It's that screw again! This time it seems to have been caught early before the car filled with water.

That screw over the scuttle is the main leak on this Mazda, which is no surprised as it is seems to be a problem on every MX5 we see.

However, as with all convertible cars of a certain age, it's worth checking the drainage system and the condition of the rubbers for the convertible roof. As is the case here, there are a few issues but nothing major and the issue can be fixed by giving it all a good clean, reviving the rubbers so they are nice and plump, and re-attaching that pipe.

We have been repairing leaks and drying cars for over 30 years

There are no surprises here, the door membranes are leaking. On a few cars the inner door membranes are moulded plastic panels, but on the vast majority of cars they are just a sheet of clear plastic held in place with a bead of heavy-duty sealant.
