This is caused by: CASE A: The J-hook binding holding the inner cloth coming loose because the convertible top is opened/closed a lot or from high ambient temperatures. CASE B: After the previous improvement carried out at the supplier since January 19, 2016, some J-hooks have still been found coming loose to bind and hold the inner cloth during the assembly process. To correct the problem: CASE A: Two top-protector clips have been additionally installed to both side edges of the J-hook to prevent the J-hook from loosening and separating. CASE B: An improved inspection process has been started at the supplier to check the appearance of the inner cloth after installation of the clip.","document":{"url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2024/MC-11003223-0001.pdf","alternate_url":"https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2024/MC-11003223-9999.pdf","confirmed":false},"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/bulletins/11003223","components":[{"id":"structure-body","name":"Body and frame","parent":null},{"id":"visibility","name":"Glass, wipers and mirrors","parent":null},{"id":"wiper","name":"Wipers and washers","parent":"visibility"}],"codes":[],"topics":[],"vehicles":[{"make":"MAZDA","model":"MX-5","year_from":2016,"year_to":2018,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2016_mazda_mx-5","2017_mazda_mx-5","2018_mazda_mx-5"]},{"make":"MAZDA","model":"MX-5","year_from":2020,"year_to":2024,"match":"exact","vehicle_ids":["2020_mazda_mx-5","2021_mazda_mx-5","2022_mazda_mx-5","2023_mazda_mx-5","2024_mazda_mx-5"]}],"as_of":"2026-10-19","note":"A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it.
