ND SOFT TOP REPLACEMENT

[r2uzenblot]

I can only concur the experiences with Mazda warranty; pretty awful. I was seriously tempted to get rid of my MX-5 for a Fiat Spider because of their poor responses.

Well I have done just over 80 miles with the new hood fitted. (due to a stay in hospital) and today the inner lining has fallen down again. Tomorrow I shall be back to the dealers with the part numbers and try to get a permanent fix.   As much as I love the car if they can not fix it then I shall sell her and get some thing else.

hi there, mazda are aware of two issues with the ND softtop

1  part numbers to advise your garage to order and replace to keep the inner lining from falling down are

AN247R1280

AN247R1230

 these are claimable under mazda warranty for a rectification as above

 

2 they are also aware of the “front edge” catching on the style bars behind the seats and rubbing the fabric of the softtop

again, there are two spacers that mazda supply under warranty - they move the bar at a slight angle forwards so that the fabric of

the softtop clears it when up and downing the roof

part number is N243 R1 020R 02

the mazda ref number for this issue is   R048/16A

please ring your mazda dealer and tell him you want to book in for prior approval on a warranty claim for both of these issues above

 

hope this helps

I have given the highlighted numbers to my Mazda dealer and they have come back to me to say that Mazda do not recognise the numbers given
