Hardtops do not typically replace soft tops, they are an addition. When you use a hardtop, you typically place the soft top in the down position, and then mount the hardtop on the car.

Some owners enjoy a hardtop only and will permanently remove the soft top, but it is not mandatory.

Hardtop will mount to the windshield latch points similar to the soft top. The rear of the hardtop will also require two Frankenstein bolts, which will replace two of the chrome screws located on the chrome metal strips behind the soft top on the outside of the car.

It will also require you to purchase side strikers so that the hardtop is firmly mounted on the sides. The side strikers will be mounted in the side panel just before the seat belt towers. It requires cutting the plastic panels, which can be done with a small rotary tool.

All years will have hardtops that can be used. Be aware that some hardtops will not have defrosters and others will. If you are purchasing used, be mindful that a hardtop with a defroster may not have the correct defroster pigtail to mate to your Miata year. In which case you can replace the pigtail if needed.

When grooming a horse should you use the soft or hard brush first and how can you tell which one is the hard brush and which is the soft?

the hard brush should be used first (after the curry comb usually) to loosen and knock off any clumps of mud and most of the dirt. a soft brush should be used after to get any remaining dust off. to tell the difference, actually rub your hand with the brush. one should seem more prickly and rough and 'hard' while the other should feel considerably less rough and more 'soft', get it?

How do you add a hardtop to a softop?

you remove the soft top and install the hard top.I am not familiar with any application where the soft top stays on, but it is not impossible. on the Austin Healy 3000's and AC Cobras I build the soft and hard tops use the same mounting points so one has to come off for the other to go on
