2016 MX-5 CONVERTIBLE TOP CONTACTS REAR OF DRIVER’S HEADREST WHEN LOWERING

On brand new MX-5’s, the convertible top may contact the rear of the seat back bar garnish if the top is not lowered correctly.

 

Once the top is lowered / raised many times and the top fabric loosens up, this issue will go away.
