Need source for CX-9 GT Rear Console Part

[wolfstock]

Hi all - newbie here.

I'm up to 3 Mazdas in the family now - generally been super-happy with them.

I'm looking for parts that's turning out to be hard to find, and my local dealer isn't being much help - they're having a hard time finding the right part in the catalog, and so am I online actually; the online catalog seems confused on this part. The dealer is showing me different part that's $700 and is backordered until Nov.

This is what I'm looking for - the plastic piece that includes / surrounds the cupholder in the rear seat console. Mine's gotten broken in a couple of spots:

Anyone got tips for how I could acquire said part? I tried ebay which only had front console things, and I tried a bunch of junkyards around with no luck.

The official online site for Mazda parts does not even have any rear console parts, that I could find. Under "console" it only has the front console, and the only "rear" items it has are doors and seats - no console parts. Odd.

Thanks for any help.

Your CX-9 is probably a Signature model and not a GT. GT didn't have a rear center console. The hardest thing is often figuring out how Mazda named their parts.

I think that would be the part #19 here in the workshop manual:

Which I think equates to part #2 here (part number K139-64-430B-02) on this part catalogue. The price on the link below is in Canadian dollar.

You can google the part number to find American sources ( a lot cheaper).:https://www.mazdaswag.com/oem-parts...B6fZAhoOwIG22ogG-PwE0N4VrPWmAacJ08K3p3zzTnMd0


This is just my guess based on my quick Internet search. Make sure this is compatible with your specific vehicle.

Yes! Thank you. Not sure why but I had incorrectly written in my notes way-back-when that we we GT model but I see you're right it's Signature. And that is indeed the part.

The dealer did get to me actually with the correct info as well, and I ordered from MazdaPartsConnect. (much less $ than from dealer who would have needed to do a special order thing)

Part replaced and all is good. Thanks for the tip!

Funny side story - while I was replacing it one of the four screws went down into the console - down to the bottom. I couldn't even see it, so got out my endoscope, and found where it was was, but couldn't get it out, even with a thin grabber, and then trying various magnets. Super-frustrating! Finally got it out after about 90 minutes of work. (could have perhaps found a replacement screw but well - it's the principle of the thing)

So what should have been a 20-minute job ended up being 2 hours. Oh well.

Thats how all my job end up, with 90% of the time spent fishing something I dropped.
