Vehicles with hard to operate window regulators may have twisted glass guides. The glass guide may have been twisted during assembly which causes the window to bind during operation. To prevent this condition, a spacer has been placed in the door body which prevents the glass guide from twisting. NOTE : Replacing the window regulator will not correct this problem.
REPAIR PROCEDURE 1. Remove the door trim and loosen the upper and lower glass guide installation
nuts.

Mazda MX-5 Miata Mazdaspeed The biggest change for the Miata since its 1989 inception came in mid-2004 with the introduction of the 178-hp,
turbocharged Mazdaspeed MX-5. Speed now joins lively handling as part of the Miata’s timeless appeal. The 1.8-liter four- cylinder engine makes peak horsepower at 6000 rpm, and 166 lb-ft of torque at 4500 rpm. That’s 25 percent more horsepower and 33 percent more torque than the naturally aspirated Miata, which remains unchanged for 2005. A five- speed manual transmission is standard on base and LS Miatas, with an automatic available on both. The LS also offers a six-speed manual, but the five-speed performs well enough that you may want to save the cash. As always, the interior is snug, and luggage space limited. The MX-5 gets a full redesign for 2006, but we expect it to remain the midlife-crisis
sports car of choice for the value-conscious driver
