I’ve just bought a 2010 automatic coupe and have been going through the handbook to check everything out. I’m very happy with the car so far having done a few runs in it with the Mrs, but whilst checking everything out have failed to find the emergency roof kit.
The owners manual suggests that it is in the glove compartment, it may be me, but if it is, I can’t find it or where it could be.
Can someone point me in the right direction.
Thanks, Keith
Have you looked in the compartment on the right side of the boot where the jack is stored? The kit is in a clear plastic bag.
I got my first 5 Roadster back in January and I have also failed to find the emergency roof-closing kit. I was hoping that in reply to the original post Robbie would say Dont worry about it ---- these roofs are soooo reliable But he didnt 
The sensible place to keep it is in the glove-box or behind the passenger seat (e.g. in the map pocket). As someone else pointed out, it’s not overly useful if it’s in the boot, and the roof happen to jam mid-way up.
Very good point. I’ll move mine
I would say that but that wasn’t the question. I’ve only experienced one failure and that was caused by a car rug on the rear shelf that prevented the window fully folding. Once the rug was pulled free the roof worked perfectly again.
Oh, and there what the time someone hadn’t shut their boot!!!
Just checked where the jack and tool roll are in the side pocket, even took the cover to get to the rear lights, but no luck, so will have to keep on searching.

Maybe its with the previous owner?
I should have added - if you bought from a dealer rather than privately maybe they can get in touch with the previous owner to ask. And if a Mazda dealer they should have checked that the kit was there and maybe shown you? (When I bought mine the dealer went through and made sure the wheel security key was present and that I knew where to find it!)
I wonder if some kind soul who possesses one of these kits could post the specs. of the two tools in the kit.
ie. Length of the tools, size of the thread and allen.
Shouldn`t be too difficult to make them up?!
The kit (that I have) consists of:
1 allen key, 280mm long, 30 mm head, 4mm width.
1 screw-threaded tool (cylindrical bar with a hooped head and a screw thread on the other end, resembling a meat skewer). Bar is 160mm long and 6mm diameter. The thread diameter appears to be 6mm, with a pitch of 1mm. The last two measurements weren’t so easy to take with domestic tools.
1 length of string (unmeasured).
Many thanks for the info, stuartb.
I know of two failures, one was a Sport Graphite, not mine thankfully, which was due to water ingress to the control unit on a 2013 plate so that was electrical.
The other was mechanical failure on a 2011 Sport tech including motor…luckily still under warranty as he was informed it would cost £1000 to put right and that was just one side…
