So, I sold our 2006 Mazda 5 however did not want to part with the Homelink mirror so I simply removed it and left the wiring harness in place as it was too much trouble to remove it.
Silly me figured I could just go to the dealership and purchase the harness as part of kit 0000-8C-L12 only to...
Been using Collinite Super Doublecoat Auto Wax #476 for years and my winter wheels look like day 1 when I got them.
Easily obtainable from Amazon.com for $19.
Duct work are sealed up so it won't fall through to somewhere under the dash.

Really hard to say how much more mileage...
Way back in time, I remember my Driving Instructor telling me what you don't use will seize up over time. He also went on to say that it was your only manual way or 2nd brake should your brakes fail.

MSRP = Manufacturer Suggested Retail Price.
What you need to know before you go into any negotiations about a deal, is the Invoice Price the dealer pays for the vehicle. Once you know this price, keep in mind that the dealership has to make money too to cover their operational costs and make...
