Fitment on a used roof panel varies by vehicle, so a bit of detail goes a long way. Our request form covers what breakers need to know, so every quote you get back is for the correct part:
The MX-5 has run across four well-established generations: NA (1989–1997), NB (1998–2005), NC (2005–2015), and ND (2015–present). Each generation uses a completely different body structure and roof pressing, so a roof panel from one generation will not fit another. Always identify your generation first when sourcing a used roof panel from a breaker.
Both a 2002 and a 2004 MX-5 fall within the NB generation (1998–2005), so they share the same basic platform and body structure. Roof panel fitment within the NB generation is generally consistent, but there were minor pressing or detail changes during the production run that are difficult to verify without checking part numbers. Confirm against your registration with the breaker before purchasing to be sure.
No — a 2012 MX-5 is NC generation (2005–2015) and a 2016 MX-5 is ND generation (2015–present), and these are completely different platforms with different body structures. The roof panel is generation-specific and will not cross that boundary. Source an ND roof panel from a breaker quoting against a 2015-onwards MX-5 registration.
Trim level does not affect roof panel fitment on the MX-5 — the body pressing is the same across Sport, Icon, and other trim variants within the same generation. You may find cosmetic differences such as paint finish or any trim-attached fittings, but the panel itself is interchangeable regardless of trim. Focus on matching the generation and confirm the colour code separately with the breaker if you want a paint-matched panel.
The NC generation ran from 2005 to 2015 and received a notable refresh around 2008–2009, after which there may have been detail changes to body pressings. Fitment across the full NC range is likely consistent at the structural level, but whether the exact pressing is identical before and after the mid-generation update is something you should confirm with the breaker against your specific registration rather than assume.
No — the MX-5 RF (Retractable Fastback), introduced in the ND generation, has a fundamentally different roof structure and body pressing compared with the standard ND roadster. They are distinct body styles and the panels are not interchangeable. Make sure you specify clearly to the breaker whether your car is the standard roadster or the RF when requesting a quote.
