    Dome light LED replacements that don't flicker? (2010 CX-9)

    Oh well, that's a shame. So the car itself cant handle the LEDs? Which sizes did you use for the rear dome lights? The ones that fit in the front seem to be ever so slightly off for the middle and rear. I got them in there and they are working, just weren't a perfect match.

    Rough estimate on a lift gate repair? 2010 CX-9

    You got those with the power liftgate? Does the gate shoot up now? The ones I got are so powerful it's like the liftgate is going to fly off the car!

    Dome light LED replacements that don't flicker? (2010 CX-9)

    So I replaced all of the inside lights in our cars with bright LEDs, they look amazing and provide way more light, but there is one issue. When the car doors are closed and the engine is off the lights flicker. They don't flicker when the door is open, they dont flicker when the engine is on...

    Okay I replaced them with the new ones. Popped right on. Door closes nicely and starts to open nicely. What happens now is that when the gate gets almost to the top suddenly it stops moving smoothly, springs up a few inches, bounces, then stops. Is like the strut fully extended loses grip...

    Rockauto has one set listed that say with power liftgate so I am going to give them a shot https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=12269505&cc=1444849&pt=1404&jsn=1 $12 so with everything else I have done this isn't too painful. Plus I just saved $1,600 by not going to the dealer for the...

    It was pointed out that most of the struts sold say "Without power lift gate" Do they make different kinds depending on the model?

    Rough estimate on a lift gate repair? 2010 CX-9

    Odd. The ones I have now worked fine for the past two years with no power liftgate so they were almost a manual one themselves. Do you know what part number yours is?

    Well how about this! I unscrewed stuff as suggested and can manually pull the screw down!!! Let me hook it back up inside the car and let's see what it does.

    The Ocala location is closed for the weekend, tried calling. Will need to wait until Monday for that. In the mean time I performed some surgery. Still not sure how to manually try anything. Since it's going to be a while before I can get a replacement I figure, as suggested, I can muck...

    Rough estimate on a lift gate repair? 2010 CX-9

    So it's stuck in the up position. Is there any way to manually screw it back down? The lift gate motor will only attempt to move when the door is closed. It tries to spin a tiny amount but then senses it is already up and stops. It won't try to spin back down. It only spins when the...
