MX5 MIATA DAMP BOOT......EASY FIX

[@cretski67]

Just what I needed to know - the last couple of days rain turned my MX5 boot into a hot/cold tub. Was blaming my wet car cover as it was folded up in there afterwards... but I bet I've got leaky light seals going on too as it was saturated in there - top tips - will buy some new ones - many thanks, Project 380 - much appreciated and best wishes.

well i hope this helps 😊 also check your areal seal

@@Project380 Great - will do, buddy. Good shout. Thank you.

Top tip, a smear of vaseline all over the seal helps to repell water and keep seal like new for years 👍

[@Project380]

ahhhhh thats a good idea, thank you

[@TheKiddOnDrums]

Really?? Vaseline is knows to break down rubber over time

[@philtulk9180]

Vasoline works well in all the electrical plugs and sockets too

I replaced my seals and found out that the left stoplight didn't even have a seal :))) great video, did not get any damping whatsoever since.

[@Project380]

Glad it helped!

[@shirtz69r]

I'm so glad we don't have rust like you guys do here in aus. Also sanding the markings off the front of the lights give them a nice clean look for nothing

[@Project380]

rust country over here 🤣. good tip thank you mate

Top job sir. You know why I'm here. This video gives me hope. Just wish the bloody Irish weather would improve now.

[@Project380]

The weather hasn't improved much here either 😂

[@philjones5728]

Nice simple video. I had some drips on the rear bulk head and thought it might be the gasket/seal for the lights but found it was the weather strip holding in the soft top. Fancy doing a video on how to change the seal on where the top attaches to the car?

[@Project380]

ahh really, yeah i will do this at some point, its on the list of things to do

[@loafdad]

Awesome, I’m going to check my light seals as my NBFL has a bit of damp in the boot. Also my Mes Honda Civic too

[@Project380]

good luck i hope its a simple fix

[@Mr031068]

Perfect I have the same problem with my NA so I have been keeping it under a cover will give it a go 👍

[@Project380]

hopefully this solves your issues 😊

[@boostjunky8171]

Cheers mate, I just found abit of water in my boot. Hopefully it's an easy fix like this 🤞🏻

[@Project380]

i hope it is too, good luck

[@niallmc2583]

Cheers . Noticed some moisture in my boot and couldn't figure it out .

[@Project380]

well i hope this solved it for you 😊

[@nicholasmartin7369]

Does this issue still exist with newer miatas? I have a mk 3 that seems to have the same issue, but u dont want to take it apart if its a different issue

[@Project380]

I think mk3 usually leak round the third brake light

[@albertmichall5732]

Anything to do with the tiller on the right side lol thank you Mate

[@Project380]

tiller?

[@Paintppa1]

no gaskets for nc1.

[@Project380]

How do they seal ???

[@Fomo24777]

Same.principles apply to an mk3.5?

[@Project380]

i dont think so, i think mainly the third brake light is the issue on them

[@ncbrady]

what about mk2 (nb miata), does it suffer the same problem ? i couldn't find gaskets on your site for that model

[@Project380]

ive personally never had a problem in any of my mk2s

[@ncbrady]

@@Project380 but i do have a problem with water leaking into the boot of my MK2 NB1 Miata, do they use the same or different back light gaskets ?

[@Chizzymcgrizzy]

good video!

[@Project380]

Thanks!
