Hardtop Rubber

Walked past the car, and notice that the rubber around the rear window on the hardtop is starting to make an escape for it.

Is there a simple fix for it, or can the rubber be replaced, and if so by who?

the rubber block was missing from mine when I got it so I filled the small gap with windscreen sealant (cost >$20 from bunnings for a tube). Otherwise you could drop into a windscreen repair place like Novas and get them to calk the gap for you.

Another option is to fit a carbon fibre hardtop spoiler, I have one from CarbonMiata and its the dogs bollocks! it looks awesome!

Repaired mine with a hairdryer & black silicon...just hold in place with a thin screwdriver till it cools! [may have to press it home a bit too!

I approve of this repair method. 'Find something broken? Buy something awesome to cover it'

I'll have to use that excuse.

Apart from being very sturdy yet lightweight, the hardtop spoilers have the added bonus of making your ride look less like a jellybean.

just sayin'
