What have you done to your CX-5 today?

[N7turbo]

I attempted to wash the car today as it was 40° the last couple of days, and it reached 50° yesterday.

However, before I could do the contact wash, I noticed water running out of the garage and heard water splashing sounds coming from near the hose bib. I quickly rinsed off the car and pulled it inside, planning to just finish with a rinseless wash. Then I opened the door to the house.

The first floor had about 1/8" to 1/4" of standing water on the floor.

I sucked up as much as I could with the shop vac while swearing like a sailor.

I later did the rinseless wash but still have a few water spots to remove.

Yikes!!!!!

What's the source of the water? Frozen pipe thaw out?

Has to be a leaking or broken pipe. Not looking forward to finding out, but the water has stopped. I'm just not going to use it for a few months.

Anybody have any experience cleaning the headliner? Picked up a 2016 GS a few months ago and the white/beige headliner is absolutely filthy, it seems extremely difficult to remove some of the stains and I've read horror stories about cleaning too much that the adhesive comes undone and it sags.

Any tips/tricks?

Maybe you should just replace it?^^^
I had a 2013 that I got a mark on and never was able to get it off.

Most of the stains in my headliner came out in a few wipes with a clean, damp microfiber. For more serious stains, I would try lightly spraying with a soapy water solution, then agitating with a soft bristled brush. and finishing with something like a Bissel LittleGreen vacuum to pull out the water. I haven't actually tried this before because again, the stains I've dealt with are minor. If you do this, try it on an inconspicuous area first to make sure you don't cause any damage.

Magic Erasers are also good for cleaning light-colored headliners and sunshades. Worth trying.

Re-ordered the cool premium floor liners from Scarborough Mazda. They are back in stock, hurry up!

Had some new wheels installed yesterday. Factory diameter, but in 8.5. May be lowering it next month. I have the corksport springs but still on the fence about if I want go through with it.

Winter is coming so put some appropriate shoes on.

Just upgraded my CX-5 with these sleek Grey Maxx Car Mats! They add a premium touch to the interior while keeping it clean and protected. Loving the fit and style! What do you think?

That interior looks spotless and the floor liners look like a good fit. I don't think I like the light color though.

I don't care for the color or the 'quilted' look, sorry bro.

Looks like they have great coverage though, does it cover the dead pedal?

Yeah, I'm not feeling it either. To each their own. I'll stick with my OEM Canadian floor liners.

Are your front inside pillars white also? Picture maybe fooling me.

 

[CycleChris]

Added brake, turn and running lights in bumper, soldered on the wire harness behind the side panels in the cargo. I like lighting .

 

[Koko_Bandit]

I am thinking I could 3D print something out of TPU to cover the dead pedal. I'm just not sure how to attach it. Any ideas, or has someone done this already?

 

[N7turbo]

Velcro if you want it to be temporary. Spray adhesive if you want it to be semi-permanent.

Replaced both license plate light bulbs. Mazda really went out of their way to make that small job difficult. Didn't see the type of bulb listed anywhere in the owner's manual but the lighting book at the parts store took care of that. FYI, it's 2825.
