NOW THIS is how EVERY "how to" video should be made, well done sir thank you for no bs, no filler, just what the title says!

[@rutlegs]

Any time I'm taking on a project on my NC, I stop by this channel first. Too rate stuff!

[@toshibavoodoo]

My new favorite Channel. 2012 GT PRHT we even have the same color! Still going through previos videos.

[@ColoredinLight]

Thanks so much for checking it out! Glad you're enjoying the videos.

[@wxlljk]

Probably the most useful series on youtube

[@ColoredinLight]

Thanks! I'm trying to think of specific things I've seen people ask about the NC. Not including maintenence like brakes or things like that. Glad you like it.

[@i.t.s.t.h.e.c.a.l.z.o.n.e]

Ive watched soooo many of your videos and currently have a 2.5L in my NC as well. Now my gosh darn door handle stopped working so this video is a life saver

[@vlenhoff]

1:22 was a B**** to slide out. You made it look easy. Thanks for the video, subscribed.

[@devilsbox]

Terrific instructional video. Thank you!

[@ColoredinLight]

Glad you find it helpful!

[@mvtwf]

Thank you! This is excellent. Super helpful. God bless!

[@RobWhittlestone]

EXCELLENT GUIDE! Well done! All the best, Rob

[@ColoredinLight]

Thanks rob!

[@fraskers]

Thanks for the info, it was the handle cover I just could not figure out without breaking it , good job.

[@WilliamCadiz]

Thank you! Couldn't find the third screw under the door pull cover

[@TheAaronjwilkinson]

Hi dude. My MX5 (2012 model) has what I think are some annoying interior rattles when driving on roads that aren’t perfectly smooth. They’re plastic sounding noises, rather than mechanical. One is around the passenger door/glove box area, another seems to be around the stereo (but buried deep in the dash) and the last is around the steering wheel. I was wondering if you have any pointers as to where I can start to resolve them?

[@flyingdutchmanwa]

Is it the same procedure if your Miata is another color? ... ;-) Seriously: PRICELESS information. With this I can now replace my side mirror that a stupid bird decided to fly against myself. Probably saves me at least $100 in shop labor!

[@ekw555]

thank you. this was exactly the info I needed.

[@jamiewiddowson9485]

the fitment of your wheels looks really nice, what are the sizes and offsets of the wheel and tyre size please many thanks

[@areasevenpro]

I noticed you have an empty container on the black cover. Is your NC sound system a non-Bose unit?

[@ColoredinLight]

Yeah, no Bose.

[@areasevenpro]

@@ColoredinLight I see. I just changed my head unit to the Pioneer SPH-C10BT and I'm planning to do a full BOSEctomy on my NC1 by the end of the year.

[@ColoredinLight]

I hear a lot of people remove the Bose units, I'm kinda glad I dont have one. Qs long as my radio has bluetooth I'm happy. I cant really hear music over the exhaust and top down anyways

[@Ricoman611]

I was literally looking for this today! Just bought some leather seats w/ door cards to install. Any idea if you can separate the leather trim from the card?

[@ColoredinLight]

Not sure on that one, I would assume yes

[@Bistinglolwut]

hopefully I can adjust my window with this

[@kennethcorrenti6386]

Thanks - looks like I can now add some decent speakers in my doors! I thought they were 6x8's in my 2013 Club

[@Dafunk909]

Good video but i damaged the large door handle with using the screwdriver + towel. I didn't know i had to pry from exactly the center of the handle as there is a notch inside. If you don't you will rip and damage the plastic, which will be visible.

[@ColoredinLight]

Dang that sucks

[@betacenturion237]

Slightly careful with this if you are an Early NC owner. I have an 07 and the door handle screw panel has to be pried off differently. Other then that, awesome video!

[@fatdoggolovespizza]

I'm in the same boat, can't figure out how to pry this thing off. Maybe from the top first? Difficult to do without damaging the panel.

[@qMaurtis]

The only thing I would add is a link to replacement clips, I broke several when I removed mine.

[@steveterry4840]

Easy when you know, thanks!

[@Thiborfirenz]

thank you for this video. very helpfull indeed.

[@eddt6485]

Thank you very much for the information

[@TheTurbineEngineer]

Excellent instructions! Any idea on the weight of the panel?

[@ColoredinLight]

It wasnt very heavy at all, for sure less than 10lbs.

[@TheTurbineEngineer]

@@ColoredinLight It all adds up! I'm trying to get my miata down to 2300 lbs (dry weight without driver) and my hp to 170 so I can compete in TT5 with NASA but it's gonna be a challenge. Hell getting another 20 hp after I've already got a bunch of bolt-ons might be impossible.

[@ColoredinLight]

@@TheTurbineEngineer 2.5 swap!

[@TheTurbineEngineer]

@@ColoredinLight That would definitely get me there! Guess it's time to start saving up lol.

[@paulhughes3961]

What year is your car because mine looks slightly different.

[@magstr717]

Do I need to disconnect the battery first?

[@ColoredinLight]

No

[@Chiimp]

Thanks

[@Flienlow]

are those 6x9 speakers?

[@ColoredinLight]

Not sure, whatever oem is!

[@hillarycliton442]

I have a 2006 Miata and my door panels look significantly different. I’m a little confused if I’m honest.

[@ColoredinLight]

The only significant difference you should see between NC1 and NC2 is the cup holders. Other than that they're not much different.

[@hillarycliton442]

@@ColoredinLight I realized that this morning when I left for work lol. Thank you for the reply.

[@burgholte]

Can you do one on the brakes

[@ColoredinLight]

See my brake video. I linked to one in the desc.

[@burgholte]

Colored in Light thanks

[@breakawaymotorsports]

my 2007 has different door pulls.

[@ColoredinLight]

Yeah NC1 and 2/3 are different designs but generally removed the same.

[@noahkoch9293]

Can you show how to remove the carpet? 😅

[@ecarnomics]

I tried to remove the door handle and now is broken :(

[@schwinnbiking]

now what do i have to do to get rid of that nasty door rattle? :)

[@ColoredinLight]

Poly door bushings
