    TPMS Sensor part number BDGF-37-140 question

    (BHA4-37-140) Metal (BDGF-37-140) rubber Both work. I had a 2017 and now a 2021 where my winters had the metal stems and are working perfectly fine. I believe the changeover happened for 2021 Model year. As you are in Canada with snow, I'd say the rubber stems are better as the mounting nuts...

    2021 CX-5 BSM system vs 2017 version

    Vibration with winter tires on CX-5

    While I agree you should go back to the dealership as they initially did the install, perhaps a second opinion from a dedicated Tire shop if all else fails and you're not getting anywhere with the dealership. Tire shops deal with one thing alone while the dealership may not have the specialty...
