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

4.4 Rating 59 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.

“Excellent product. Easy to fit, but you must prepare the surface before applying the primer. I used tie wraps to hold in place for 24 hours. The result is a good firm bond to the original roll bar. The covers enhance the look of the car no end and are very good value for money.”

“Well made product that fits exactly and enhances the car immeasurably. Just as good as the much pricier Mazda replacement trims.Fitting is straightforward if you carefully follow the instructions provided here by reviewers. I can't understand though why fitting instructions aren't provided with the actual kit. The covers have obviously been designed with great care and attention to detail and the box professionally produced, so printing a set of step by step instructions (like Mazda themselves do for accessories) would be little extra effort and the least customers deserve really.Also can't IL Motorsport be persuaded to offer more satin chrome alternatives to their interior chrome (including this item)?Usual excellent communication and super-fast delivery by MX5 Parts!”

“Prompt delivery as always. The covers are made plastic which is my only gripe. They sit great over the existing bars and and don't stand too proud. As long as time is taken with the preparation of the existing style bar surface then there shouldn't be a problem in the covers staying put. A alcohol swab and liquid glue was supplied with mine and I also increased the temperature of the tape with a hairdryer to ensure good adhesion.”
