These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

8 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Would like to have my light gray cab top dyed to black along with the roolbar cover to complete the topdown look. Anyone ever done this? Thanks yall!

POST 3Original post

you can NOT dye the top black unless it is already black. trust me on this. I did the research on it since my dealer stopping covering the top under warranty. There is a top dye out there (forgot the brand) but they clearly state that it is ONLY for faded black tops. I did it the correct way and spent the money to have it done right......factory top and installed with warranty. Not cheap though. I think the total bill was about $3K for parts and labor.

POST 4Original post

A replacement fabric top from Porsche is about $2200. + labor for installation. There may be cheaper solutions out there. Check with your local high-end automotive upholstery shop. The cross bow, and roll bar covers are under $200.

POST 5Original post

Try calling Duettomotors.com, although they specialize in Miatas, they carry tops for all cars at very resonable prices. These guys were fantastic to work with and the top I got (944 cab) is very durable. I have had it for over two years with no fading or wearing. I don't see the 996 tops listed, however, they didn't list the 944 until I called and ordered one from them.

POST 6Original post

You should get the new top from Gahh with the glass mirror.

POST 7Original post

I replaced mine (2002 - using existing glass) with a GAHH for $1575 installed. I paid $75 extra to have the other stuff (roll bar covers, etc) recovered and about $100 for a yard of fabric to match. Probably your best bet just to get a new top and shop around for the install.
