Ha! Glad you asked.

There are two drain holes on either side of the convertible top when lowered. They are several inches from the elbow joint on which the top pivots. Leaves and dirt tend to build up and clog the drain holes. Use a slim pipe brush with an attached non metallic stick of somesort. I used a plastic gun barrel brush with a straight piece of hanger with electric tape wrapped around it but must be of plastic bristles in order to avoid scratching the protective coating in the drain tube which can cause corrosion. Once you find them and clean them out you should raise the top close the windows and hose down the roof . You should see water draining on both sides of the car right in front of the rear tires. Not doing so will accumulate water inside your miata and you will actually here it sloshing back and forth when driving. Worst part is that it can corrode the outer layer of your cars CPU and give you serious problems.

The convertible top will last forever if treated properly with each wash. Ask me how.

Where is the water pump located on a Mazda mx5?

You say MX5, not Miata, so do you really mean 2006 or newer MX5? If you really mean 1990-2005 Miata then the water pump is behind the timing belt cover. It is not driven by the t-belt, but the t-belt must be removed to change the pump.


Where is the Water sensors located on the 1990 Mazda miata?

At the rear of the engine, directly in the center, just above the transmission. If you look to the right of your firewall, you can find it by tracing the left heater hose down to the back of the engine. This answer is applicable for 1990-2005 Mazda Miatas.


What is the life span of a Mazda Miata?

The life span of any car depends on how well it is maintained and cared for. I have a '94 Mazda Miata that has nearly 200,000 miles on it and have yet to have a major problem with it. Naturally, I have had to change the water pump, spark plugs and a sensor or two, but that is just normal wear and tear. I've read articles of some Miatas going to 400,000 plus miles. So take care of it, and you should get many, many years out of it.


How do you get water out of frame in a Mazda Miata?

There are drain holes in the rocker ( I think that is what they are called ) panel beneath the door. Two on each side....these get clogged with debris (like leaves and dirt ) and normally water would just drain away. To fix this you just need to unclog the holes and the water will gush out. I used a cheap pumpkin cutter but anything would work to open this hole up. I used to get wet floors in the car and could hear the water sloshing around. Hope that this helps Mark
