2017 Mazda MX-5 (Miata) dash removal: Some pictures are of a Mazda 3 but similar in removal.
1. Partially remove dash trim below the AC vent by
gently pulling towards you with a panel
remover. Avoid removing it completely as it will
be difficult to put back in.
2. With the dash trim out of the way, remove
the AC vent by gently pulling it out. Use a
panel removal tool if necessary.
