I was on the Miata list for a while and lots of the listers use them. Some
have made their own out of Plexiglas others buy commercial models. Consensus

My new Merc.S class cabrio has all this standard.I'm afraid that in the summer
I will have to switch the airco on high to get the old-fashioned open
top driving feeling ha ha ha .........
