'99 headlight assembly removal
Where are the attachment points for '99 Miata headlight assemblies? I see
two bolts on top, but there is at least one I can't see that's holding it
in.

Radio-CD Player Stopped Working
It was the after-market alarm system....a short drained the battery.
Boosting the car caused the alarm to sound, and the key fob switch could not

Removing Wax from Pock-Marked Hood
My beloved '99 has a seriously pock-marked hood and front fenders.

Shrieking Noise
It was the alternator itself. Gave way in a rainstorm, of course, couldn't

Shrieking Noise

Soft top cleaning

Under-engine tray
Anyone ever replace the under-engine tray? The one in my '99 MX-5 got
ripped and I just received a new one from Moss. I'm wondering if there's
anything I should watch out for when installing it.
