Genuine Mazda Handbrake Leather Gaiter & Mounting Frame • NH52-64-43Y

Genuine Mazda NH52-64-43Y Handbrake Leather Gaiter & Mounting Frame

Replacement Genuine Mazda handbrake gaiter assembly for Mazda MX-5 Mk3.5 and Mk3.75 NC facelift models produced from 2009 to 2015.

The gaiter surrounds the handbrake lever where it passes through the centre console. It covers the opening around the parking-brake mechanism and provides the original finished appearance within the cabin.

The gaiter is supplied already attached to its moulded plastic mounting frame. The complete assembly clips directly into the centre-console trim, avoiding the need to remove and transfer the original retaining frame.

Age, repeated handbrake use and interior heat can cause the original material to crack, peel, split or pull away from its stitching. The plastic retaining clips may also become brittle or damaged during console removal.

One handbrake gaiter assembly is fitted per vehicle, and this listing supplies one complete Genuine Mazda gaiter and mounting frame.

Fitment restriction: This is the facelift version for Mk3.5 and Mk3.75 NC models. It does not replace the earlier pre-facelift Mk3 NC1 assembly, which uses a different mounting arrangement and Mazda part number.

Fitment advice: This assembly fits the facelift centre-console arrangement used on MX-5 Mk3.5 and Mk3.75 NC models. The pre-facelift Mk3 NC1 gaiter has a different frame and must not be substituted.

Other items to consider: Inspect the handbrake grip, centre-console trim, console retaining clips, storage-compartment lid and surrounding trim panels. Replace any brittle or damaged clips before refitting the console.

Useful tools / consumables: Plastic interior-trim tools, small screwdriver and protective masking tape for nearby console surfaces.

Difficulty guide: DIY Difficulty: Easy. The complete assembly is designed to clip into the centre console, although care is required to avoid marking the trim or breaking the surrounding plastic clips.

Why Genuine Mazda? Genuine Mazda interior trim components match the original mounting-frame dimensions, clip positions, material shape and console opening. The complete assembly provides a factory-style fit without modifying or transferring the original retaining frame.

What’s in the box: One Genuine Mazda handbrake gaiter and mounting-frame assembly, part number NH52-64-43Y.

Installation notes: Release the handbrake and move the surrounding console components as required for access. Use a plastic trim tool to lift the original gaiter frame evenly from the console without forcing individual clips. Slide the old gaiter over the handbrake lever, then position the replacement assembly with the seam and folds correctly aligned. Press the mounting frame evenly into the console until every retaining clip is fully engaged. Operate the handbrake through its full travel and confirm that the gaiter does not twist, pull free or obstruct the lever.
