- This video shows the steps required to install the Zymex padded center console armrest on a fourth generation Mazda MX-5 Miata (2016+ - including ND1, ND2, ND3, soft top and/or RF variants). The specific car in this video is a 2020 MX-5 RF Grand Touring with Snowflake White Pearl Mica exterior paint and Red Nappa Leather interior options.
While this install may appear a little daunting, it's honestly not difficult to install. Simply take your time and be gentle with your interior trim pieces. If something isn't budging, try gently pulling from a different angle to loosen the plastic tabs that hold things in place. With a little patience and finesse, anyone can tackle this project.
Personally, I am very satisfied with the end result and look forward to testing it out with real-world driving. I can already tell the angle of my arm to the shift knob is much improved over the factory arm pad. I also like it removes the possibility of nudging the Infotainment controls. This armrest comes in three color options for the stitching (all meant to replicate factory stitching, depending on your year/model). Below is the link to this armrest:

Comment below if you have any questions! I hope I may be able to help someone out! Thanks for watching, and drive safely!
i've installed a similer one and it's a little thing but made me very happy as the old one bloody hurt my elbow where it just landed
@@beachuk2000 I was a little skeptical at first due to cost, but I've been very happy with this modification and would spend the money again without hesitation. Glad to hear yours is a welcomed upgrade as well! 😀
@@SeanStettnichs when its a daily driven the little comfert mods just make you smile. the other 2 things i'd recomend are getting Carplay set up and get the window controller to get auto up and windoe roof controls just make it better
@@beachuk2000 awesome, thank you for the recommendations!
Thank you, Sean. Thoughtful presentation.
@@jeffreyarmitage5163 thank you for the kind words. Glad you liked it!
I used the padded armrest kit from Redline Goods to the same effect. This looks easier as I had to glue the leather to the foam and had to reuse the original lid, but I used memory foam and it feels great. Since you're already in there, I recommend replacing the shifter and parking break vinyl with matching leather (Redline Goods) for a more upscale look.
@@mikeb9569 nice! I'll have to check that out. Same with the shifter/e-brake leather!
