Also drains across to just under the seatbelt ratchet. There is a hole that runs down that you may also have to clean out.

Yes, cleaning this tube is also needed

Ours has a pushpin over the hole which is really awkward to get at, even eith the seat belt roller pulled out fully... is there an easy way to remove the pushpin without it disappearing?

Thank you for the video! How many washes would you say before looking into this filter/trap? I had a few rainfalls and i washed my car a few times since I purchased last year. Or my question is, should I empty it as often as I wash my car?

Wouldnt hurt to check every year.

Great explanation sir but what about that little foam filter element? Should it be replaced or does just clean up too?
@piersgooderham86743 жыл бұрын
Yeah, I had the same question. What's the point of the foam if there's a basket above?

If this gets clogged, might it cause the floor pan to flood? That happened to my son’s Miata, after a torrential rain.
@Reclusive_x6 ай бұрын
It can back up and cause water to sneak in for sure. I see it happen with all gen Miata’s after time. The best thing you can do is to clean the drains then run a hose over the roof and check to see if there are other leaks. We have them come in from time to time and thats how we start the diagnosis.

does this also apply to the RF?

Yes, the RF has drains at the rear windows that feed to drains inside the car like the soft-top

It wouldn’t hurt to check every year depending on where you park your car. If in a garage I wouldnt stress about it for quite some time unless you see signs of the water not draining where the top meets the door.
