    Curt hitch installation instructions

    Caspan, absolutely. Matter of fact you cannot set the carriage bolt and mounting plate in place without them unless you are Houdini. The only opening to the frame with which place the hardware is from the larger of the three holes, and the fish wire makes this possible. You must do the...

    Will Hitch Class Upgrade over Mazda's stock Class 1 Void the Warranty?

    Drive the whole rig onto a proper scale and take a pic, there'd be little doubt in that me thinks.

    Curt hitch installation instructions

    Excellent post and I concur on all points especially in having assistance, I would however not suggest the use of WD-40 as its petroleum based and me thinks it would attack the rubber and degrade after a time.

    Meguiar's liqud wax -- looking for opinions and tips.

    +1 One thing about professionals and the like, when it comes to claying or buffing, I'd consider having someone with experience do these tasks.

    Mazda Accessory Hitch

    If you are the least bit mechanically inclined, you should be able to tackle the install. I personally would suggest some help to lift it up and onto the bolts, and if you have car ramps use them to give yourself room to work. Above all read the instruction sheet. Also any decent mechanic can do...

    Mazda Accessory Hitch

    What are you like 2 inches thick?! lolol I tried using my stomach to brace it but in the end I was lucky my neighbor came home and offered to help, the thing was just too heavy to mange the obstacles as well as fishing the fish wire through the mounting plate (I saw your issue above and...

    Pic and Measurement Request for Curt Hitch

    You're most welcome! BTW have a friend help with the install, unless you can benchpress a decent weight while navigating an obstacle course! Seriously, I was lucky my neighbor came home just as I was attempting to sock that b**** up and in (and having little to zero luck by my lonesome), good...

    CX-5 with 3 kids... Possible?

    Mazda 5. That's my neighbors did after lusting after my CX-5 lol They have 4 kids. One thought on this matter; I think when people talk about getting squashed, they're considering themselves size wise, not a child.

    Best wax/sealant for Siver CX 5

    I've used Klasse AIO and Sealant Glaze for 7+ years, both the cars look good and the paint is in great shape. I've clayed both cars as well. The luster you lust after may be something that is in the eye of the beholder, my LSM Sport model has more of a gorgeous silvery look than my older silver...
