LEG MOTORSPORT Anodized and UV Resistant Rear Window Button x2 (Red) for Mazda RX8 (Series 1 & 2, 2003-2012)

Anodised aluminium RX8 rear window buttons replace faded plastic latch trims with durable, UV-resistant red to lift the cabin finish.

$50

RX8 rear window buttons from LEG MOTORSPORT are anodised aluminium replacements for the factory plastic rear latch trims. This two-piece set suits all Series 1 and Series 2 owners refreshing worn or discoloured touchpoints at the rear window. The red anodised finish is UV-resistant, so the colour holds where bare plastic would eventually fade or chalk.

RX8 Rear Window Buttons Key Features

  • Direct replacement fitment suits both Mazda RX8 generations, dropping into the existing rear latch button locations without modification.
  • The pack supplies two matched buttons, covering both rear latch positions so the result is consistent across the window.
  • Aluminium construction steps up from the original plastic trim, adding a more purposeful feel at a frequently touched cabin detail.
  • Red anodising is baked into the surface for UV-resistant colour that resists fading under Australian sun exposure.
  • Finally, the update retains the original latch arrangement entirely, changing only the visible finish without altering function.

For RX8 enthusiasts building a cohesive red-accented interior, RX8 rear window buttons are one of the smallest changes that still reads clearly from the back seat. The aluminium surface is noticeably more solid underhand than the plastic it replaces.

Carry the red detail further with the AUTOEXE Nappa Leather Gearknob (Round Shape, Red Stitch), which brings a matching accent to the centre console. If bucket seats are part of the build, the APEXi x BRIDE Zeta IV Classic Fixed-Back Bucket Seat (Red) inc Rails & Airbag Adapter carries the same red theme into the seating.

If you prefer blue anodising, the LEG MOTORSPORT Anodized and UV Resistant Rear Window Button x2 (Blue) is the direct colour alternative. Find out more about the manufacturer at the LEG MOTORSPORT official website.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do these rear window buttons fit both Series 1 and Series 2 RX8 models?

Yes, the LEG MOTORSPORT red anodised rear window buttons are a direct replacement for both Series 1 (2003-2008) and Series 2 (2009-2012) RX8 models. They fit the factory rear window latch button locations on both generations without modification.

How many buttons are included in this set?

The set includes two buttons, covering both rear window latch touchpoints. This means both locations can be refreshed with a matched finish in a single purchase.

What material are these buttons made from?

The buttons are machined from aluminium and finished with a red anodised coating. This replaces the original plastic trim material with something more purposeful, and the anodising provides UV resistance to help the colour hold over time.

Will the red anodised finish fade in sunlight over time?

The red anodised finish is UV resistant, which helps it maintain its colour better than bare plastic or painted surfaces exposed to regular sunlight through the RX8's rear glass.

Do these buttons change how the rear window latch works?

No. These are trim replacements that update the visible finish of the rear latch buttons. The underlying latch mechanism and its operation remain exactly as the factory intended.

Why replace the factory plastic rear window buttons at all?

The original plastic rear window button trims on RX8 models are a frequently handled area and prone to fading, cracking or degrading over time, particularly given Australia's UV conditions. Replacing them with aluminium units restores a clean appearance and upgrades the material quality at a visible touchpoint.

What other interior parts pair well with these red window buttons?

The Genuine Mazda OEM Sliding Centre Panel in leather with red stitching carries the same red accent theme through the centre of the cabin, helping create a consistent look across interior touchpoints.
