“Decent quality, but difficult to fit as the holes don't line up with the hooks particularly well. I had to make 2-3 extra holes.”

“MX5 parts are great on delivery and this came quickly and straight into my postbox in a jiffy bag so I didn't need to be home - excellent. Unfortunately have to echo what others have said here - holes in completely the wrong place to fit my 1998 Mk2. Had to get the craft knife out to cut some holes, while leaving two corners unattached. The original gaiter in the car also has a glued-in O-ring to keep the top opening tidy, but this lacks that. Again, a small touch which would make all the difference but lacking it makes it seem like a poor replacement. Nice quality leather though. Smells lovely...”

“Excellent service to Spain as ever, This item looks & fits superb & finishes off my Mazzie interior very nicely. I do not know about a 10 minute fit but eventually I managed along with my lady drives lol took a couple of hours along with leather matching hand brake gaitor but well worth my cursing x”

“Reçu en 3 jours sur la Belgique. J'ai profité du changement des joints pour remplacer le soufflet. Attention que tous les trous ne correspondent pas aux emplacements d'origine. Mais facile à placer. Belle finition.”

“Easy to fit, better quality than the original and will get better with time as it settles in rather than just tearing and holing like the original.”

“Looks nice once fitted, but the number of holes to fit it on the inside plastic cover is innacurate!!! (mk1)”

“A completely different shape to the orginal one in my MX-5 MK1.To make this fit at all I had to rip some of the stitching and force it into position over the rectangle plastic frame removed from the car. Then I made new holes in the leather at the position of the tabs on the plastic rectangle frame. These were no where near the holes in the leather that were provided by the manufacturer.Also, the circular metal piece folded and glued into the original gaiter was missing on the new one.I removed the metal piece from the old gaiter and with great difficultly and a considerable amount of time positioned it in the new gaiter, folded the leather into the centre of the metal piece and then sewed the leather together to hold the metal piece securely.I was tempted to return the gaiter to MX5 Parts but couldn't find a more suitable alternative.On the plus side, the leather is nice and appears to be good quality.”
