Expert Answers about Mazda Miata


  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow 1990 Mazda Miata
  • The first thing you need to flat to your 1990 Mazda Miata is a base plate kit which attaches to the frame of the vehicle and provides a connection for a tow bar to flat tow it. For that you'd need the part # 711-4 which is a confirmed fit. In addition to the base plates, you will also need a compatible tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking to flat tow your vehicle. The most popular compatible tow bar is the Falcon All Terrain, # RM-522. This has non-binding arms which...

  • Can Curt Tow Bar Attach to Base Plate Kit that Fits 2002 Mazda Miata
  • For your Curt Tow Bar part # C19745 you can attach it to Blue Ox base plate kits with the adapter part # BX8833. There isn't a way to attach the Curt tow bar to Roadmaster base plates. If you have a 2002 Mazda Miata like I believe you do you'd want the base plate kit part # BX2514 and you'd be set with the adapter # BX8833.

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2000 Mazda Miata and a Bike Rack
  • The trailer hitch in question that installs at an angle on your 2000 Mazda Miata is # C11755V. It is not meant to install in any other way other than what is stated in the instructions. But there is a hitch with the receiver that is horizontal and it is # C11749. If you want to use the hitch for an accessory such as a bike rack or cargo carrier then you have to make sure the accessory is rated for use with a Class I trailer hitch. Also, with a bike rack, you are limited to 2 bikes maximum...

  • Keeping Bikes on Trunk Mounted Bike Rack from Dinging Mazda Miata
  • The new versions of the Thule Hitch Mounted Bike Racks, like the Thule Passenger 2 # TH910XT, feature cushioned anti-sway cradles that help prevent bike-to-bike and bike-to-vehicle contact, and soft rubber pads to protect your vehicle's paint. You will want to take extra care to keep the contact points of the trunk mounted bike rack and the area on the rear of your vehicle where the rack will make contact clean. This is the best way to reduce any light surface scratches that could appear...

In addition to the base plates, you will also need a compatible tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking to flat tow your vehicle.

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 1999 Mazda Miata
  • For a base plate kit confirmed to fit your 1999 Mazda Miata that has removable arms you would want the XL Roadmaster kit part # 711-4. In addition to the base plates, you will also need a compatible tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking to flat tow your vehicle. The most popular compatible tow bar is the Falcon 2, # RM-520. This tow bar has telescoping arms that will allow for easy connection and will fold up and store on the RV.

  • Base Plates, Tow Bar, Safety Cables, and Wiring to Flat Tow 1991 Mazda Miata MX-5
  • The first item you will need to flat tow your 1991 Mazda Miata are base plates. We carry two different options of base plates for your vehicle. First are the XL Plates, # 711-4. These have removable drawbars held in place with a pin and clip. With the drawbars removed the base plates are virtually invisible. For these, trimming of the spoiler, air damn, grille, or plastic fascia may be required for installation. The other option are Standard Plates, # 711-2. These are fixed brackets and...

  • Troubleshooting Trailer Wiring Install that Shows No Blinkers but Other Circuits are Active
  • If you test the pins of the 4-way right now do they flash with the blinkers? It's bizzare that the higher drawing circuits of stop and running lights would work but the blinkers would not. Typically that's a converter box issue so let me know if those circuits test positive with a tester. If not test the input side of the box too to see if the correct voltage is making it into the box. If not, then the issue is connections.

  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring for a 2001 Mazda Miata
  • Both of the Curt trailer hitches, # C11755V, and # C11749 will fit your 2001 Mazda Miata. I actually recommend # C11755V because it comes with a ball mount and will be more hidden when not in use. For a 1-7/8 inch ball use # 19256 and for a 2 inch ball use # 19258. And for trailer wiring you can use # 119178KIT. Curt trailer hitch # C11028 will not fit a 2001 Miata.

  • Recommended 2-Bike Trunk Mounted Rack for 2003 Mazda Miata with Rear Spoiler
  • If your 2003 Mazda Miata has the rear spoiler, I do recommend going with the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top 2 Bike Carrier # HRF2 to transport your bikes. This particular rack is designed specifically for vehicles like yours that feature a prominent spoiler. The high-rise frame and multiple strap mounting options will prevent damage to the spoiler and your vehicle. The carrier can transport up to 2 bikes at 35 pounds each and has a nice folding design for easy and compact storage. I have...

  • Trunk Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2004 Mazda Miata with Spoiler
  • For your 2004 Mazda Miata that has a spoiler I would recommend the Hollywood Racks Expedition part # HRF6-2 as it is confirmed as a fit for your vehicle and because it was specifically designed to fit over vehicle spoilers without putting any pressure on them so it would be perfect. If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Kuat Bike Frame Adapter Bar # UB01 to provide a horizontal top tube on...

  • The Roadmaster base plate kit that fits your 1993 Mazda Miata is the part # 711-4 that you referenced but then for an adapter to go from it to a Blue Ox Tow Bar you'd need the # RM-032 which you might have based on what you mentioned. You can compare what you have to the product pictures of this part number or you can email me pictures and I'll take a look.

  • Converting Separate Turn Signals and Brake Lights on a Motor Home to Combined to Use a Light Kit
  • I will be happy to help you out. The separate brake light circuit is going to have to be combined with the turn signals in order to use a light kit with a 4-Pole connector. There is a special converter for this, # RM-732. On the input side you will connect the right turn signal wire to the green lead, the left turn signal wire to the yellow lead, and the brake light wire to the red lead. The converter will properly combine the signals and on the output side you will have green for right...

  • Components Needed To Flat-Tow 1993 Mazda Miata Behind Motorhome
  • You sure can flat-tow your 1993 Miata behind your motorhome. Since we only offer Roadmaster base plates for your vehicle you have a couple options. I recommend the Roadmaster XL Base Plate Kit, part # 711-4. If you decide you want to go with the Blue Ox Alpha Tow Bar, part # BX7380, you will need the RoadMaster Base Plate to Blue Ox Tow Bars Adapter, part # RM-033. Then you will need the Roadmaster Tow Bar Quick Disconnect Kit, part # RM-201. If you decide this is too many components...

  • Trunk Mount Bike Rack Recommendations for a 1993 Mazda Miata
  • For the 1993 Mazda Miata there are several trunk mount bike racks that will fit. I have included a link to the options for you. My number 1 pick for a 2-bike rack is the Thule OutWay, # TH45JV. What makes this rack so great is the 2 rubber coated straps instead of the usual 4-6 of other racks that make installation faster and easier than any other bike rack I have used. I own the 3-bike version of this rack and it is by far the best one I have used. If you will be carrying any bikes that...

  • Trunk Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2004 Mazda Miata
  • The Thule Gateway Pro 2 Bike Rack # TH88VR that you referenced has been confirmed to fit your 2004 Mazda Miata and it does not have adjustable height arms. However, that adjustment is so that the arms are level while on the vehicle. Not for varying heights. Hanging style bike racks aren't designed so that the rack attaches to the lower tube of the bicycle so I can't safely recommend you do that. Your best bet would be to use a frame adapter like the part # 64005. You should have enough...

  • Storage Cover for a 36 Foot 1994 Holiday Rambler Imperial
  • The available RV covers will fit your 1994 Holiday Rambler Imperial but they won't be an exact fit. Going with a 37 foot long cover such as # AD39ZR will work, despite being wider, and some of the slack will compensate for the ladder and AC units. With the cover properly secured it will do a good job of protecting the RV.

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow 1991 Mazda Miata
  • In addition to the Tow Ready Tow Bar # 63180 referenced in your question, you will also need a base plate kit, safety cables, a lighting solution, a supplemental braking system, and likely a high-low adapter. I also highly recommend taking a look at the owner's manual for your vehicle to check on any guidelines or restrictions when it comes to towing it with all four wheels on the ground. When using the Tow Ready Tow Bar, you will indeed need a 2 inch hitch ball like # A-90 on your RV...

  • Trunk Mount Bike Rack Recommendations for 1992 Mazda Miata
  • The Thule Passage 2 Bike Model, part # TH910XT would be a fit for your Miata. The rack is definitely a no-frills option, but Thule makes an excellent product and this rack would work great for you. The top of the line option would be the Thule OutWay, part # TH45JV. Rather than the 4-6 difficult to use straps and buckles used by other racks (including the Passage) the Raceway uses only 2 rubber coated straps that allow the rack to be installed or removed in seconds without having to fiddle...

  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring Recommendation for 1995 Mazda Miata
  • The Curt hitch part # C11729 is a confirmed fit for your 1995 Mazda Miata and has a 2k capacity so it would be a great option. For trailer wiring you then would want the part # C59236.
