Anodised aluminium replacements for worn plastic rear latch buttons. UV-resistant blue finish keeps both RX8 rear window buttons matched and sharp.
$50
RX8 rear window buttons in blue anodised aluminium replace the original plastic latch hardware on every Mazda RX8 from 2003 to 2012. The pair addresses a common cabin detail that ages poorly. Faded or scuffed plastic stands out against an otherwise tidy interior. Each button fits the original latch position, so no modification is needed.
For RX8 enthusiasts refreshing the interior, swapping the worn plastic for a fresh set of rear window buttons is a small change that reads well in person. Faded plastic latch hardware draws the eye once you notice it.
Fitting a new anodised pair restores consistency and adds a deliberate colour touch to a detail most owners overlook.
If the blue suits your interior palette, the LEG MOTORSPORT Anodized and UV Resistant Rear Window Button x2 (Red) is the matching red alternative. For a broader cabin refresh, the AUTOEXE Nappa Leather Gearknob (Round Shape, Red Stitch) and GENUINE MAZDA OEM Rear Boot Brake Lamp Cover complement these RX8 rear window buttons well.

The LEG MOTORSPORT blue anodised rear window buttons fit all Mazda RX8 Series 1 (2003-2008) and Series 2 (2009-2012) models. The set is a direct replacement for the original rear window latch button positions on both series.
The set includes two buttons, covering both rear window latch positions. Replacing both at the same time keeps the visible hardware matched from side to side rather than leaving one original plastic button behind.
They are machined from aluminium and finished with a blue anodised coating. This replaces the original plastic hardware with a more substantial material that holds its colour better over time.
The anodised surface is UV resistant, which is relevant given the rear window buttons sit in direct line of sunlight through the rear glass. This is the key durability advantage over the original plastic hardware, which is prone to fading and degradation over time.
No. The LEG MOTORSPORT buttons retain the original rear window latch arrangement and sit at the same positions as the factory hardware. The upgrade is a finish and material change, not a functional modification to the latch mechanism.
Yes, particularly if the original plastic buttons have lost colour or condition. Swapping both at once keeps the cabin consistent, and the blue anodised finish pairs well with other interior accent details for a more considered overall look.
These are direct replacement buttons for the existing rear window latch positions, so fitment follows the original mounting arrangement. No modification to the latch mechanism or surrounding trim is required.
