I’m a complete tool with a tool - and could follow this. Took me 15 minutes and the window rolled like new. Thanks for the time and effort in putting this together.

[@MiataMan]

Well done 👍
Glad I could help 😊

[@midwesternexplorers8231]

I'll be doing this to both of my windows tomorrow thank you so much for this tutorial.. I'm new to miatas but love fixing my cars and a visual idea of what to do is always helpful.. thanks again!!

[@chryselwood]

Thanks for the video - Solved my problem with my passenger side window :). A suggestion I removed the cable clip from the door frame and got it on the cable at an easier position an slid it back to the proper spot and re-attached it to the door frame.

[@shxkn]

Very glad I found this video. Will be doing this soon to ease my firm window regulators.

[@TomSciortino]

The cable guide falling out of the clip was exactly my problem. didn't even have to take the main panel off, just the top one. your vid was perfect, thanks!

[@danielskrskr]

This was exactly my problem. Thank you so much for this. I greased everything you did while I was in there and it feels brand new

[@MiataMan]

Excellent! Good work 😊 Thanks for the positive feedback 👍

[@spencersheehan3545]

Very thorough how-to, best one I've come across! I'll be doing this job tomorrow thanks for the help.

[@melissaogas9942]

Thanks so much for this video. I am finding that I am doing more and more of the work on my Miata these days as my hubby works longer and longer hours. One thing that is very helpful as I am a novice, would be to always show and tell what tools are called and what they look like. I am just learning tool names. Thanks again. Also, if you have any tips for upkeep and maintenance in dry climates I would appreciate it, as Vegas is a desert.

[@mistergrumpygills]

Well done and very helpful, thank you. The tip about loosening the guide channels and regulator to smooth operation was effective and especially appreciated. More videos please.

[@dk2853]

Thanks for your vids man. A must have for any Miata owner.

[@msacheson]

Thanks for the video, very helpful! Was exactly what I needed, and it was the first thing I have ever fixed on my car. I'm 48 years old, and I'm lazy AF. But Miata is simple.

[@michaelcannella2777]

Just finished my window thanks a lot! Very constructive even for a novice like myself

[@DaveToneMusic]

Thanks so much for your expertise, I think I have all the knowledge I need to attempt the repair I've been putting off for a long time. You're a gentleman for sharing!

[@tia1103]

Thanks man, this helped a lot today. Any recommendations for a clean replacement for the stock speaker cover with those plastic tabs? My tabs have all broken and my speaker / particle board insert is visible. Thanks man!

[@Churros1209]

Thank you sirrrrr!!!!!! Very very helpful!

[@northdakotabeast1547]

Thank you for posting this, it's going to help with my 91'. :D

[@lisariverin8411]

thanks , very easy

[@tedstriker754]

I've got that issue on a '90 NA, drivers side. I may drill some carefully placed holes so that a ty-rap could be looped around that cable where it can't pop out of it's bracket again. Not sure what causes them to pop free of that bracket, but if they did it once, it's probably going to happen again. Unless other means are taken to pin it down.

[@judidecker6268]

My problem is that my 1992 Miata has been sitting for a very long time. The window cranks are very hard to use. I have bad arthritis in my wrists and it is difficult for me to put the window down or crank it back up. What can I do to help with this issue?

[@MiataMan]

Hi Judi, I will make a special video for you on how to easily lubricate the window tracks without taking anything apart.

[@PaulA-pc8wd]

How do you remove the whole headlight structure. From the body? Can you help please?

[@timothystrunk7323]

Turtle wax dash cleaner will take that white stain out of that door. It conditions the fabric

[@ididle0925]

Hi, my Miata 1991 the window bushing roller inside the track has deformed, trying to buy only the roller, very hard to find it in Canada. Do u have any idea? Thank you
