#3814 of 4340 Bummer by ateixeira Sep 29, 2004 (7:15 am)
and sorry to hear that. I don't even lock my doors for that exact reason.   The M2 top's advantage is that you don't have to unzip the window first. But I think the window itself is smaller, isn't it?   I have a '93, it has the plastic window, which I replaced with a Robbins top with glass. You still need to unzip, but it's OK, no big deal. I'm very happy with the top.   Performance Buyers Club in VA installed my new top for $800, and it's been perfect.   -juice Replies to this message: kymike (Sep 29, 2004 11:42 am)

Replying to: ateixeira (Sep 29, 2004 7:15 am) Yes. The M2 top has a no-zip window. I believe that the M1 frame can be modified to accept an aftermarket no-zip window, but if I went this route, I would go for a used M2 top in good condition. I just wanted to mention that the M2 frame would fit the M1 to add another option.
#3816 of 4340 04 Windblocker speakers by 2004silvermx-5 Oct 05, 2004 (10:27 am)
Are other people disappointed with the sound (or lack of sound) produced by the Bose windblocker speakers in their 2004 Miatas? Does anyone have a solution for increasing the volume of these rear speakers so you can actually hear them?   Thanks, Don 2004 Silver Miata w/6-speed Replies to this message: red05speedmx5 (Oct 11, 2006 5:11 am)

can you post a picture of this windblocker speaker, I have heard about this on the Mazdaspeed Miata, but I didn't know it was available on regular Miatas as well.
#3818 of 4340 Rain water coming inside on the floor boards in my Miata by miamigirl Oct 06, 2004 (8:56 am)
I keep getting water inside my door panels and floor boards, even after replacing the top and removing the bottom floorplugs. I've cleaned out the door holes, and the convertible top chute on each side. The company that put on the new top (I thought that would solve the problem) tried to find a leak and couldn't. They resealed the rubber mouldings. There doesn't seem to be any gaps along the windowstriping. When I turn left, the water gushes out of the lower passenger front area. The floor is always wet.   Does anyone else have this problem? Replies to this message: kymike (Oct 07, 2004 5:00 pm)

You could have debris in the drain holes for the fresh air vents (under the wiper blades). Can you pour water in there (not too much!) and see the water draining behind the front tire?   Also, has anyone ever worked INSIDE your door. if they did, and forget to replace the plastic sheeting (moisture barrier), that'll cause this too.   I don't have a Miata in front of me but I think these observations apply.

Replying to: miamigirl (Oct 06, 2004 8:56 am) Does the passenger floor get wet when it is not raining? Is it always on that side? It may be an A/C cooling unit drain tube that is clogged or came loose under the dash.
#3821 of 4340 pleas help-leaking roof by shorty11 Oct 10, 2004 (6:24 pm)
hi. I have a 95. lately the roof leaks. when i get in the car in the morning the seats are wet just from the dew that accumulates on the roof. i think the water is coming from where the top of the window meets the rubber. anyone else experience this and what can be done to fix it? thanks.
#3822 of 4340 by ateixeira Oct 13, 2004 (12:52 pm)
It might be the cable that helps secure the top.   Mine broke and I didn't even know what it was. It leaked very slightly, until I replaced the whole top. The installer pointed it out to me.   So check those cables! There is one on each side I think.   -juice   PS It was $80 extra to replace it, installed
#3823 of 4340 Turbos????????? by balas Oct 14, 2004 (7:04 pm)
After a year and a half, I finally talked my wife into getting a miata. Had my heart set on a nice new 5-sp LS. There seems to be a large amount of mazdaspeed miatas in the inventories of the dealers that I have searched. I realize that there are some cosmetic differences between the two cars, but my main concern is the turbo charged engine. Can anyone tell me how dependable they are for the long run? (I will probably have this car for at least 10 years.) Are there any special start up or shut down procedures that have to be followed? thanks
