I do realize that this video is super long, but I think it needed to be. All of the other soft top install videos had a lot of missing pieces. Hopefully this fills in some of the gaps. I have installed a Robbins soft top with glass window on my 1997 NA Miata. This top is OEM style with a zip down glass window. Due to the extra weight of the glass, I had to also install support straps to the frame. I go step by step to try and help out as much as I can. This video is not so much for my typical subscriber to watch, but more of a step by step instructional video for anyone trying to tackle this job by themselves.
Due to the long length of this video, I have provided some key shortcuts here so you can jump to the part that best suits your needs.
