Had the vinyl convertible top replaced. Original Miata top has interior straps that tear the top above the driver and passenger doors over time. New cloth top does not require the straps. |
| 36000 mi | Windshield cracked, I believe due to stress and the cold winter temperatures. Mazda dealership denied the claim, though the car was under bumper to bumper warranty and suggested I contact my insurance company. |
