The fuel tank is right underneath where the glass for your soft top sits when down. However, on the sides of the fuel tank, there are two large tunnels that go back directly to the trunk.

Water typically gets into the cabin and rolls to the trunk via these tunnels.

There are typically 3 leaking points in the Miata:

  1. A general tear in the soft top.
  2. Clogged rain rails - water running off the top is channelled inside the car (by design) to an area just behind the door. The water is channeled to a small drainage hole just a little larger than the size of a pencil. It is located behind the seat belt tower, but before the hinges on the soft top. Because it is so small, it can very often get clogged, allowing the water to overflow into the cabin.
  3. Since water is channeled towards the door, a rain railmust collect any rain and channel it to the door. The rain rail is plastic and can become brittle and crack over time. It is underneath the rear of the soft top and behind the rear carpet on the parcel shelf.
