Mazda MX-5 Miata passenger window stuck down one inch, causing issues during rain on Mazda MX-5 Miata

Some Mazda MX-5 Miata owners report experiencing issues with the passenger window being stuck down, particularly in rainy weather, which can lead to discomfort and potential water damage inside the vehicle. This problem may stem from the door stop getting caught on a loose cable, a relatively easy fix. However, if the window is completely immobile, it could indicate a more serious issue where the cable winder drum has damaged a cable, necessitating dismantling to free the window and replacing the drum and cables. Additionally, improper window seals and latches can contribute to leaks during rain. Electrical system failures, such as a blown fuse, faulty relay, broken window motor, or window regulator issues, are also common culprits for window malfunction. Prompt attention to these concerns is recommended to prevent further inconvenience and damage.
