I have just bought a Nevada 1.8 with fitted hardtop - my first MX5 and I love it ! When the arctic blasts go and I can take it off is there any firm cheaper than MX5 parts for the hardtop cover or is it just as easy to wrap it in and old blanket.I have a garage but space is limited though I should be able to hang it from the wall.Or does anybody have one for sale in the North East area at a reasonable price ?
I got a nice padded one off Ebay last year for about £30 so worth keeping an eye out on there, although the going rate “buy it now” price is about £50 - £60. Hangs up nicely on the garage wall.
Thanks for that I will try ebay.I have just cleaned my garage out today and managed to get the MX5 inside so I am contemplating removing the hardtop anyway.
It really depends on you personally - but a lot of people (myself included) would hate to be unable to throw the roof back on the unexpected sunny winters day because of a hardtop.
If however, open top motoring in the cold is not for you, then you might as well - it will protect the roof, make the car quieter, and make it a bit easier to clean, to list a few advantages.
