Mazda MX5 Miata Trunk Lid Lift Kit Install - Underdog Garage
Переглядів 11 тис.3 роки тому
Hey folks! Welcome back to another episode of Underdog Garage! Today we are going to be installing a trunk lid lift kit for our 2003 Mazda MX5 Miata. Our Miata's trunk is not staying open. The torsion springs just don't have enough tension to keep the trunk lid open, so I went looking for a problem to fix it. I came across a trunk lid lift kit from Moss Miata. I've had good experiences with Mos...

    Unpopular tip: Weigh out your body filler, multiply that by anywhere from 0.015(hot) to 0.030(cold), add the result to the first weight, make your filler equal to this new weight by adding the hardener. ... You will get laughed at by pro body work guys... you will also have perfect control over your body filler cure times and workability. Edit: ...Also, use a guide coat and the largest stiffest block you can.

      I’m on my second installation of my Miata’s soft top. This video shows the hardest part of the process, because you want to be very careful about getting the order correct and not damaging the new top. The last steps are essentially the reverse of the first (reinstalling the top and associated trim pieces). Replacing your top isn’t the easiest thing ever, but if you give it time and follow instructions carefully, I’m confident most people can do it in a weekend.

    Thanks for this. I have a 2009 RX-8 (similar transmission and seal) which has been giving me fits leaking around the outer body of the seal. This confirms I should have put RTV on it. I'm also working in-car so my workspace is limited. I went ahead and sprung for the special tool from Mazda for driving it so I get it perfectly square.

  • @blue04mx53

    I just finished installing mine based on your video and the instructions. (And another video.) 2 things. I ended up drilling another hole just half inch further ahead of where they recommended. This way the trunk opens much higher. Yes, I double checked to make sure the strut would not bind first. The other thing I did was to leave one of the torsion bars in place. This helps my trunk lid pop up on its own. I have a spoiler mounted on my trunk lid and without the torsion bar it wouldn't open as nicely. Thank you so much for this video!
