Description
A cabin air filter is a little silly for a convertible, right? No argument - when the top is down. When the top is up, you want to breathe the cleanest air possible. Here's how you do that. Straight out of Japan, this filter has two pieces - a mesh cover for the intake in the cowl to keep the big stuff out, and a filter specifically designed for fine particulate matter (PM 2.5). The main filter is electrostatically charged so it attracts fine dust and pollen, and it's also made out of an antibacterial material, so it will resist developing an unpleasant odor.
But the ND doesn't have a cabin air filter! Is this Band-Aided into place somehow? Nope. There's a pocket that sure looks like it's designed specifically for a filter (see pictures), but it's hidden behind the dash. The installation is a bit more involved than most, but it's not terrible - check out the video below to see what's involved.
Please note that the max airflow will likely drop a tick, but not by much - unless you frequently use the highest fan speed, you probably won't notice.
Both the filter and the screen that are included in this kit are both considered maintenance items. They typically need to be replaced once a year, although a noticeable decrease in air flow or new smells are both indications that it needs to be replaced.
While we haven't tried it ourselves, a customer has verified fitment with the Fiat 124, which does make sense.

Annoyingly long install process, but worth it. The lack of filter allowed a bunch of dirt into my AC system, which turned back into mud when combined with the AC condensation draining out. Eventually clogged the drain and led to a leak under my passenger side carpet
....Consider making the screen available separately. I don't want to restrict air flow buy using the filter. Screening off the garbage at the firewall is awesome!
Both filters fit perfectly in the 124 spider. The factory cabin filter was completely blocked with leaves and twigs, so these should keep the outside on the outside. Very happy with how quick it shipped too!
I can see why Mazda left it out, it is a convertible after all. I like it filtering out the pollen and other stuff when the top is up. The install is not bad, but compared to other cars, it is more involved to get to the cabin air filter.
I bought it for my 2017 124 spider abarth since it shares many mazda parts and features. Fit perfectly with ease and the directions where easy to follow / accurate.
