    2017~2025 2017 CX-5 Third Brake Light Replacement

    I have a 2017 Mazda CX-5 that needs it's 3rd brake light replaced (stupid me backed out of the garage a LITTLE too quickly before the door was all the way up...doh). I have the part and intended on fixing it myself, but after further review, I don't think my skills are sufficient for taking off...

    Apple Carplay - and other questions as a (slightly frustrated) CX-5 newbie owner...

    Hey all, I'm brand new to the forum here. I just bought a 2018 CX-5 Grand Touring. I'm digging it so far (driving-wise), but do have some slight frustrations with it and wondering if it's all user error - or if anyone has some advice. Before I get into that, I'd like to ask about Carplay...

    Programmable Liftgate?

    Hi All, I read that the power liftgate (2018 cx 9 touring) is programmable. Any idea how to program the height? Mine doesnt open all the way and being as tall as I am I have to push it up an extra couple inches every time I open it. Thanks for the help!

    Cargo Area Cover with Power Liftgate- has anybody found one?

    One of the few things that I don't like about my CX-9 is the lack of a cover for the cargo area. Everything that won't fit in the bin under the rear floor panel or under a seat is exposed for anyone to see! Mazda has a Cargo Cover as an Accessory, but it is NOT for models with the Power...

    Liftgate Garnish Problem

    Some rude person backed into my 08 CX-9 and broke the trim piece over the back license plate (I'm told it is called the lift gate garnish). As a result, it is loose on the right side, which houses the keyless entry button and one of the license plate lights. I would like to see if it can be...

    Liftgate Will Not Lock in Cold Weather

    I have had my 2015 Mazda CX-5 in for service on four occasions, including replacing the latch on the lift gate because in cold weather (below -20C) when closing the lift gate, it does not lock. The service department says that there have been 20-30 other CX-5's in for the same issue. Service...

    How to install LEDs in cargo area

    Hi everyone, New to this so here goes. The lighting in the cargo area is poor at best. The little "switch on" light is the same as I had in my 1989 323!!!. I'd like to install a LED strip, either on the Inside of the liftgate or the Inside of the roof (more probable). Here is my question...

    So I have a question about something that's been driving me crazy since I bought my CX-5 Touring 3 weeks ago, that I love by the way :) ...Well, to start there are a few things that aren't quite right that I need to talk to the dealer about so I'm making a list and potentially one of those...

    OMG have you priced the hatch struts on a Mazda5?!

    So the passenger's side hatch strut on my '08 has been making moaning sounds since we bought it. Yesterday it finally blew out with a hiss and is totally dead. Unfortunately it just passed 40K and was at 37K when we bought the van. I stopped by the dealer to check the price and those struts...
