    Wtb: Oem hardtop

    Hey MazdaRoadster members, this is my first post here!
    Currently in the market for an OEM hardtop, color isn't crucial but condition is preferred to be in good-great. I will be putting it on my classic red NA.
    I'm located in Florida and willing to travel throughout the state for the right hardtop, so please reply below if you happen to have one you're willing to part with!
    Best regards,
    Ian.

    Ah! I'm jealous haha. I'm pretty new to the miata crowd, this is the first one I've owned. If you happen to know anyone who has a hardtop and is willing to sell, please send them my way. I have a water leak issue going on with my weatherstripping on my top and this summer rain is getting the best of me. I've always loved the styling of the OEM hardtop and combining that with hopefully being more water-tight sounds like a win-win.

    I sold the 2 used ones I had and used the money to buy a brand new one from Mazda.

    You can ask Alex Todd on here to see if he has anymore left.

    You can find him on FB as SNS Mazda Parts.

    ALso, if your leak is at the split in the rubber seals above the center of the window, try this. Get some rubberized drawer liner (I think just about any Dollar store or Home Depot carries it) - it's the grippy stuff you use to line the bottom of kitchen drawers, etc. Cut a strip 1-1/2 wide x 6 to 8 inches long. Insert it between the vinyl top and where it touches the convertible top frame. It forms a small deflector and keeps the rain water from running down the top and into that split between the rubber strips.

    Hammerhead,
    I really appreciate all your help and kindness. I'll be sure to reach out to Alex on Facebook. I've adjusted the frame rails for the top seals to be closer to the window but that seemed to not do much. Perhaps this trick your'e describing will go a long way. Is there a write up/pictures on what you were describing? I was curious to see how it looks.
    Thanks.
