Hood deflector for MS6?

[trees]

could you get a part #?

 

[ottawaP5]

yeah, I'll be getting this asap. Winter is coming, and they use sand on the roads here rather then salt.

So just in time!

Up north where I'm from there are so many rocks flying around everywhere that almost everyone has these on their cars.

If the dealership tells you it doesn't exist let me know I'll call the dealership in my hometown and get you the part #

I called the dealer this morning, they are trying to find the part number. If it isn't outrageously $$$ I'll get one. I'll take pics and add them here when I get it.

 

[Newf]

yeah I need a part number. can't seem to find it on their machines. I'd say it's too new yet. Maybe a 07 listing?

 

[ottawaP5]

I called the dealer where I bought my car and they told me the part didn't exist. I then made a long distance call to the dealership back home, they told me that it did exist and was indeed a genuine mazda part, but the parts guy was gone for the day. They told me that they would get me the part number and price for tomorrow.

 

[ottawaP5]

They just called me back...part # is 0000860M6A10

They are selling them for $109.95 just to give you a reference.

 

[Newf]

wow, thanks man.

 

[ottawaP5]

no problem, I want one as well as I've noticed my hood is full of rock chips. I'll take it off during the summer.

 

[Newf]

I wonder if one of the guys here can source them for a better price?

 

[Newf]

part # is 0000860M6A10

This comes up as a regular MAzda 6 deflector according to my dealer

I'm wondering if it fits anyways? I mean, the hood is different yes, but the very edge of the hood where this would go isn't that much different when you compare them.

 

[ottawaP5]

Thats wierd, they told me the regular 6 deflector was 0000860M6A01

Maybe you can ask for that part and see if the MS6 defector comes up? I doubt the regular 6 deflector would fit though.

I'm going to call the dealer here this morning and run those 2 part numbers by them to see what they get.

 

[ottawaP5]

Called the dealer...they told me that it's the regular 6 bug deflector that is installed on their MS6 and it was a perfect fit (I saw it myself). You can go ahead and order that.

 

[Newf]

i got one. Let me eat supper, and I'll post pics!

quick pic

Is it a perfect fit? Nope. The hood bulge makes it a tight fit in the middle. Luckily the plastic has some give in it. Once it is on right though it seems ok. I'm hoping it still has enough flex in it for bumps and change in temps so it doesn't crack. I might be over thinking this a little.

Tip: Clean hood before installing. And put small towel or cloth over center of hood ( on the bulge) because until you put the rubber bumpers under neath it to hold up the center, it will touch and possibly scratch hood.

 

[ottawaP5]

Looks pretty good. I'm sure it will hold up fine.

 

[Newf]

Yeah it should be fine. It'll help through the winter that is for sure.

Thanks for the info, I waxed my car today, and found a small chip right where the deflector would sit. Has anyone considered purchasing the deflector from the local Automotive stores, probably be a fraction of the cost since the regular 6 will fit. Either way I need to get one fast. Also looks pretty sharp in the pictures. Thanks

 

[Newf]

I paid $75 for mine Canadian

 

[Garyb4000]

Well small problem our Canadian brothers only get the bug deflector. You cant get the bug deflector from Mazda in the US. I went to the Canadian Mazda site, just have to find time during the day to call around and find out if someone ships to the US.
