- 2019 CX-5 Signature
Some of the plastic trim rivets likely fell out and the panel is loose. Just grab some new ones and re-attach. You can get them online or your dealer may even hand you a couple if you ask.
I feel like I am cursed with this car. I had a flat tire last week, now I have panels falling off. Could the tire shop have damaged the rivets? The flat tire repair was on the other side of the car - passenger rear side.
When you had a flat, did you use the spare tire? I saw someone in the CX-5 facebook group complaining the 16" spare supplied doesn't work with the turbo models, and showing a video of said scraping. Apparently, it just barely scrapes with the slightly larger brakes. I've already sourced an upgraded larger diameter spare from LKQ which better matches the size of my 17 inch wheels than the standard donut.
You're not supposed to put donuts on the front anyways
