window gaskets
Hi,
the window gaskets on my 95M get pushed up and bunch up at the top by the windows. i thought about gluing in place them but figured that they would end up tearing if I did that, so anyone have a good solution for this problem> tia, peter |

Even better, roll it up with the door open. -- Lanny Chambers St. Louis, MO '94C |

sounds like something is out of alignment.
the three rubber window gaskets that are attached to the top can be easily removed from their stainless steel track and the tracks can be repositioned. Only the front rubber piece is held in with a screw and an alignment pin, the other just pop out of their tracks. the tracks have a few screws in them that can be loosened to correct the alignment. Look for instruction on replacing the top (in the miata.net garage section or just in goggle) and you will find tips on how to remove the rubber.

In any case, the enthusiast manual has a description. You may also want to look at the miata.net garage sections on slow power windows. Leon -- Leon Bess Bozo .) |
