It'll also show you how to fix and repair rocker and fender rust in this area, and how to prevent it in the future. This video is for both the NA and NB Miata, as both commonly rust out here.

    if u dont feel like removing everything just open your door and you can see inside the fender if you flash a light inside. If you see trash in there spray it out with water from there or from behind the wheel.

    That’s a good point, you certainly can do that but then you have less of a gauge of how much rust is built up, and also anything pinched between the fender and rocker won’t be easily removed. That’s a good quick way to do it though!

    One of the first things I did for my Mx5 NB2 was the Paco fender braces. Which lead me into cleaning out the fender debris. Glad I tackled it early. And now I just undo the bottom two 10mm bolts and use compressed air to just keep clear. I always spray oil and bollistol in there as well.

    Thank you, Just bought my first Miata and didn't realize the rust happened from the inside out. I washed the car last night and wondered where all those leaves were going. The kick panel on both front fenders and the rocker panels are rusted through and the metal is hanging off like a clam shell. Going to Auto Zone to get fiberglass

    Alexxxmonmon Definetly too much. Try to talk it down and check ALL RUST PRONE AREAS. Take a good look under the car and the sills. Look for any rust inside the trunk and the rear arches. Also the second gear on these transmissions tends to be notchy but it should be smoother after the transmission has warmed up.

    I actually ended up leaving the broken part of the bolt in since it broke off flush and there were others to hold the fender in place. You could drill it out and tap it a size larger, and they do make extraction tools to help remove them. Best of luck!

    The best way is to use a strong paint / rust preventative! Lots of people us POR 15 rust preventative and I've heard good things but haven't tried it myself. It's also a good idea to was your drains with water once in a while and pull the bottom of the fender once in a while to really clear it out, but with a proper coating that would become unnecessary. Good luck!

    i do support what you do man but you are not going to save it like that you just slow it down thats all :/ in order to prevent rust you must truly grind it down to the bare metal then spray primer then paint then something more buff to protect the paint itself because what makes these cars rust is just crappy paint paint will protect the metal not some coating it does not have anything to stick on so it will just degrade anyway but idk i hope it does work for ya I live in a climate where there is snow and road salt and what you did will pretty much do nothing here ;D
