Problem overview

Some Mazda MX-5 Miata owners report experiencing rear glass slipping issues even after clip replacement. These problems may persist despite proper installation of the replacement clips, indicating that a thorough inspection of the soft top and rear glass for damage or wear is necessary. Some experts suggest that a full replacement of the entire top with a new canvas from reputable manufacturers, such as Robbins, can provide a long-term solution. Additionally, if the issue continues, consulting with professionals who specialize in convertible top repairs may yield valuable insights. Owners might also consider upgrading to newer designs, like the Streamline tops by Robbins, which are engineered to eliminate certain seams and enhance the overall appearance.
