It came sealed in the same cardboard envelope it ships from Mazda to dealerships.

Ah okay yeah that makes sense. Probably why it keeps popping loose then. Thanks!

Most of you probably already know this, but I thought I'd mention it just in case. Our 2016.5 CX-5 Touring came with the optional navigation add-on and we missed it when we bought our 2019 Touring. I didn't want to spend 300 some odd dollars to pay the stealership to "install" it, so I did some...

Oh I don't have a problem with this particular dealer, I just have a problem with anyone other than myself touching anything I own. I do EVERYTHING I can possibly do myself, be it home pest control, working on our vehicles, all of it. But yeah, certainly if I see where this issue persists I...

I clicked it back in. It might have just been loose or something. If it becomes a problem I'll take it back but I'd almost rather do anything than go to a stealership. Was just curious if anyone else had noticed anything similar.

My wife and I just bought a new 2019 CX-5 Touring. Black interior (pleather seats) with the white or off white or whatever headliner and upper trim. I guess maybe they're all this way? I dunno. Anyway, the driver's side A-pillar trim piece keeps coming lose. It happens sometimes whenever we...

So I got the WeatherTech in channel vent visors and attempted to install the driver's side and it broke. Specifically, two pieces of plastic snapped off of the inside the channel portions, one in front and one in back when I attempted to roll up the window. I did it exactly like they recommended...

Okay, back from the four hour (one way, 8 hours total in two days) trip and the seats in our '19 are definitely less comfortable than in our old "16.5. I wish they hadn't changed them. My right hip bothered me most of the ride. I was okay to keep driving, but certainly not anywhere near as...

We had a 2016.5 Touring with cloth seats and both my wife and I (she is 5'6" and weighs about 95lbs, I am 6'2" and weigh about 250lbs) liked those seats just fine. I have a lot of trouble sitting for long periods because of knee problems, and eventually my hips will start complaining too. This...

Something else that may help is a good synthetic spray wax in between real waxes. I have been using Meguiar's D15601 Synthetic X-Press Spray for a while now. I use it each time I wash our vehicles and then wax them just once or twice a year, at most. It helps a ton with environmental fallout and...

Sounds like the color of a car is the least of your issues...

No flaming from me! 😀 I can see where gray might be more difficult to see but when someone pulls out the way that driver did it wouldnt have mattered what color her car was. He had no insurance and no drivers license and couldnt speak English. He went to jail. I am pretty sure he was just not...

My buddy had a silver 2005 Mazda 3S. Both of ours were manuals. He had some issues with his, had to replace the clutch and some other stuff. I never had a single problem with mine. Not one. In fact, I haven't had any problems with any of the Mazdas or Toyotas I've owned. Can't say the same for...
