Hey guys, I have an appointment tomorrow to get my windshield replaced. There were two choices: 1. Green tinted 2. Green tinted with blue sun band at the top I can't off the top of my head remember if there is already the blue band, but it seems like it would be a nice addition either way...

Hi guys, I came out this morning to a broken windshield on my car. Is there anything I should know when having it replaced? It doesn't have the auto wipers. Is all glass created equal? Should this be done at the dealer? Price isn't that important since I have a $50 deductible on glass...

Hi there, I live in CA and will be taking my car to the mountains this weekend. I seem to remember that we aren't supposed to use snow chains on the MS3. Can anyone confirm. If no chains, would snow cables be a better option. Anything I should know? Thanks in advance!

Hey guys, I've been looking at the Corksport down pipe for a while. In my research I've seen some people saying that this may cause smog testing issues while others say that it won't. Is there anyone in California that has this installed that has passed smog testing with no issues? Thanks!

I installed my CPE motor mount roughly 3 months ago and have been really happy with it. About 2 weeks ago the car started making a quick clunk every time I reversed, and then again when going forward after the reverse. I took the mount and the bracket that goes onto the engine off and noticed...

So my 2008 MS3 is due for it's 7500 mile service. I call the local dealer here in San Francisco and schedule an appointment. I ask how much this service is and I get quoted $250 (they have a $25 off coupon though). I thought this seemed high and they must be doing some kind of service I wasn't...

Does anyone in the San Francisco Bay Area have any experience with either of these Mazda dealers. I need to take my speed in for it's first scheduled maintenance and don't want any nasty surprises. Thanks!

My baby was rear ended last week by someone going 40mph or so. Now the headrests seem like there is a lot of play in them. The thing is, I don't know whether the play was there before. Can anyone check how much forward/backward play they have in their headrests? Mine seem to have about 1/2 inch...

I just got rid of the clicking sound coming from the cowl under the wiper blades, thanks soooo much to the multiple people that posted the fix for that one! The last rattle / clicking sound I need to fix is coming from what sounds like the pillar between the front and the back on the passenger...

It doesn't happen all the time, but there a good chance when I'm getting out of the car that I get a small shock. Feels like static electricity. Is this something common to the car? I have an after market stereo system, other than that the car is stock. I'm confident that the system is installed...

I keep my MS3 in a garage at home and in covered parking at work. I always park to minimize the chance of jack asses opening their doors into my car. Alas it happened anyway. My question is, can those places that remove dents remove really small dents? You know, the ones that aren't that obvious...

Sorry if this post is out of place, but I didn't find a suitable forum. Any time I turn on my automatic climate control, the A/C button lights up. My question is this: Is the compressor actually running? I'm concerned about the reduced fuel economy if it is. I of course understand that it...

I bought my MS3 in October it currently has just over 1000 miles on it. I just got a notice in the mail that it's recommended to change the oil every 3750 miles or every 3 months. Is this necessary? If not when would you guys recommend changing the oil? Thanks!

I recently replaced the stock 5x7s in the front door with 6.5 in speakers. I was wondering if anyone has ideas on how to make water shields so water in the door panel won't ruin the speakers? Thanks!
