Seat Back Bar Covers Chromed MX5 Mk3/3.5/3.75 Reviews

Read MX5parts Reviews

High polished chrome covers for the style bars on the Mk3, 3.5 & 3.75. Supplied as a pair, these are a perfect fit and are very easy to install.Fits all convertible and retractable hardtop Mk3, 3.5 & 3.75 models, 2005>2015Fitting Tip: As the product name implies, these are covers. They are not replacement trims. We have designed them this way because the Mazda supplied replacement trims really are hard work to fit. They are a very tight fit over the top of your existing trims. As with anything self adhesive, preparation is very important. You must make sure that the surface of the original covers is completely free from silicone trim cleaner or any form of polish. Use surgical spirit or the like to clean the area first. Then make sure that both the new cover and the original are both at a temperature of at least 20 degrees C, the warmer the better as heat activates the adhesive. The 3Ms tape supplied is designed for this exact job, and if applied correctly is almost impossible to remove! A further fitting tip is that once the covers are applied to car, cable tie them around the hoops in two or three places and leave overnight. This will give the adhesive time to cure properly.

Purchased these the same time as the rear light chrome surrounds (see my review).It's essential to make sure the temperature is right, I had the sun shining directly on the rear of the car. I used alcohol to thoroughly clean the surfaces, clean at least 3 times to make sure all traces of any silicon, etc are removed and just apply, it's that easy. The finished result is superb and with the rear light chrome surround and number plate surround the rear end is totally transformed

Just fitted these today. Cleaned backs with surgical spirit and set roof at half closed to gain access. Very good tight fit and secured with plastic ties. They look fantastic and really improve the look of my 2013 1.8SE hardtop. Highly recommended.

Service excellent, arrived next morning!!!Fitting easy if everything is warmed first. Needs a firm push to position them over the existing OEM fitting at which point the 3M starts to stick if its really warm. Suggest trying positioning them before removing backing tape to get the feel of the pressure required. Makes life easier if the RC roof is mid-position.....only thought about this half way through....Being really warm they stuck instantly, no need for cable ties. They look great! Mazda should fit them from new.

Look great with the roof down I bought mine when I saw another car driving past with these fitted. They made it look so eye catching I knew id have to get some! No problem with the quality, easy to fit but took a few weeks to come due to a lack of stock probably because the item is so popular

Just fitted these and they look great. A failrly cheap but very effective mod. Had some isopropyl alcohol laying around which was lucky because you dont get anything else in the box. Spend a couple of minutes cleaning each roll hoop and you should be ok. I took the car on a 20 mile drive in the countryside and it doesn't look like they have shifted

Just fitted a set of these, cleaned the plastic with isopropyl alcohol then stuck them on. Fit is very good indeed, you'd never know they were just a stick on cover. Back of the car looks great, even with the hard top up. I've just ordered a chrome filler cap lid to match :)
