Installing AC in a '04 ?

Mazda dealers have no offering for installing AC in a 2004, welll at
least here in Canada. That is my only regret, as the car in incredibly
hot in the summertime.

Has anyone got new info ? is it possible ?

Thanks.

Anything is possible at a cost, probably several thousand dollars in
this case. I'm assuming you have no interest in doing the job yourself
with junkyard parts. Almost certainly, you'd be ahead to sell the car
and buy another one with A/C.

As a matter of fact - I would consider some elbow grease.

I have inquired - and no one junkyard I have contacted seems to have
MX-5/Miatas with air...

Ideas ?

Thanks.

I remember when I bought my 03 in the UK that A/C was not a factory
option, but was offered as a dealer fit option at around £1,000. I
don't know if this helps but at least it gives an idea of the scale of
the job, and suggests that a lot of what you need is already there and
you just need the "big" hardware bits.

Taking the dash apart is the most complex and labor intensive part of the
conversion.
