Sierra Auto Tops Replacement Rain Rails for Miata Convertible Top, fits Mazda Miata MX5 models 1990-2005, Premium Grade Rubber PVC, Black

Really high quality rain rail. Much better and stronger then the brittle OEM ones, my only complaint is I couldn’t get the supplied “easy rivets” to push though, it was almost as if they were too short, not really an issue as I just used regular rivets instead with a rivet gun. Also to anyone struggling to get it attached to the top, try zip tying it though the bolt holes before you start riveting it on, took me a second to realize this but made it much smoother to install.

Was easy to install and has help up great so far

Better value than the robbins rain rail and also fits into the robbins soft top without an issue. No leakage and seems good quality. Installation is simple with the instructions however some holes may not be fully punched through.

The rain rail that was on my Miata was a three piece rail that was improperly installed before I bought the car and leaked. This one is a solid design (one piece) so there is no chance of a seem leak. Very high quality construction and less expensive than I found anywhere else. GET THIS ONE!

Product was good the holes didnt match up on a couple of the bolts but we got it to work after some struggle so far so good been about a month with it and it’s good soo far other than the holes.

We all come to the 'zon to get the best deal, right? Well, this is a good deal.This rain rail was a great fit, The all rubber construction is very pliable and really helps in the install. (The OEM was rubber in the bottom 'U' and thin hard plastic in the rest, prone to breakage and stiff to work with.) Many have commented on the rivets, I didn't use them. Actually, I installed the rain rail into the car first, then fitted the top into it. It worked great. Make sure you fit the center retainer rail first and then the side retainers. Due to the curvature, the center will want to overlap the sides otherwise.I suggest you have this installed for you if you're not a handy type. The whole top replacement project can be a bit fiddly and frustrating. If you choose to do yourself, take your time and be very observant as you remove the old top to make sure you see how things are attached, etc.

The rivets that were shipped were the standard blind rivets, not like the pop rivets shown in the images. And they were also too small for the holes in the material (both sides). To remedy I bought some 3/16" x 1/2" rivets and #08 x 7/16" washers to use on the back side. Worked great for bind the rain rail to the top although I haven't installed the whole thing onto the car yet.Update: While attaching the top to the car it was very difficult to push each of the retainers on. --especially with the felt washers. It helped to bolt one side of the retainer on all the way, then work the next bolt, etc. I ended up splitting the felt washer and sliding them on underneath. This difficulty might also be due to the rivets not being the pop rivet style which would not require as much clearance behind the retainer. If I had to do it over again I would search for proper pop rivets.

Holes didn't line up to the replacement top that apparently came from the same company. Imbalance in the quantity of the "easy rivets" with more female ends than male ends. After hammering them down using a bucking bar in the opposite end and using a dead blow hammer, some of the rivets popped off and some of the male ends ended up getting bent. Due to the lack of male ends, I ended up having to straighten them to reuse them.Also, the way it was packaged; the rail was rolled up in a box opposite to the contour in which the rail is designed to be installed, making it difficult to overall install onto the top and into the vehicle.Because this item was needed as my OEM top and rail have cracked and dry rotted, I reluctantly continued and completed the installation.I do not recommend this product.
