Thanks Buzzman. Yea both Mazdas I’ve owned had paint and clear coat issues, regardless of the obvious which is living in Florida. I had a 1990 Cadillac Seville that the paint was always perfect even in Florida

Yea I tried the foam caulking or backer rod. It did not help. I really think my latch needs to be adjusted. The soft tops latch adjusts easily. The hard top you have to take the latch apart. 2 tiny Phillips head screw, a spring and a pin that holds the rod. Great video on YouTube but not sure I...

Thanks for all of your help. Greatly appreciated.

Ok. Thanks for your response. So I guess a Ronnie's Car Wash should be avoided. I was more concerned about the pressure on it's retractable top.

I read on Mazda's MX-5 2016 Manual that you should that you should not go through an Automatic Car Wash if you have a power retractable hard top. Is this true? Do you guys and girls only wash yours by hand? I need a wash and don't really want to wash and wax by hand. Read Here for a 2016 MX-5...

I will try to get pictures soon. All the pictures will tell though is that the weather stripping on passenger windshield has broken parts in it. I ordered some Poly Foam Caulk Saver and will see if that helps by sticking a piece inside the broken weather stripping to give it a tighter fit when...

Yea right side. I found the answer on here in an older post. They talk about the Latch screws not being tight and taking latch apart to fix it, but I reexamined mine and it looks like I am missing weather stripping on the right side. Right where the top comes down. A little tore up. Not sure how...

The only thing is I wish I was smaller. I'm only 5' 8" but with the top up, I knock my head a bit. Maybe it's letting me know to never put the top up. ;-)

Just got mine last week. First one. Had a 22 year old Protege. The Miata is an amazing little car. You'll love it!

Just bought this. Had a Protege' before this. So far I'm loving it.

I held on to my Protege' DX for a lot longer than I thought I would but Just yesterday I got a 2008 retractable hard top MX-5 Miata Grand Touring.Car was not kept clean but other than a little clear coat issues (Florida) the body looks good.

Just purchased a used MX-5 with the hard top. When I have the top closed and I'm driving I hear a creaking/cracking type noise off and on right side passenger side coming from the top. Anyone know what the noise is? The top goes up and down with no issues. I just hear the sound when top is up.I...

Thank for the body style, years and models. I did wonder about that. I would like a hard top. I think that's only on the 2007 or later models, not sure. And thanks for the Welcome.

Thanks for the advice and the heads up. I'm not really a car guy like the rest of you on here. So I will take it to my mechanic to get it looked at. Heard about the rust under wheel wells and trim. Red, Silver, White or black would be my preference. Just not Green like my Protege. ;-)

I was on here years ago. I still have my 2000 Protege DX 1.6 and its still running but I'm thinking about getting a Miata. And don't laugh or hate, I want a 2.0 Automatic with the hard top. Maybe a 2008-2009. Used car prices like everything else is threw the roof now but when prices get back to...

Update: There is not enough clearance on my model Protege' to just put a shorter Power Steering belt on. You must take the clutch, pulley and the Coil completely off to get clearance. Much bigger job. I finally had it done and belt is on and running fine.
