Sorry, sometimes I just miss the forest from the trees. It's almost too bad the damage wasn't to a piece of glass. I cringe at the thought of paint work on a new car, and even on new and unfaded paint, blending into the fender and rear door may still be necessary for a visually acceptable fix...

Guys, I'm starting to get antsy on the hood lift system. Redline tuning and Corksport may or may not get to this in the next year, if ever. Autoexe is damn pricey on this item, and then add shipping/tariffs from HK. Still, there's a US distributor called Mazmart, and I'm going to give them a...

That's the driver side mirror, right? I doubt it can be buffed out. If it does not pass the "ball point pen" test (i.e. if the gouges are deep enough for a ball point pen tip to drop in and follow their contours, then the glass is unrepairable. I'm not sure if the glass and plastic backing that...

No, it's a factory installed group of options that cost a little over $2,000 on the MSRP sticker. If you didn't get the tech package from factory, almost none of the options except the nav unit are dealer installable. Basically, you have to live with what you got. It's actually a nice package...

There's somebody on the "other" forum with the same issue, and the dealer has been useless. He's got the ear of a Mazda district rep, but that's no guarantee of a solution. Sure, anybody who hasn't taken a 6 hour drive or better might shrug at least it't not me, but how do you know? I bet this...

You have to go through BBB Auto Line before you can litigate. There's a good chance you can get a replacement at that level. However, you have to send Mazda a letter stating that you intend to arbitrate through BBB. You must give them one final chance to correct the issue, but the number of days...

x2 on that close-up beam pattern image. It would be an interesting comparison to the beam pattern on the factory xenons. Info on ballasts (35W vs. 55W) and the lumen rating of the lamps?

I guess the dealer would be a start.

Not sure how to submit a request form, but I'd buy a set of hood struts for the 2014 Mazda 6, and I'm sure other owners will, also.

I paid $28,000 including "dealer prep". On top of that, I paid 6% MD sales tax, and MVA tag and title fees. Total $29,908 out the door for a Grand Touring end of July with no customer loyalty cash. MSRP was $30,520 because of trunk net, wheel locks, all weather mats, etc. Personally, I would...

I think it's a design flaw in the positioning/shape of the mirrors or the design of the door weatherstrips. Lots off people are having issues with the rear door weatherstrip rubber coming off at the mounting points. The weatherstrip design as a whole is far from robust. It really detracts from...

Please don't stop being a part of the community here, especially based on my post. There's so much you can learn here and at another forum that is based predominately on Mazda 6's of all years, including ours. There's things you can contribute, you already have. Hardly anybody in the US has seen...

Not to be roud, but you should be able do drive another wagon in your part of he world with the exact configuration as yours. Maybe doing that will convince you your wagon is operaing as designed, to use words I myself loathe hearing when I have a real problem. Maybe this is not the vehicle for...

Welcome, but it would be nice if you indicated where Redline is physically located. It is not obvious from their website. I stand corrected, they're in SE Michigan, broadly speaking, and it's something I would gladly buy once available for our cars. OP, you might also post your request on the...

The valve does the same thing while you're shifting a manual transmission in order to keep the turbo spinning, so I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss the BPV as the source of your "noise". I listened to your video several times and have come to the same conclusion as "No Pistons", there is...

Bypass valve, a valve that keeps the turbocharger spinning when the driver lets off the throttle.

You couldn't pay me to give any insurance company free reign over my every move, and for what, to save some money. Wouldn't do it even to save 50% annually. Not to mention possible damage to your ECU, which I am sure they wash their hands of in the fine print. Other sureties besides Progressive...

That's a really nice, modest drop, not too extreme, perfect for my taste. I wonder how it affects the ride/handling? I never considered a drop because some of the road conditions in Baltimore City are downright nasty, but I could live with this. Sometimes I hate coming on this and the other...

My pleasure, Alex. For future reference, those little teeth behind the hexhead are there for a reason. If you shine a flashlight down the round hole on the top radiator support (between the oval hole and the termination point of the radiator support on each side), you will see the plastic bolt...

I will attempt to scan them into my computer and attach them into a post. I know my cars, computers, not quite so much. If I can't accomplish it, and you are willing, PM me and I will make copies and I will physically mail them to you. I do understand that involves a bit of trust, so I will...
