How do you change out a window motor for a 1992 Mercedes Benz e190 2.6?
Start by removing the silver brace on the lock side held by 2 screws. Next you have to unscrew the window latch on top. there is another screw underneath that is sometimes concealed as a manufacturers warranty type deal. Its important to note that the entire door is held together by small white clips and they can easiily be poped off ans lost, my suggestion is when it comes time to take it off have do it in a place where you can see everything that falls off incidentally. Unless you want to crack your wood pannel be carefull with it. If you pull up the metal handle and use a flathead you will revail a screw behind a thin peice of plastic. Unscrew that and get ready to remove the arm rest. There are three screws holding the arm rest one big on e located behind the thin plastic one that you'll need a pretty long Philips for and a third that will be obvious when the others are removed. You will have to tug on the panel. If the wodgran is glued on tight for watever reason try to work around that.
After the pannel is off then there are three screws holding the motor on. I wasted an entire day removing the whole brace and ended up putting the whole thing back together but if you get a socket wrench and feel for these three screws you will save yourself a lot of heart ache. One more tip is make sure you don't knock out the lights from the door panel you could put the whole door back together only to discover there is a wire in there that could mess you quite bad. Test the motor by pluging the two wires in and starting up the car and pressing the window from the center control unit in order not to waste time on a busted replacement getting the panel off is the trickiest part so don't do it twice if you don't have to. You may have to use a crowbar or something to get the pressure off the motors gears though. And finally don't let the glass sip down on your fingers. But I have found it is easier to work on this while it is up FYI. Good Luck!!!

Why would a 1991 Mazda miata emergency break quit working?
Rear calipers may need adjustment (they adjust differently than most cars with a rear disc parking brake) or replacement. Take it to a Miata specialist. And it's "brake" not "break".
But really, if it doesnt work at all and it were your calipers, they would be screwed, otherwise it probably needs adjusted with theres an adjustment screw on the inner side of the parking brake lever.

Why do I get gas fumes smell in trunk and drivers compartment of my 91 Mazda Miata?
What you are smelling are the hyrdocarbons, which are the more damaging portions of gasoline to the environment. It may be a leak in the evaporative system, but being that you smell in in the rear of the car, it's probably the Charcoal Evap Cannister, or the hose leading to it.
The cannister is responsible for filtering out hydrocarbons from evaporating gas before it hits the air. If it's dead or not working this would be the fumes you'd smell. The cannister about the size of a golf ball and is typically hanging at the top of the rear passenger fender well.

remove the licence plate, open the tailgate, remove the cover on the pulldown strap, remove the 10mm bolt that secures the strap, remove the panel by prying one of the lower corners and then pulling the panel to release the plastic fasteners. push the panel up toward the top to release the panel from the gate. there is a black panel with about 10 10mm screws in it, remove them all then pull the panel away from the gate. let it hang on the wires attached to it, theyll be fine. inside youll find some studs protruding through, opposite where the panel is. remove the nuts on these also the nuts securing the tailgate lock cylinder, the wire connector on the cylinder, and the wire connector for the lic. plate lights. then (carefully!) take long needle nose pliers and release the plastic clips that hold the panel in place. there are like 6, they are hard as hell to get to and release for a first timer and if you break too many, you have to buy a panel to replace it!
