Great video with one exception. You need to warn people to get a skinny guy to do this. I'm just a little too big. I had to feel around as there is no room for my head and arm both. Otherwise perfect. Short and to the point and still showed everything. Thank you
I agree Mazdas engineers need to do a better job.

Thanks! I can't imagine getting this done without this video! I disconnected the electric cables first. What a pain!
You're welcome!
HEY that’s probably why my power ports don’t work!!!!
Here’s to hoping that’s the fix. (Guess not, that’s just AC related)
Wow!
/s Can’t wait to do this /s
Great video, short and to the point.
Good grief all that for cabin filters! Thanks for detailed instructions though. Great service.
Thank you for watching!
Good grief! I love the old expressions.
We're glad our video could help!
Thank you for posting - very detailed and informative.
You're welcome!
I went nuts trying to find where the filters are. Most cars have them behind the glove box. I couldn't even find the instructions in the Manuel. Thanks for posting this
Thank you for watching!
Why would anyone dislike this video? It's great. I would never have figured out where Mazda had secreted the bloody filters withought help like this. I do appreciate the deep space behind the tiny glove box, it's very useul so I guess Mazda can be forgiven... to a deree. Thanks for this video. :)
You're welcome!
I'm guessing the "dislikes" are because of the terrible design by Mazda. Skinned knuckles, 45 minutes, and lots of sweat for me to do it using this video, and it would have been impossible without the video!
Just did it myself in 20 minutes, next time it would be easier. Thanks, excellent video!
You're welcome!
Now I know why I couldn't find the cabin filter. Thanks for this video.
You're welcome!
@Zoracle We're glad you were able to save some cash! We still don't understand why they made it this difficult on the 5 and 3 when the 6 is so easy to change!
Thanks for this video. While I love my Mazdas, this is a pretty poor design.
You're welcome!
thanks guys! Just saved me some money. But yeah I think mazda really wanted you to take these in. Ever tried to change the battery on one? It's also an ordeal.

@halocore Yeah, the 5 doesn't have much space to work in - I can only imagine how small the space is in the 3. We've been looking for a 3 to get a video of but we haven't had any luck yet. If you do end up changing the filter, let us know what was different!
Nice video. I think I will 'Lose' the filter altogether.It seems like it will just impede airflow from the outside.One thing is for sure, old car's had WAY MORE air flow threw the vent's from outside.

Pretty sure that engineer was pissed at Mazda for some reason for designing this painful crap hole
Thanks for the video. Appreciated
You're welcome!
Thank you so much! It is almost impossible to replace filter at this end of corner. Mazda made my neck tilted wile replacing the filter. Very bad structure to replace filter.
You are welcome!
My Honda Element cabin filters take about five minutes to change, this looks like a chore. My daughter in Orlando has a black, black interior Mazda 5 . The A/C is pathetic. I hope this helps, I got a feeling it has the original filter in it. It looks like a tough job for a big guy.
You should replace your cabin air filter once a year or every 15,000 miles. A dirty cabin air filter filter could be filled with debris like leaves, pollen, and dust. If you live in an area with a lot of smog or around a lot of trees you might want to consider replacing it more often because you'll have more debris that may clog up the filter. Stale odors can also be caused by a dirty cabin air filters.
Made it seem easier than it was. Had to lay on my back across the footwell to see that last screw. I'm 6'2" and 194 lbs., so didn't have a extra bit of shoulder room. With all the maneuvering, it took me over half an hour.
Thank you for informing us.
Same.
Great video. This and my M12 1/4" ratchet made it a piece of cake.
Thank you for watching!
Thanks a lot for this tutorial. :) Helps a lot.
Thank you for watching!

Thank you for watching!

Fantastic! So glad it helped.

Excellent video, thank you for sharing, I'm changing it next weekend. It looks
kind of difficult... I had Seat Cordoba 2007 and changing the cabin filter was taking 10 min at most, no screws, no wires... Thanks again
Thank you for watching!
Bad design but excellent video. Thanks
I agree, You're welcome!
Like everyone says...PITA... but I did myself a favor and dropped the last screw on reinstall...I say fuck the last screw!!! My wife has allergies and so I'm doing this job every year or so... this is the 4th time... can't wait till next year, no dirty little fourth screw!!!
Thank you for watching!
Not easy but your video realy help!
Glad it helped!
Nice Video, Thanks. This is one of the most awkward works I have ever done. Very poor design.
You're welcome!
Thank you! I would not have found that on my own.
Thank you for watching!
Helpful hint, To get to that hard to reach top screw put your full size screwdriver abbe the computer. It line right up wit the top hard to reach screw. Try taking it out first and the rest seem easy.
Thank you for informing us!
Very comprehensive. Thank you. What a ball ache of a job though! Poor design. Particularly that top screw.
Thank you for the awesome compliment! Mazdas are one of the trickier cars to change a cabin filter on. Hopefully you got it done in a breeze! Thanks for watching!
how do you get the top filter to stay up so that I can slide the bottom one in
Use one hand to hold the first filter up in the housing and use your other hand to install the second filter. This can be tricky and may take some patients to install.
Unless your body comes without shoulders, it is nearly impossible to hold both filters at the same time in the confined space.
Thank you so much
You are welcome!
man this is crazy! way easier to do this on my civic. can change that filter in about 15 seconds sitting in the driver seat. might rethink doing this on my girlfriend's 3...

Thank You for help!
Thanks for watching!
I found the easiest way to access the screws was to lay with my feet on the driver's seat with my right flank on the passenger's seat. That way my right arm could get in and my head was at the correct level.

Tks for the video.
You're welcome!
On the 2009 Mazda 5 GT the satellite radio gets in the way of putting the 2 filter straight in and I kept knocking down the upper filter. You might have to move the satellite radio out of your way.
Thank you for informing us!
Mine is 2009 Mazda 5. What a nightmare to work on:(
very well done, helpful video
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Thank you brother
You're welcome!
how about 2004 Mazda 3 ?I think it is in different location.I removed that panel with 3 screws on mine and the cavity is empty.

I cannot pull the filters out. I don't know if it because the UK version has got something in the middle of the foot well and there is no room for taking them out.
If you have a right side driving car the steps may be reversed and you may have to remove the filters from the left side.
muy bueno el video porque yo tengo una mazda 5 2012 y no sabia donde se encuentra el filtro del aire y llamando a los dealers y no me informaban bien pero este video me informo bien donde se encontraba gracias
Happy to know we could help you change your cabin filter. Thank you for watching!
thank you
You're welcome!
Excellent Video
Thank you for watching!
Would be easier if my elbows bent the other way. Good vid though! Thanks! Getting the bottom filter in isnt very fun at all!
Glad we could help! These footwell housings can be a bit tricky to work with.
why do you have to disconnect the wires
We suggest removing the wires so you don't put stress on them when installing and removing your cabin air filter.
@filterheads haha, fair enough. I've read this is even more complex on a 3 then a 5 unfortunately.... mazda really wanted this to be something you take to their dealers I'm guessing.
I did this on my 2008 mk1 Mazda 3 .I wish I'd noted which way round they went . I found a different video online that shows the space they fit into . I vacuumed it out as there were leaves/ debris in the housing etc . Will take a photo before I remove them next time. Hard to shine torch as it's in passenger side of centre under dash on RHD uk models.

Pain in the butt. Last filter changed on my Mazda 5 2012
It is definitely a challenging housing location to work with
Good video!
Thank you for watching!
I thought they change the filter system in 2010..so it would be easier is that correct?

Thanks! Whew!
You're welcome!
Easier than doing it in an 06 Mazda 3.
Yes it is.
Why would they make it so inaccessible
It is a poor design.
thx
You're welcome!
Thanks
You're welcome!

La 4ème visse est tout simplement impossible à atteindre...drôle de design...
It is a challenge to remove the 4th screw.
Its not that hard. Just don't loose a screw.. I did this on my 2010 mazda 3 and I couldn't get the box to seal correctly and it lose some air through the gap it created when the blower was on. Also make sure to plug those connectors in firmly or you'll get intermittent use of different blower speeds.

I changed mine summer of 2010 and it was a pain in the butt. Mazda did not design this without considering ease of replacement in mind since this is can be a reqular owner maintenaned item. Price of cabin filters here in Canada is just retarded, purchased mine on-line and had it shipped to me for less than half of Canadian prices.

@halocore But it's your girlfriend's car! Man up!

I agree it is a poor design.
