who makes this and sells it.. i saw it on a web site now i cant remember where ?

any help please :)

does anyone have this ?

It seems kind of thick... Not sure if it looks all that good... May be wrong though.
Do you know if it replaces the current part of just lays over that?

i think it sits ontop.. i want to put somthing there.. Leather would be nicer.. I may buy it and cover it with leather

preacher has it

if you have a manual, i don't think you will put your arms all the way back there.....

and if it comes with out the little rotary symbol, it'll be nicer...

Well, I have my arm on the cussion most of the time, and I drive a manual. But I'll go for the red leather cushion from Mazda, looks better with black / red interior imho.

Mazda makes one ? I most deffanitly need the extra padding..
MY elbow gets sore .. My ares are long enough that my elbows sits on the pad while i shift..

P.s. i keep my drinks in the rear cup holders cause its the perfect spot for my long arms :)

Yes, but I haven't seen any NA dealers selling them. Only seen special order from japan, like japanparts.com

Not sure if they're extra padded, but at least they're leather and probably better than the standard cushions. And they certainly look better with a bi-color interior.

JApanparts is a great source..
IS that extra padded or is it like oem but diffrent colors ?

I wouldn't buy one... It's hard enough to reach behind me to get to stuff in the middle console behind the cupholders. I wouldn't want to have to hold up the door as well. (read as: there is no clearnace between the seat and the top of the door when it is in the up position)

Huh ?


wich unit are you talking about ?


and why do you want to get in the rear cupholders with the front one open ?

First of all the pic of the cushion is for the front.
Go back and re-read what I wrote.. You'll soon make sense of it. The door this cushion attachs to moves back to reveal the front cupholders. Then the door swings up to a "MIDDLE" console revealing a storage space and power outlet. The difficulty I'm talking about is to try and reach back there (power outlet/storage area) while in the drivers seat) and that is when the door (with no cushion) is open (and staying open) by itself.

The cushion that they are selling is way thicker then stock and the stock door just clears the side of the front seat when fully open.

again with unit.. were talking about 2 diffrent units here.. i dont mean front and back.. i mean Japan parts vs the other padded unit.

again.. why are you trying to reach behinde you with the front console open ? I have np at all reaching the power outlit in there ..

but you are talking about the japan parts peice yes ?

MyRxBad,

I understand what you're getting at, but I just received my Zeta armrest cushion today and put it on and tested it. I have no trouble with the center console lid staying open with this cushion installed. There is enough clearance.

hows the paddedness :)

does it feel good :)

soo maybe the Japan parts one is the bad one.. Although i was eyeing the black leather

I bought the Zeta one on EBay - installs easy (a 5 yr old could do it) and YES - it feels real comfortable. A nice, cheap improvement.

thank you

Sorry I didn't respond earlier, thew. Yes, it's very comfortable. Not TOO soft, but certainly softer than stock. Looks nice, too.

The Zeta cushion pad is only 1/2" thick. It does not get in the way of the door staying up or when shifting. It sticks to the exisitng console lid using velcro tape.

ok .. i think you have sold me.. i will buy it and try to get a peice of leather applyed to it.

Without anything extra the leather shoudl just sit ontop without makeing it hard to open all the way.


Thanks for your help :)
