Important Information

The MGA Roadster convertible top is made, as original, with clear vinyl windows. The three windows are electronically welded into the fabric. Some of the "A" Roadsters were made with a single window. We offer the three window version.

Original MGA Roadster top fabric was a British vinyl very similar to the American made colonial vinyl which we use to make these fine reproductions. Colonial vinyl is a crush (leather) grain vinyl.

Although all original Roadster tops were black, we are offering white as an option.

These tops are made to order from original patterns.

The snaps for fastening the new top are not pre-installed into our vinyl tops.

We also offer tonneau covers. These will fit 1959-62 Roadsters. They install with snaps, as original. Snaps for tonneau covers are supplied uninstalled. Proper installation requires locating snap locations from the body receptacles and installing into the cover.

Self-installation and instructions: many owners of MGA Roadsters perform their own installation. We provide an instruction booklet for those who wish to either decide upon or to go ahead with their own installation. The instruction booklet is listed below under accessories.

The most difficult portion of the job is the first half of the replacement which consists of restoring or replacing the front wood bow and re-covering it with the new top's front bow cover. During this job the new fabric is wrapped all around the front bow and stapled in place. Also the front corner wing nuts and the latches are re-fastened. You can examine your top to check the condition of these hardware parts, which are available from mg specialists. While well within the skill set of the experienced "handyman" there are some meticulous steps to execute. They are covered in the instruction booklet.

CONVERTIBLE TOP FABRICS
Almost all manufacturers use Haartz fabrics. They may specify "heaviest weight" or "original replacement" in ways that seem reassuring. But they do not really tell the whole story. Please bear in mind that two things dominate, by far, the quality issue: (a) the manufacturing quality control in the factory that makes the top and (b) the care and thoroughness of the installation. There is a trade-off in weight: heavier is better for resisting tear through, but lighter is better for flexibility and abrasion from within that may arise from movement. Almost all our tops are a flexible medium density (36 oz.) fabric. Heavier is not better in most cases. Where it is, because of the top design, we will say so and the top will be made of the heavier vinyl.
Warranties outlined here are only applicable for products installed by a professional trim shop or professional upholstery shop. For Convertible Tops, and related products, the manufacturer will void the warranty for any product that is not professionally installed; manufacturer defects are covered by the warranty in such cases. The manufacturer is not responsible for damage due to improper installation.
