Soft Top Options for a 75 Midget

What options do I have for a soft top for my 75 Midget? Does anyone make a stow away top like the early B's have? I really didn't want a top but after a week straight of rain and another solid week of rain expected I have to do something. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
 
You have two options, the 75 Midget top or a large tarp, lol.
 
tonneau
 
Stick with the original design fold away and get one with a zip out rear window from The Little British Car Company. My friend installed one on his car last year and loves it. You can keep the top up in hot weather so the sun doesn't bake you and still get great ventilation to keep reasonably cool. He'll need it this week, it was around the mid 90s yesterday and today and he's driving his car across Kansas on his way to Breckenridge.
 
What's wrong with the OEM foldable top? My '63 has the early type that you must fully remove. Not very convenient despite being cool in an old school sort of way. I use my tonnaeu a lot, keeps the sun off the interior when parked and hides all your stuff, I often drive with it on (driver's side folded back of course). I did the same when I had a '75. I do miss being able to whip the top up at a moments notice (sudden shower).
 
Is the car stored outdoors much, or do you just want it for occasional use. There are cheap options for people that will only have the top on for a few days a year.
 
Miss Agatha only uses a tonneau, she has never had her top up.

If you get caught in the rain, not a down pour, keep the speed above 30 and all will be well.
 
X2 on the zip down rear window. Our MGB has this and it is really nice option after a day in the blazing sun. Air flow
with the side windows down and that back window zipped down
too is pretty amazing.
 
I'm going to look into the zipper back window. Is the little british car company the only ones that sell that style?
 
No I think prestige does as well
 
I got mine from Prestige, my experience was totally positive.
That's the one on my 78 Midget.
 
I ordered mine for the BugEye from Prestige. Zip down rear window is very nice. Too bad the top was DEFECTIVE and the customer service was two e-mails and a Oklahoma guarantee.
