No need to use a thumbs down before you know and understand the part details?

The year of your Mazda is required to give accurate answers.

if it is this one then it is not close and easily cleaned.

Looking on your profile and finding other threads you started I see you have a 2020 CX5 .
See many parts for your Mazda :
2020 MAZDA CX-5 2.5L L4 Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor | RockAuto

Cleaning sensors
Mazda3 Things I like to do - Page 38 - Mazda Forum - Mazda Enthusiast Forums

There are other on that thread as well

At the lower plastic housing it is open and with a flashlight you can see up into the MAS. You spray ONLY MAS/MAP sensor cleaner up into that area. Let it completely air dry. DO NOT use air pressure to dry it or you can damage the sensor.

I'm sure you will find openings on the other side. Never seen a MAF that don't expose the element to the intake air.
Looks like this one on Ebay.

I see some open holes in the plastic.

hmm you are never to late to the party.
And I think I covered by way of pictures and my own servicing of them?

Maybe because you have a solid background on service would be to actually post you own supporting pictures ?

Do not pry or use any tool on this part. Just get the proper cleaner spray it and let it naturally air dry only. Do not wipe even with a rag.

OMG caliiso you never stop the BS. Sorry to beat you to the punch.
I dont see a pic taken from a tradie but an internet pic. I fix cars and don't waist my time taking pics for internet forums.
I really think you work is parts and have little trade knowledge.
Please stop harrasing me and taking over other peoples posts.
