Like new. Rear rubber cargo tray and four carpet mazdaspeed3 mats. $50. Call or email me at [REMOVED] Danny

I could see that happening. I have to hit the window button twice somtimes to get it going. I would imagine that the strain on the window regulator will take it's toll in a few years.

I used the silicone lube on the rubber track along the top and it appears to have helped. At first i used a QTip to apply but then I resorted to using a rag and thoroughly wiped the track with it. Surprisingly enough, the windows still stick somewhat. Like I said, it's better, but how can it...

Hey Thanks for the tip, I'll try the silcone lube. I am concerned with the long term effects of the windows sticking. It sounds like its straining the window mechanical parts and the motor.

Am I the only one who has a problem with the power windows sticking in the closed position? The front ones are worse than the rear, possibly because I use them more. The rubber that accepts the glass at the top seems to be the culprit. It seems like it is tacky and holds the window shut. In...

Yeah but it looks a hella lot better than the dashawk or the other one....costs more too. I wonder, does it log?

yup. I got the same problem. Im only 5'10" but I feel like I need more leg room or the wheel needs to telescope more.

The dealer did my windshield and got rid of some of the squeaks and creaks but in the cold I can still hear them. They are just not as loud. And they didnt put my wipers back on correctly so I had to adjust them myself (smash)

Yeah. My passenger seat started squeaking several months ago on my '08 speed3 and the driver seat is starting now. I will see what the dealer says about the TSB. I'm a DIY kinda guy but if the hardware isn't correct, lubing it up will only mask the problem and it will just keep coming back. I...

I'm in New Jersey & I saw a little rust after about a year on the underside of the car at the rear. I think it was on the chasis. I wire brushed and painted it black. I think it is normal in my area.

I dont believe all dynos are not created equal and therefore will not produce the same results

(shrug) i was wondering the same. Do you have to subscribe to get the results?

I get a click/clunky noise when i exit or enter my driveway slowly at sharp angles (putting a lot of stress on the front corner)

how much were they and they still working as initially reported? I cant take the dust neither and I think I may change mine prematurely too.

wow there are some wise asses on this forum. funny s***... 1) Brake dust on the front wheels is excessive 2) The car is bumpy (but to be expected) 3) Paint is thin (mucho chips at the front end) 4) I still need to get used to 6 speed (I've driven 5-speed all my life and the 6-speed gears are...
