My poor car deals with this for around 6 months of the year! Generally I avoid the hard top since I live on my own and it's not really possible to get off by myself. This then means rubbish trips with no roof down motoring. No real problems with leaks. The main thing in winter would be to make sure there's not a lot of snow with water on it because of the weight. I don't use a cover either due to it trapping dirt and scratching the paint.

Hardy Devils these MX5s, aren't they? With all their faults, I still love them!!!! I bet your car still starts FIRST time even under all that snow.

It's not starting at all actually... but that's because the alternator belt needs changed so the battery is dead, wink Just waiting on the part and then it'll be back on the road as the daily.

Northern Norway. I'd guess it's one of the most northern MX-5s in the world. Was cleaned yesterday, and covered in that much snow again today, biggrin Looks good for skiing tonight, smile
