Try taking a razor blade and scrapping it end to end (one smooth motion, back and forth). Many times the wiper blade tips are just stuck with dirty build up and scraping it will help clear it out.
What have you done to your Mazda5 today?

Might be spent some time outdoors at the dealer before the sale? My 06 ones lasted 3 years or so. Try cleaning them gently with a wipe and Windex, sometimes they are just filthy

Vacuumed and wiped up the interior of the 5 today. Put in the winter mats, a little late.
Didnt bother with the outside.
And here is the new addition courtesy of some parking lot admirer.

you should have seen it in my old Matrix. The 5 has way more room!

That baby seat will be facing forward very very shortly.
My daughter wanted it for her mazda3. So I took this last video of the soundracer in action lol.

actually, the baby seat fits well. the picture may be deceiving since i have the drivers seat all the way back since i am 6'0'' tall. (also, the baby seat is a large brittax) i wish it could go back further. now my protege5, well, i have to have the baby seat in the passenger side. i also bought a seat with a shorter back for that one.
yes it will. the little one is 14 months and over 20 lbs now. i could change it any day, but it is safer to be rear facing.
Its a 2 part problem with the rear facing seats. First off, it's a compromise to have one seat that can face either way. The angle needed to be rear facing is way out of wack with the amount of space available in ANY non minivan. Problem 2 is, I believe, that the seats are intended to be mounted in the middle seat which does not exist on the 5. This would make the seat extend between the front seats but this option is not possible for us. I did a ton of research before buying the seat we have and there is as much as a 8" difference in length from seat to seat!
Its not the physical size that matters. Its the angle it needs to sit at to level the seat properly. The Britax, although large, has a separate swivel base that allows the angle to be right without adding length. The old seat I had needed a 6" high spacer under the front of the seat to sit "level" when rear facing. Imagine how much more room it needed when you tilted it back that far. Not to mention, the deeper the dent in the seat cushion, the more of a spacer you needed!
