its kick ass....I just saw that on the other board YESTERDAY.....and I would LOVE to do that change.....but I am almost afraid to call the dealer and find out how much that stalk cost....

for the simple reason is it will cost me TWICE as much....as there is NO WAY I can do THAT mod to my P-5 and not the WIFES TOO!!! LOL

 

[BadDSM]

Someone posted that it cost them $70 from MazdaStuff.

 

[ZG77_OzZ]

70 Bucks.

Cool

 

[low_psi]

grr, if only i could get one for cheaper...my lil bare ass MX3 RS had them..

 

[BadDSM]

Cheaper you say?
Go to a wrecking yard and find a 99+ MPV.
You could probably offer $20 bucks for it.

 

[freekwonder]

damn, anybody have a hook up on Euro Parts. I wonder why the MPV one works for the P5 and not the sedan. must be the rear window wiper. I wonder if the North Amercian 626 stalk would work.

I heard that you can get the valve stems and the ash tray from the 99+ MPV also. Can this be true?!?!? If so I cant wait to do that mod!(loser) (thumb)

Actually the Ashtrays are different and it would not work!

Some folks may/will find it useful.

Come on guys, I was kidding. I thought it was funny.

 

[Sir Nuke]

I did the mod...it works GREAT!!! I LOVE IT.....and for those of you with Sedans.....

I talked with Richard at MAZDASTUFF.COM and he was very interested....he is adding the MPV stalk to the website and it use...I told him about the european stalk for the sedans and he is looking into a source for them so he can add that part as well.....if you have a sedan...and are interested....give Richard a call at mazdastuff.com and see how he is coming along or if he has an update on getting the parts for you sedan drivers.

Sweet! I will give them a call. That is the same dealership I bought my MP3 from.

it'll be great if they can work that out and provide the Euro 626 stalks for the sedans.

i'm not in europe!

 

[03P5INVA]

I see the stalk on mazdastuff.com for the 2003 MPV ($79.00), and just want to make sure it will work. I see the mention of 99+ MPV, but just want to double check and make sure the '03 MPV will work for the upgrade to my '03P5. I'm a new member, and love the forum; this is my first post!

 

[Kooldino]

Ok, I'm too lazy to reread all this stuff...but how much/how hard will it be to put these on an mp3?

 

[ZoomZoomH]

03P5INVA, yes the 2003 MPV wiper stalk will fit right into the P5. Follow the link in the first post for how-to's

for MP3, you will need to find the wiper stalk from the EUROPEAN 626, US 626 stalk WILL NOT WORK.
