...is that nasty black goop they use to seal the plastic sheet inside the doors. I HATE that stuff. There has got to be a better way to weather-seal the doors without resorting to the perpetually-gooey stick-to-everything ooze.*





*It wasn't slime, it was ooze.

 

Ah yes, I think that's the worst part, too.

 

I stock up on that stuff....... Put a touch on your socket to hold the bolt in.

 

It's not just in Miatas...

 

...and this entire time I thought it was the lack of access to the starter bolts.

Really though, that goop does suck. It sticks to everything.

 

Well........ That is the idea.....

Old burnt gear lube is the worst though.

 

Back before the doors on my shitbox were gutted I had to deal with that crap. Ruined my favorite sweater =*(

 

That's great. I just re-greased my window rails about 2 weeks ago too. I'd been putting it off for months. Thankfully, I didn't ruin any clothing this time.

 

 

WD-40 is good for taking that **** off. I just pulled the door panel on my Geo Metro and it didn't have black goop. The plastic sheet was glued on (really tough **** to rip off too). I ended up just using a razor blade and cutting the sheet instead of trying to rip it off the door.

 

Wait a second...hold on a minute. I MIGHT have just had a moment of brilliance.

Has ANYONE TRIED THE BLACK GOOP TO PREVENT DP BOLTS FROM BACKING OUT? Anyone?!

OMG, call me a mothereffin' geenyus!

 

I think the worst part of the Miata is the v-band clamps, the o-rings and the hard pipes for the heater core. That **** is by far the worst **** I've dealt with.

 

I don't think it would survive the heat, prove me wrong.

 

Surely I jest.




However, if one of you guyses tries it, and it DOES IN FACT WORK, you heard it hear first!!!!

 

I actually disassembled a door for my NB yesterday and got that **** all over my arms. What a pain in the *** to get off. Also, whoever decided to assemble the internals of the doors should be ******* shot.

 

This!

 

**** that the worst thing to ever deal with on a miata are the power window regulators i went through 3 of em before i got the ************ right 60 bucks apeice ftl.
