I noticed a tear in my 06 roadster top near the rear window. The car is 7 years old and that is about the shelf life of these tops in the south. I was going to get the twill vinyl, because that was what Nissan installed as original. I am pretty good with my hands and wanted to know if anyone documented the changing procedure of the top. I have done a few other convertibles without much problem. Is there anything I should be extra careful of? Also is there any real advantage to getting a real cloth ragtop instead of the OEM top?

 

Did ya look about 3 posts up at the sticky?

 

Bro, there's 11ty thousand threads on the first page of this section about that.

 

Check under 350z Roaster. top of forum, all kinds of threads about convertible top replacement and issues. Good luck.
