The style bar is beatiful to see but very difficult to mount!!!The instructions are poor in quality and very confused!!!Now right away the problems that I've met during the mounting: - only 2 retaining straps instead 3 and one of these is broken (the trasparent band...). I think this type of material is delicate for the usage all the seasons and all the year...perhaps it was better a different type of material...trasparent band of rubber?? - the fitting instructions are not clear...I've seen other customers reported this... - the rubber spacers have a cut not regular...: they are cutted inclinated! further they show a little step opposite the groove...which side of spacers must be mounted toward the front of the car? that with the step? - the style bar seems ok but the metallic spacers seem poor in quality... - the wind blocker glass has not cutted correctly...it doesn't follow the shape of style bar so you must keep it lightly rear the underside of glass..Fortunately the final visual effect compensates the efforts!P.S.: mx5parts.co.uk has sent the remaining 2 retaining straps (broken and missing) in a few days...good support service!

Bought this product some time ago. delivered with usual excellent service. Did not fit it because I was getting a new roof fitted on a mk1 and was trying to find a mk2 frame for a better end result.Hood on now and fitted bar last week end. No real problems fitting as other reviews state, although needed lots of washers to pack out side fittings as they were at least 20mm each side away from the sides.Looks great on car but my problems is it does not allow my seat to recline fully as advertised, the headrest jams in the hoops.The main reason I bought this was for full seat back position as I am quite tall so this is a disapointment.

Ordered Sunday evening, arrived 10 days later - brilliant when you consider I live in Rangiora New Zealand! Excellent service, fist rate bar, and a perspex wind-blocker thrown in. Only criticism was the fitting instructions - best to bin them and use common sense. Really superb value, and boy does it look the part.

Purchased on special offer a few weeks ago but only just got around to fitting.Read the instructions thoroughly and could not make "head nor tail" of how it should be fitted!Threw the instructions away and looked at what I had before me and it didn't take a rocket scientist to work out how it fits, mind you for those who are not diy minded there should be much easier instructions so please take note MX5 parts.Forty minutes or so to fit and it really changes the look of the rear end of the car.Good product and usual quick delivery, thank-you.

Ordered this as a treat, usual excellent service from mx5 parts. After reading some of the reviews I was a bit worried about fitting it, but once I had found my tools etc (I hate sheds, they hide the things you really need!) I had it fitted in about 30 minutes.As mentioned somewhere else you just need to be careful when you refit the bolts, as it can be a bit fiddly.Makes the car look heaps better ;)All in all a great buy for the price.

Great service for an ex-pat living in Austria,delivery was fast and secure and cheaper by miles,compared to a well known German firm who actually make the thing!!!Dead easy to install and looks great,not too chunky or flimsy looking,just right-better than the T.T. bars-matter of opinion I guess-the photos really don't do the bar justice.Quick word of advice-remove the seat belt pillar caps carefully or you'll break the little clips that hold them in place!!!Better go and order some new seat belt pillar caps now!!!!!
