  5. Sitting in a seat, grasp the convertible top's handles, and press the convertible top against the windshield.

    Make sure the striker engages with the anchor, move the top latch slowly, and then push the top latch upward until a latch sound is heard.

     

 

  • Driving with the convertible top not fully locked could damage the convertible top.

    If the red indicator is visible on the lock release button, the convertible top is not locked. After locking the convertible top, verify that the red indicator is not visible.

     

  • Do not spray water directly near the seam of the window and convertible top when flushing away dirt on the soft top with water. Otherwise, water may enter the vehicle.

  • The convertible top may be constricted if it is left retracted for a long period. Therefore, if the top has become constricted, it may be difficult to hook the top latch striker to the anchor.

  • Make sure the convertible top is securely locked by pushing up on it. If it still sounds loose (rattles) after being locked by the top latch, have it inspected at an Authorized Mazda Dealer.
