Thx for the tips on this. Love your spec and wheels....gorgeous! Love the red top (almost went bkack/cherry but bought ND2 Club instead).

Love that color combo!

Underrated and important

I agree, this is the best way to make sure it doesnt start having an issue!

Thank you! Had no clue that was even there .

Also drains across to just under the seatbelt ratchet. There is a hole that runs down that you may also have to clean out.

Yes, cleaning this tube is also needed

Ours has a pushpin over the hole which is really awkward to get at, even eith the seat belt roller pulled out fully... is there an easy way to remove the pushpin without it disappearing?

@@offal12 I have the same issue, did you figure it out?

Brilliant clear video, thanks 🙂

thx man. will try it asap.

Very helpful. Thank you.

Not a userfriendly way compared to the NC (no parts removal required), but thanks for this tutorial! I drive a 2018 2.0 Sport Recaro and very happy with it.

So easy you can check it every oil change.

What suspension setup do you have? It looks pretty low.

I got the same but black paint

Thank you for the video! How many washes would you say before looking into this filter/trap? I had a few rainfalls and i washed my car a few times since I purchased last year. Or my question is, should I empty it as often as I wash my car?

Wouldnt hurt to check every year.

Why not just leave all the parts off and vacuum it out every fall?

Question: The rubber piece that catches the gunk, can you order a replacement from the Mazda dealership when needed?

Did you find the answer? Sorry been a while since i looked at this video

May I ask the information of your wheel? It’s beautiful!

Great explanation sir but what about that little foam filter element? Should it be replaced or does just clean up too?

Yeah, I had the same question. What's the point of the foam if there's a basket above?

There are "insect remover" sponges with a similar structure & pore size ... should not be a problem to quickly make a set of new ones.

If this gets clogged, might it cause the floor pan to flood? That happened to my son’s Miata, after a torrential rain.

It can back up and cause water to sneak in for sure. I see it happen with all gen Miata’s after time. The best thing you can do is to clean the drains then run a hose over the roof and check to see if there are other leaks. We have them come in from time to time and thats how we start the diagnosis.

How long does it usually take for the drains to be clogged?

Honestly depends on where you park, i unfortunately had to be near a tree which after a year had quite a bit of debris

Yes, the RF has drains at the rear windows that feed to drains inside the car like the soft-top

How often do I do this

@Reclusive_x

It wouldn’t hurt to check every year depending on where you park your car. If in a garage I wouldnt stress about it for quite some time unless you see signs of the water not draining where the top meets the door.

Mazda should have made this more accessible without removing any trim pieces.
