MX5 Miata Top Drain Cleaning | Stop Wet Interiors and Prevent Rust!
Today I show you how to clean your Mazda MX-5 Miata's top and sill drains. These drains often clog up and prevent water from properly draining, leading to a wet interior, water in your floors and other problems. Clogged roof drains may make you think you have a leaky top, but it is often the drains themselves. This video shows you how to locate and clear them, as well as test the drains to ensure they're properly flowing water. No special tools needed to clear your Miata drains!

I use a trombone (yes, the musical instrument) cleaner to clean my drains. It’s very effective, and under ten bucks.
So awesome, never knew there was a propper way to clean down there. Also make sure to clean out your front fenders for leaves and dirt too. It only takes about 30 minutes total, and on both of my miatas, it looked like they had never been cleaned out in all 30 years!
Yeah, too bad this video didn't exist 2009 when my passenger seat in the NB was basically swimming. Got rid of the car and bought a bigger normal car. Now 2023, I am looking forward to pick up my RF next Thursday... Already know about the drains and how to clean them. Cheers
Grow it into a viper! Love it, lol.
Wish the video explained doing the work with the top in place. :-P That is how most cars are.
What I Like to use to keep the rain rail drains clear and flowing is a special brush. Search for a trombone brush. Yes, the musical instrument. It's about 4 feet long with little brushes at both ends. Trombonists use it to clear out spit inside their brass trombones. Less than $10.
Quick and to the point, but essential. Nice!
Never saw a mx5 roof im that bad condition...
Haha I’ve owned my miata for a while and did a good clean when I got it, watched this video and behind the seat belt towers I found a moldy juice bottle and a bunch ball
jesus....thank god i live in california and my miata is from another state so it only has one cat......or get a hardtop because the way the hardtop is shaped, the rain flows past the rain rails is just goes onto the quarter panels
WOW THANKS FROM THE UK ; I have a 19 94 EUNOS that's an MX5 made for the Jap . market and imported into the UK in 2001 great car
Brilliant had a sloshing sound that seemed to be coming from the sills. Viewed this video and hey presto found the blocked up dra
Thank you,Sir🇨🇦
I did this..thank God there was no issue.
Dude thank you!
Good vid i didnt know they had drain holes lol
Great. I forgot to do that during my summer detailed cleaning on my car 😭
Mine is heavyly rusted there... Is there major problem on chassis or could it possibly get fixed(and worth a fix)?
Is the same for rf?
I have a chunk of something stuck in there so I can’t jam an instrument brush or metal wire down the rails
