Review on ๐ŸŒฌ๏ธ Enhance Cabin Air Quality with FRAM Fresh Breeze Cabin Air Filter for Mazda Vehicles by Tarrance Man

Revainrating 5 out of 5

2007 Mazda 3 Parts Hatch

This is exactly what you need for a Mazda 3 or 5 04-09 along with a Phillips head screwdriver (or preferably a small drill) and a 12mm DEEP ratchet. (The screws you need to use it on are inexplicably very long, a regular 12mm head won't fit. You'll probably need an extension too, the screw is probably tight and it takes a bit of effort to move it once pull it off, it's easier to unscrew it completely with your fingers). There are various videos on YouTube, but another indicator is that it's much easier to just pull out the glove box. It's two screws and the job is much easier. In my case, as soon as I opened it up, it was pretty clear that the filters were never changed, probably due to the painful saying. You'll want to sweep out any remaining leaves/seeds/bugs, but it's actually very easy to change the filters once you have access to them. Then you have to roll everything up and forget about it for a couple of years, after which I'll probably just pay the nearest Mazda dealership for it. There is a special place in hell for the Mazda engineer who designed the cabin air filter placement on the 04-09 Mazda 3.
