Hi guys,

I received my 350z roadster 2005 this morning. My top is teared, I was told it could be repaired, but the top is really "dry", it will probably tear again really soon.

I see that there are lots of differents tops. The guy at the shop told me about cloth, vinyl or denim top. Which one would you recommand me? The OEM top is cloth right? My top is black, the car is yellow.

How much should I pay for a top? Would you recommand something on ebay?

Living in Canada sucks, I am now driving a Chevrolet Metro 99 while my Eclipse spyder 97 and my 350z roadster are stored :-(

Thanks a lot!

I'm not sure about that Dave. I think I'd cry if my top got torn.

stay away from cloth , just go with the original.

Thanks Karas.
Any more input? OEM vinyl or cloth top?

You might look for a Robbins top. They have been in business for about 50 years. They make both vinyl and cloth tops depending on the application. I would be worried buying a top from e-bay.

Just role with the top down, and carry a towel in the car to wedge up there if it starts to rain.

Hi there. I live in Regina Saskatchewan and we have a business here called Fiberenew. They do a liquid canvas patch. It works awesome to seal up rips and tears before putting your car away for the winter but doesn't wear well putting your top up and down a lot. I guess it would repend where your rip is. Mine is right beside the back window
