Fortunately, there appears to be robust replacement options out there for the inferior OEM parts.

Indeed.... I had 11 years of trouble free use out of my roadster until this past May. It was trial by fire all at once this year with my top after a hydraulic line cracked. After a brief misdiagnosis I replaced the line and its back in operation again but I'll never have the confidence in it I did before. I have over 110k on it and its been to every corner of the US and Canada but its long haul days are over. I wouldn't want the top to fail when I'm 2,000 miles away from home.
Too bad Nissan isn't bringing a new long haul friendly roadster to market as it will force me to look elsewhere when I buy again... likely in 2023. A Miata is FAR, FAR too tiny, the Boxter is somewhat small as well. It will probably be a new BMW Z4 or the Corvette convertible. They are the only 2 seaters I know of that are large enough to be comfortable during long drives. Sadly the Jag F Type roadster is gone as well.
