    2013~2016 CX-5 Cargo Cover. Anyone try this one?

    That's the one I got 4 years ago. It has held up well; no squeaks or rattles and it still works smoothly. Definitely worth the extra $$

    Prices for a full brake job? 2018 CX-5

    My 2018 CX-5 has close to 60K on it. NJ Dealer says the rear brakes are shot and the fluid should be flushed. I passed on that because the dealer's work is shoddy, and I got a price from an independent shop to replace front and rear brakes and rotors, with a complete fluid flush for $860.00...

    Fuel Pump Recall. Any done yet?

    Had mine done last week; tank was almost empty, no difference in acceleration, mileage or general performance. Seems to idle a bit smoother though.

    Scratched Grille Emblem

    The rivets hold the part securely so the gaps are kept even. You have to bend the radiator shroud back quite a bit, but I was able to push the center of the two recessed retaining pins in with a small screwdriver to loosen them, then used...

    Scratched Grille Emblem

    Well, I guess I have to answer my own question. You CAN remove the upper grille cover WITHOUT removing the entire grill. It takes a little time and patience. I covered the new part with painter's tape to protect it during installation. Since I plan to save the old part, I covered it as well...

    Scratched Grille Emblem

    Thank you for the information. It was very helpful. I managed to buff out the scratches on the lens; however the scraped upper grille cover needs to be replaced. So the question now becomes, can you remove the upper grill cover without removing the entire bumper assembly?

    Scratched Grille Emblem

    Someone scraped across the front of my 2018 CX-5. It took the paint off of the front edge of the top grille cover and scratched the emblem. Is there a way to remove the clear plastic emblem cover and replace it without removing the entire front bumper assembly? Thanks in advance.

    2018 slight squeak

    Since I bought the car new, 3 years ago, there has been a very slight squeak in the dash, which sounds like a light tap or creak while driving, whenever the outside temperature goes below 30 degrees. It is very hard to find the location of the noise, but it may be coming from the heads up...

    Misalignment of fender/bumper on new car

    Here is a little tip about karma. I leased a beautiful Buick GS back in 2016. When it was delivered, there was a dime sized blemish in the paint on the rear fender. When polished, it nearly disappeared, but came back when the wax wore off. I thought about having the fender repainted, but...

    Are you content with 19” Toyos or replacing them ASAP?

    I went with Michelin Primacy Tour A/S in the original size. Very quiet and slightly better handling.

    Are you content with 19” Toyos or replacing them ASAP?

    Simple. Hated the Toyos, when they wore out (early) I replaced them with Michelins. Love the Michelins.
