Come on man. You know that Mazda bolts are made from a special Adiantium steel that never breaks.

they dont break when they are still in the package at least.. but after you open them the warranty is instantly void and they become tinfoil when exposed to air

The first bolt that holds the convertible top down was $45 with my discount.

Now THATS a ******* rip off, a small *** 10mm bolt.

It has the male part of the Tenax fastner on it so you can snap the boot down. So basically its a $45 canvas snap.
