    Drivers side window sliding forward

    Hey peeps, I have a 2016 GT AWD and recently I’ve been noticing that my driver side window seems to be sliding or tilting forward a bit when I open and close the window. I can tell because of the slight gap where my window tint is is larger. If I grab the window I can push/pull it. Ask into the...

    Source for rear brake parts (Kit)?

    Are we sure on this? here is the excerpt from the maintenance mode procedure listed above: Now go do whatever you need to do on the brakes, for the rear brake pistons DO NOT TURN THE PISTONS, compress them straight back like you would do the fronts. After they are compressed back make sure the...

    Source for rear brake parts (Kit)?

    I know about the TSB and don't know if that's the issue that I'm having or not. I've checked the temps of the rotors before with my infared gun after driving and they weren't any different then the fronts so I'm thinking I don't have brake drag. I have 42K on the clock and I think I'm just due...

    Source for rear brake parts (Kit)?

    Hello all, I am in need of some new rear rotors and pads I believe, I'm going to pull a wheel today and have a closer look at them. Anyhow, I live in Wisconsin and would really like to replace them with coated rotors like the Centric E-coated ones for better rust proofing. Anyone know of a good...

    Winter/Snow tires

    I have WS80 224/55R17's mounted on some 17" cheap wheels from craigslist. I have not found conditions yet that give me pause when I have them installed. I live in Wisconsin and have seen some brutal snow storms that I had to drive in.

    2016 Driver door window controls?

    Hey Peeps, looked in the manual and didn't find what I was looking for so I'm asking here. I have a 2016 GT AWD and I'm wondering about the controls on the driver side window switches. Is it normal not to be able to control the other windows, from the driver side, in the car when the lock out...

    Ceramic Coating - What's the catch?

    Id be very leary of anyone charging only $100-$200 for a full paint correction. Good work is rarely cheap and cheap work is rarely good. Depending on condition of the paint and how many stages I would need to correct it, Id charge $400-$600 for a full correction. I charge about $150-$200 for a...

    Ceramic Coating - What's the catch?

    Expect to pay close to $1000 or more for those. The cost is due to the labor needed to polish the paint to perfection before hand. Coatings hide nothing, unlike waxes. If theres swirls, marring, or scratches youll see it thru the coating. Probably a 2day process unless theres several people...

    Ceramic Coating - What's the catch?

    when I first bought my CX-5 the dealer "washed" my car for me before taking delivery, They used an old bucket and red shop rags to wash the car. I walked into the service area later Saturday afternoon and found them doing that. Being a detailer I just about lost it! the car was riddled with...

    Drivers seat leather gap between headrest bracket

    It may be that the back rest cushion has slid down a bit exposing that gap, or the pervious owner hung something off the back of the headrest forcing that gap to form. I get that a little bit because I have seat back protectors for my girls, so their shoes don't mar the seat backs. Just push the...

    Fixing a scratch

    Start with the least aggressive and work your way up until you happy with the results. Megs Ultimate polish is decent and pretty user friendly. If that doesn't do it step up to megs ultimate compound then finish back down with the polish. Are you using a machine or all by hand? Polishing pads...

    2016 CX-5 Bumper Cover Plate

    I have the same bumper guard that you linked to. I like it. If you do get it I would advise that you also get some 3M VHB tape and add some of that to the corners of the guard before install. I am having a bit of an issue with the corners picking up which causes interference with the lift gate...

    Wash the roof?

    You got to get it on sale! I bought mine during the black Friday sales event and it was $20-$30 if I remember correctly. There are other options out there but I liked this one cause it folds flat so I can hang it on a wall. I have a whole "detailing" wall that I hang all my equipment on...

    Wash the roof?

    I use one of these: https://gorillaladders.com/product/glwp-47p/ I picked it up a few years back on a homedepot black Friday sale for about $20-$30 if I remember correctly. I really like it as is folds flat and I can easily hang it on the wall. It's long enough where I can reach front to back...
