    2017~2025 CX-5 Wiper Blade replacement questions

    I will say the Mazda wiper blades seem to last a lot longer than the ones on my last Lexus, so they seem well made. Only really needed to replace them after about 4 years.

    2017~2025 CX-5 Wiper Blade replacement questions

    Dang, can't blame the Brandon administration on that one! I also noticed that Mazda changed the parts for some mysterious reason on the 22+. For example, the factory hitch: https://parts.mazdausa.com/p/Mazda_2021_CX-5-25L-AT-4WD-Sport/CX-5-Trailer-Hitch/94313143/00008ER06.html...

    2016~2023 Roof rust on 2018 CX-9

    @sm1ke I'd be cautious about bringing it to your local dealer. Not sure how close you are to Ontario, but you don't want your local dealer seeing it and rejecting it and notating in their system, then trying to go to another dealer, if Buzzman's dealer would approve the same repair (I'd ask name...

    When was this? Was the body shop owned the same dealer group?

    Looks like shipping from Mazda Escondido to Ontario Canada (in the first ebay link) is ~11.50. You can also ask your local Mazda dealer for the price for both, I'm actually curious how big of a difference there is. Usually online is the better deal.

    Weird CX-5 on Autotrader

    https://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-sale/vehicledetails.xhtml?listingId=677488869 I check out the CX-5 on Autotrader to look at alternative colors and keep up on resale value (which is quite good, in my opinion). This one got my attention. Looks OK on the outside, but what the heck is going...

    I also recently applied some ceramic spray wax to the windshield and it really reduces the need for wipers in rainy conditions.

    I bought them from ebay from a Mazda dealer. The wiper inserts are overpriced - was $23 when I bought them in about a year and half ago in 2021, now $32. Just replaced the originals last week actually. 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 Mazda CX5 wiper inserts oem new !!! | eBay However, did a...

    It takes about two minutes to create a new account and post a short story on here. I place a lot more value in the NHTSA data because it's based on real names, VIN numbers, etc.

    What are your favorite aspects of your CX-5?

    I prefer FLAC, but the general consensus from what I've searched is that you cannot tell between FLAC (lossless) and 320 kbps MP3. https://www.reddit.com/r/headphones/comments/81svtk/can_you_tell_the_difference_between_flac_and/

    Frank the Tank 2.0

    This is one of the first things I did after buying the CX-5 and honestly should be pinned in the forum. Why Mazda uses a wrong sized spare tire fitment is a mystery especially since there is space for the correct sized tire.

    2017~2025 How to improve the CX-5 driving feel?

    I'm not surprised. The CC2 tread design is closer to an all terrain than a road tire. Also, Costco is one of the most hassle free places to buy from.

    Off Topic Genetics and life span

    One claims the benefit of a raw vegan diet, the other claims the benefit of an exclusively cooked meat diet. Not 80%, 90%; 100% meat diet. These positions cannot be further apart. They can't both be right.
