What have you done to your CX-5 today?

Agree on the lack of a glove box light. Some other annoyances due to Mazda's cost cutting are the lack of window switch button lighting except for the drivers window. Also no courtesy lights on the front floor foot wells or at the bottom of the door panels. The cargo area could have had more lighting also. Not aware if they improved on these things on the Gen2 /and or upscale models.

Now that is a nice mod! Very well done!

If you're open to providing additional info, I'd love to do this mod myself on my CX-9. I always found it odd that the glove box doesn't have it's own light.

I’ll find some times to write up a diy guide.

My rear link kit came undone, I tried to tighten it but felt it stripping so ordered a replacement.

Lasted 30k km / 18.6k miles

Bought MOOG K750671 to try. Mostly for the ability to use a wrench vs hex to tighten. I think you need 18 mm to hold it if you’re curious.

After installing it… not sure if there is a difference to be honest. Hex gets stuck. This one cramps up my hands In both cases there isn’t a lot of room. I used some knipex pliers to hold and it’s easy to tear the boots. Time will tell.
