Can you replace the rear window in a Mazda Miata soft top if the plastic broke or do you have to replace the whole thing?

Answer 1

I do have a soft top that had a plastic rear window which was replaced with a glass one. I bought my car used and I was told that the replacement kit and work is expensive.

I have a '94 Miata and my back window is pretty busted up. I was getting ready to shell out the $400 dollars for a new back window + labor fees to have it installed, when I came across two excellent DIY rear window replacements. They're a little tedious and time consuming, but will only cost you around $30-$50 rather than a large sum of cash. It involves cutting out the back window and carefully glueing in a new plastic piece. Both websites go into great detail with the instructions and have pictures. If you're interested in trying this task yourself to save a chunk of change, the websites are either; jimmypribble.com (look for Mazda miata rear window replacement). Or there is another by Mike Davis, I'm not sure of the website, but just Google him and miata window replacement and you'll find it. Good Luck!

I created a tutorial for a diy Miata rear window replacement. If follows Jimmy Pribble's tutorial with some minor changes. Please check it out at http://sites.Google.com/site/miatarearwindowrepair .
