The absolute worst part of the Miata...
...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..... :bowrofl: 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 shit 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 shit 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 shit is by far the worst shit I've dealt with.

I don't think it would survive the heat, prove me wrong.
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 shit all over my arms. What a pain in the ass to get off. Also, whoever decided to assemble the internals of the doors should be fucking shot.
