2014+ Top Replacement Source?

My understanding is you can order pretty much anything. The problem is that if it's a warranty claim they know so little about the top that they just replace it

My understanding is you can order pretty much anything.

The problem is that if it's a warranty claim they know so little about the top that they just replace it all. When it comes to driving in and fixing it out of warranty they're going to default to the same thing because that's all they know.

A few pages printed out of the service manual isn't going to make the mechanic, no matter how well he was initially trained in auto-mechanics, knowledgeable about a very rare car. We can't really fault him for that. Has Nissan gone over 9,000 roadsters sold since they first came out? With natural on the road attrition we'll be lucky if there are 5 or 6 thousand actually out there. That's barely one good day of Mustang or Camaro sales. I like the exclusivity, but it comes at a cost.

Seems to me the best bet will be to order the part then take it to a top shop that has experience and have them do the work. At least they'll be used to working with cloth tops.
