    MX-5 PRHT Deck Not Closing when Top Down

    Thank you. Of course you are correct. I got the car a year ago today. Always had the Plastic Windward up. So I put it down last week and noticed the gaps and freaked out. It was a user error an ID01T error. Me being the idiot. Thanks again for your reply. Have a great day.

    2008 MX-5 Rearview Mirror Removal question

    The lamination on the old mirror is pealing. Bought an OEM replacement on Amazon. Saw video on YouTube about sticking a screwdriver to release and slide the old mirror out. Is this the proper way on my model car? I tried inserting the screwdriver but the old mirror does not slide out. This a...

    2008 Mazda PRHT Automatic Car Wash Ok?

    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

    Mazda MX-5 Miata Noise

    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...

    2008 Mazda PRHT Automatic Car Wash Ok?

    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.

    2008 Mazda PRHT Automatic Car Wash Ok?

    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...

    Mazda MX-5 Miata Noise

    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...

    Mazda MX-5 Miata Noise

    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...

    What do you Love/Hate about your MX-5?

    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. ;-)
