Genuine Mazda Tapping Screw With Captive Washer • 9GG6-00-612B

Genuine Mazda 9GG6-00-612B Tapping Screw With Captive Washer

Replacement Genuine Mazda tapping screw and captive washer assembly for selected Mazda MX-5 Mk1 / NA and Mazda RX-7 FD body, headlamp and associated mounting applications listed in the compatibility table.

The screw is positively identified as a pop-up headlamp-surround or headlamp-retractor-area mounting fastener on Mazda RX-7 FD models.

It is also catalogued for 1994–1997 Mazda MX-5 Mk1 / NA vehicles, although the available application data does not establish its exact MX-5 installation position.

The self-tapping thread secures the appropriate panel, bracket or cover, while the captive washer spreads the clamping load and remains attached to the screw during removal.

Replacement may be required where the original fastener is missing, corroded, seized, rounded, cross-threaded or damaged during component removal.

This listing supplies one individual Genuine Mazda tapping screw with captive washer.

Fitment advice: The fastener is confirmed for the Mazda RX-7 FD pop-up headlamp-surround or retractor assembly. It is also catalogued for 1994–1997 Mazda MX-5 Mk1 / NA models, but the available catalogue information does not identify the exact MX-5 mounting location.

Position advice: Mazda used this general-purpose tapping screw in more than one vehicle and assembly. Compare the original fixing, mounting aperture and associated Mazda diagram before assigning it to a specific repair position.

Reference advice: 9GG6-00-612B replaces earlier Mazda reference 9078-60-612G. The older number may appear in original parts diagrams or workshop documentation.

Quantity advice: This listing supplies one fastener. The number required depends on the vehicle and component being repaired.

Thread advice: Start the screw by hand and confirm that it follows the original thread correctly. Do not force it into a damaged, obstructed or incorrectly sized mounting point.

Washer advice: Confirm that the captive washer sits flat against the component when tightened. A distorted washer can create uneven clamping or damage a plastic surround or painted panel.

Tightening advice: Tighten only sufficiently to secure the component. Excessive tightening can strip the mating material, damage the screw head or crack a plastic mounting panel.

Corrosion advice: Clean loose corrosion and contamination from the mounting area before installation. Repair a damaged captive fixing, bracket or panel rather than relying on a larger replacement screw.

RX-7 advice: When used on an RX-7 FD headlamp surround, check the surrounding trim, brackets and pop-up headlamp mechanism for damage or misalignment before tightening the replacement fastener.

MX-5 advice: For MX-5 applications, retain the removed fastener as a visual reference and confirm the relevant vehicle diagram because the precise NA mounting position is not established by the available general application data.

Other items to consider: Consider inspecting the corresponding bracket, captive clip, grommet, panel or surrounding fasteners according to the installation position.

Useful tools / consumables: Correctly fitting screwdriver or driver bit, small ratchet where appropriate, penetrating fluid, trim-removal tools and corrosion-protection products.

Difficulty guide: DIY Difficulty: Easy to moderate. Access and difficulty depend on the vehicle and the component secured by the screw.

Why Genuine Mazda? Genuine Mazda fasteners are manufactured to the intended thread form, head profile, washer design and mounting requirements. Using the correct OE screw helps avoid damage caused by an unsuitable universal fastener.

What’s in the box: One Genuine Mazda tapping screw with captive washer, part number 9GG6-00-612B. Surrounds, panels, brackets, clips and installation tools are not included unless specifically shown or stated separately.

Installation notes: Remove any damaged original fastener and inspect the mating thread or captive fixing. Align the panel, surround or bracket correctly and start the replacement screw by hand. Tighten it using a correctly fitting tool until the captive washer sits securely against the component, taking care not to strip the mounting point or crack surrounding plastic.
