CONVERTIBLE TOP COVER FLAPPING WHILE DRIVING
APPLICABLE MODELS/VINS
All MX-5 Miata with a VIN of JM1NA35**S0614106 to JM1NA35**T*704232
DESCRIPTION
The top cover may flap while driving at high speeds [+50 mph (+80 km/h)] with the convertible top down and the top cover installed. This flapping is
caused when the front buttons on the cover become disconnected, allowing air to circulate under the cover.
To eliminate the flapping, cover straps are incorporated into production. Customers complaining of this concern should have the straps installed
according to this bulletin.
REPAIR PROCEDURE
1.
Remove the cover from the vehicle.
2.
Bore two (2) holes in the cover 2 - 3 mm in diameter, 20 mm from the cover notch and 5 - 6 mm from the cover edge.
3.
Repeat step 2 on the opposite side.
