Windscreen Cowl Grommet MX5 Mk3/3.5/3.75 Reviews

Genuine Mazda PartGenuine Mazda replacement windscreen cowl screw grommet. Believe it or not, this little blighter can be the cause of water getting into either the drivers or passenger side footwell. The foam gasket on the back drys out and falls apart leaving a direct path for water to follow into the cabin of the vehicle. There are two required per car, and they are located at either end of the windscreen cowl. Simply pop out the black oval shaped cap, removed the screw underneath, lift up the cowl itself to give you access to the grommet underneath.Fits all Mk3, Mk3.5 & 3.75 models, 2005>2015Tip: It might also be worth ordering a couple of the Hole Covers at the same time as these also go brittle and often break when trying to remove them!

Had a problem with water leaking into the footwell on the passenger side, went on some forums that described all sorts of horrors and blocked drain holes but then saw mention of a leaking grommet after a windscreen replacement. As it was a cheap fix I thought I would try it, wasn't confident about it. Part came very quickly and I gave it a go. Didn't even have to get my book out, it was straightforward. Took off wipers and scuttle plate and removed the old ones. I replaced everything,only took about 20 minutes. Still wasn't convinced but since then it has poured down and not a drop! Sometimes the simple fixes do the job! I think I could have done the job without taking off the wipers but it was hard. If you have to get the screen replaced get a couple of these as well, save you some hassle.
