Where To Store Your Mazda MX5 Hardtop

By Nov 27, 2010

Since 1989 the Mazda MX5 has been on the market, and since then many additions are available for personalizing, or improving the Mazda MX5. One particularly wise option is the detachable MX5 Hardtop, making winterizing easy, as well as taking full advantage of summer weather.

However, storage in the summer can become an issue and may be discouraging without some consideration. Damage is most common when the hardtop is detached. Deciding where to store your MX5 hardtop must be done very carefully, otherwise varied damages may come to the hardtop. A lot needs to be kept in mind, such as keeping it hung in the air to prevent the hardtop from becoming warped and misshapen. Building a stand 1500mm wide is about the right size to support the edges of the hardtop. Several materials can be used, such as lumber or miscellaneous metals if they provide ample support. One other safe storage option is fastening a hook on a the wall in a shed or garage to hang the hardtop on. A loft is another place to consider storing your hardtop.

Even being a rather light hardtop, less than fifty pounds, a Miata hardtop can be a challenge to hang properly. The fixture needs to be functional for extended periods of time, while being secure to prevent dents and scratches. An MX 5 hardtop storage bag works well to save the hardtop from wear and tear damages.

The specially designed storage bag supplies a safety cover for the hardtop, lined with a velvet like product to inhibit scratches and paint chipping. The casing of the bag is made of strong nylon to protect against tears and it has inner padding for additional safety. There are many accessories for the Mazda MX5, but the MX5 hardtop makes the Mazda more versatile, and the storage bag is an essential accessory in keeping your hardtop safe.
