[EdBossaNova]

Whats the point of this video if we don't know whats going on? can you please add some tutorial sound to the video and maybe slow it down a bit??

[CruzinChris]

@EdBossaNova What a huge sense of entitlement you have. This time lapse video was featured for a month on the front page of Miata.net. They understood the “point” that this not an instructional video.

Do-it-yourselfers one important thing to remember is that the "rain rail" should be intact; no cracks , splits or damage, if so you'll get water in the trunk even with a new top, the rain rail can be repaired or replaced. If you know what your doing it should take between 3-4 hours to complete the entire install. Take it to a pro and get the "budget top" or the hard glass replacement for between 500-600 installed.

CruzinChris, why oh why didn't you do a tutorial on this? I've been looking around for this very thing, but I can't tell what's going on with your vid. I've got a '94 Miata, and am a bit afeered that I'm going to hit a bad snag somewhere. I do have instructions, but a nice video makes all the difference in the world.

[lilyroselynn]

My Dad just got a new top for our 1993Mazda Miata. Do you know where we can download instructions from? He's never replaced a top for a mazda before, just about 30 years ago for his old MG Midget. Thanks.

[willpeterson]

how long did it take you in real time to complete?

[kingcr3b]

I like how it just pops out at u, cos of how awesome the color black and red are together!

[HateMustangs]

nice BBS's

[Projectmx5]

never seen anyone install the top while on the car like that, I personally have done four top changes and I do all the work off the car. Good Job!

[zYzmrZIzYz]

how much u charge for the labor man ?

[stradplayer614]

tops are a pain in ass especially glass backs

[CruzinChris]

Actually, I enjoy putting a new top on a Miata... part of owning a convertible sports car :)

[stradplayer614]

probly not as bad for nice small cars! i hate these damn lifted up impalas and old ones makes it alot more diff and have to get on a damn ladder lol

[vidmonkey]

nice video

[JoeyMarie68]

oh hay! that looks like it was hard work !! how much would you charge someone for that work?? Im' just curious...i need my mustang top replaced and im' having a hell of a time finding a fair price...:3

[birosca8]

Hello....Great video!!!! I purchased a Mazda Miata 95 and I need to replace the soft top..but I know nothing about MIATAS...I tried to see what my options are but there are just too many...I wanted to ask you where did you buy that top and what kind is it?..I have more questions but let me know if I can write you about them.....

Thanks in advance...

[UltimateTuner10]

good work man

what was the actual time taken to do this??

[CruzinChris]

It takes me about three hours.

[AveiMil]

Great work! I'm about to change my own top on my miata. This video serves well as a general reference. Thanks!

[DEVASTATOR9999]

hey men do you do a side jobs,,i need to replace my 94 318i top,,,where r u located.

good job....

[CruzinChris]

Sorry, only Miatas.

[CruzinChris]

You can't prevent a real pro from entering your car -- convertible or not. Alarms don't work unless YOU can hear it and call the cops or intervene. What you should do is not leave anything in the interior of the car in plain sight like CDs or mounts for equipment like iPods and GPS.

[jreuter56]

Uda Man Chris. It looks fantastic, no wrinkles and the color Mazda should have picked. Gr8 Job.

[s0verybored]
