[MSCW list] Getting to be time for a new top.

[David Lane]

Sorry for asking something that has been asked before, but.......

The soft top on my 2002 Miata is starting to wear thin around the glass.  Rubber bits are rotting, and for the first time in the very hard rain on Monday, it let some water into the back corner of the rear shelf.

Sooooo, it's time to shop for a top, and (most importantly) an installer.   I would prefer someone in the Baltimore area, or someone who by arrangement might be able to do the job in a day (so I don't have to make two trips).

Any wisdom on top materials, manufacturer, and installer would be welcome.  

Best wishes,

David Lane
