If you'd like to ditch the 90-93 buckles and use the NB ones, you would need to install a set of 1994-2000 seatbelts.ġ994-1997: Direct fit with use of NB seat rails.ġ990-1993: NB1 (1999-2000) seatbelts can be used in conjunction with 1994-2005 seats that have the seat-mounted seatbelt buckle.


However, the 90-93 seatbelt does not work correctly with the NB seat-mounted buckles, so those can be removed from your NB seats and you would retain your 90-93 body-mounted buckles. Hood, Bumpers, Fenders, Doors, Mirrors, Trunklid, Headlights, Taillights, Fog Lights, Side Skirts, Mudflaps, Gas Lid and Power Antenna: Do not fit.ġ990-1993: Using the NB seat rail they bolt on directly to the car. Rear Bumper Side Marker Reflector (Red): Direct Fit, but the NB's only have a reflector, while the NA's have an actual light, so we do not recommend this. The NB ones are less prone to cracking and rusting.ĭoor Sill Plates / Scuff Plates: Not a direct fit, requires modifications.įront Bumper Side Marker Lights (amber): Direct Fit If you're using the updated latches on Miatas produced after, make sure to use the updated striker plates as well. Top Latches: 1999-2002 are a direct fit, same design. Soft Top Weatherstripping / Seals: Direct Fit Make sure to use new tension cables for an NB when using the NB frame. We prefer to use the NB frame on an NA when installing a new aftermarket replacement top with glass window because it is already equipped with the window support straps from the factory and is easier to lower and raise the top. If you'd like to use the defroster function of the NB softtop, follow the link above in the hardtop section.Ĭonvertible Top Frame: Direct fit. Reuse your existing top latches and strikers. If using an aftermarket roll bar that was designed for an NA, check to see if it is compatible with a glass window top. Soft Top Assembly with Glass Window: Direct Fit on a car with no roll bar.

This way you would have matching top latch and striker designs for both your soft top and hard top. If the hardtop you purchase came from a 2003-2005 Miata you would need to change out the front top latches to the 1990-2002 style, so that these can be compatible with your existing top latch striker plates.
