This Problem Across All Years
I recently bought a used 2016 Mazda Miata convertible, and when the convertible top is up, the inner liner droops down and obscures about 1/4 to 1/3 of the rear window. I looked online for this problem and found that there are lots of 2016 Mazda Convertible Owners with the same problem. There are some fixes posted online about the problem, but many of the folks doing the fixes report that the problem reoccurs after the fix. Is there a NTSB bulleting about this problem? The rear window in a 2016 Mazda convertible is small enough to start with, let alone having a goodly portion of it obscured by the drooping headliner.

I OWN THE 2016 MX-5 ND GT WITH MANUAL TRANSMISSION AND IT HAS ABOUT 35,000 ISH MILES ON IT, BUT IT'S STARTING TO HAVE TRANSMISSION AND GEAR SHIFT PROBLEMS. 1) THE CAR HAS ISSUES WITH ACCELERATION DELAY FROM GEAR 1 & 2, THE TORQUE, HP, NONE OF IT FEEL THE SAME AS WHEN I BOUGHT IT. 2) THE CAR WILL START HAVING RATTLING NOISE ISSUES COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD, I SUSPECT FROM THE HEAT SHIELD WHICH IS MADE FROM THIN ALUMINUM MATERIAL. ALSO RATTLING FROM INSIDE, ALL THE PLASTIC PARTS FROM WITHIN THE CABIN, SEAT, DASHBOARD, ETC 3) THE GEAR BOX IS NOT SMOOTH AND SOMETIMES WOULD HAVE HARD TIME SHIFTING. IN MY CASE, I HAVE ISSUES FROM 5 TO 6. I LITERALLY HAVE TO GIVE IT 1 OR 2 SEC DELAY AFTER SHIFTING HALF WAY SO THAT IT WILL EASE ITSELF IN. ALSO SHIFTING FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR, THE TRANSMISSION JERKS 4.) WHEN MOVING OR TURNING FROM STATIONARY, THE CAR MAKES GRINDING NOISE FROM UNDER THE CAR

CAR WAS IN MOTION, WHILE DRIVING THE CAR THE RED KEY LIGHT ON THE ENGINE START BUTTON STARTED FLASHING. WHEN WE GOT HOME THE CAR WOULD NOT TURN OFF. ALSO COULDN'T SHIFT THE CAR. FINALLY GOT THE CAR TO TURN OFF AND WHEN WE STARTED THE CAR AGAIN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. CAR DEALERSHIP FOUND SEVERAL CODES STORED, BUT COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. BELIEVE THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE WITH RED WARNING LIGHTS START FLASHING WHEN DRIVING, CAR WOULD NOT TURN OFF AND WE COULD NOT SHIFT THE CAR.

WE BROUGHT THE MX-5 INTO THE DEALER FOR THE 5K OIL CHANGE AND CHECKUP WITH A COMPLAINT THAT THE INNER LINER COMES UNSNAPPED AND PARTIALLY BLOCKS VISIBILITY OF THE REAR WINDOW WHEN YOU PUT THE TOP DOWN AND LATER PUT IT UP. MAZDA SERVICE DID NOT MAKE NOTE OF THIS IN THE SERVICE AND DIDN'T FIX IT. I ASKED THE SERVICE ADVISOR ABOUT IT WHO THEN BROUGHT THE CAR BACK IN AND A TECH "FIXED" IT IN A FEW MINUTES. WHEN I GOT HOME'.SAME THING. ONCE YOU PUT THE TOP DOWN AND THEN LATER PUT IT UP THE INNER LINER UNSNAPS AND HANGS DOWN PARTIALLY BLOCKING YOUR REAR VIEW. I JUST BOOKED THE 10K OIL CHANGE AND RECEIVED NOTICE (EMAIL) BACK FROM MAZDA NOTING THE OIL CHANGE BUT NOT THE REAR WINDOW ISSUE, ONLY A NOTE SAYING CHECK SERVICE OTHER. THIS IS NOT AN UNCOMMON ISSUE. I HAVE FOUND SITES ON THE WEB INDICATING OTHERS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. IT SEEMS THERE MAY BE A TSB # 001166 (NOT SURE IF IT'S USA OR UK) RELATED TO THIS ISSUE WITH PARTS REPLACED : N247-R1-280 PROTECTOR-TOP, LH 1 LH AND N247-R1-230 PROTECTOR-TOP, RH 1 RH. IF THERE IS A TSB FOR THIS WHY ISN'T IT LISTED ON ANY FORMAL MAZDA SITES AND WHY IS THE MAZDA DEALER IGNORING IT? I EMAILED THE MAZDA DEALER BACK TO ASK THAT MY SPECIFIC COMPLAINT BE ADDED TO THE SERVICE NOTES. I DON'T WANT TO PAY FOR A NEW ROOF WHEN THE WARRANTY RUNS OUT AT 36K MILES !!!!
