Out of curiosity why wouldn't you want the side windows for visibility?

While we are talking tops, Mine is showing signs of wear. Does anyone make a top with a zipper rear window?

Yes, look on e-bay. There is another thread on here about the quality of those tops. Mixed reviews was what I got from it.

Is it either one of these? Has anybody used these companies?

I bought mine from Prestige. After seven years with no zip out rear window and a year and a half with a zip out rear window, it's well worth the extra money. The quality and fit are good and I installed it (my first) with a friend that had done a Spitfire top.

Sorry, I was thinking zip out rear window when I wrote my response above. Don't know about any without the side windows. I'm sure an upholstery shop could alter one for you.

As an opinion: I have a Miata with no side quarter windows. It makes the car look sleeker to be sure, but you loose a lot when driving in reverse, backing out, or turning at an angle crossroad. Wish that it had the side quarter windows many times. If it was available for Spridgets without side windows, I wouldnt get it.

Hello I bought the stayfast canvas from ezsofttops for my 74, the quality is pretty good came with just basic instructions but the fit was perfect and installing it is pretty straight forward all the hole locations were marked with dimples,the hardest part was getting it stretched let it set in the sun for few hours over a couple days,but think they only sell the 3 window ones.
