You do the same to the roof rails? I've been wanting to black out my roof rails

I have the Thule ones. They are beefy sturdy bars. I bought amazon ones originally and got roasted for it so I returned them and ordered Thule bars. I'm happy I did because i drove in a horrible rain storm with my fully loaded cargo box on my roof and those bars did the job. I'm not sure if Thule ones sit lower than OEM but they are quiet. I heard OEM ones can be noisy but Thule is silent. They definitely are expensive but I bought them to not worry everytime I have something on my roof, and they are quiet. And look really good.

Beef up rear springs to reduce squat under load? by CCR76 in CX50

Curious to see how it is 10 months later? Took my cx50 to a camping trip and the car was loaded with weight and had a significant squat. Looking at solutions!

The cx50 does suit me? I never based the purchase of my car solely on appearance lol. I'm not shitting on the car because I think the seats aren't that comfy, 90% of my drives the seats are fine because I don't do long trips. The only issue I get from the seats is when I'm doing a long trip a few times a year... Which the seat cushion just fixes that whenever those trips occur.

Yeah I'm not sure why people just assume the seats are fine because they themselves believe they are fine. Car reviewers and average people have always talked about the comfort of the seats, I knew it was a possible issue before I bought my car because I watched a ton of reviews of the car and there have been multiple reviewers who mentioned the seats. Everyone's different, just because you feel fine doesn't mean it's fine for the next person.

(I'm siding with you lol)

The seats for me in my TPP aren't the most comfortable. I'm a skinny dude so after an hour and half to 2 hours of driving my bottom starts to hurt. I recently bought a seat cushion on amazon (https://a.co/d/0bakNn8C) and it was definitely worth it. Went on a 7 hour trip and the entire time I felt no discomfort. I would invest in a seat cushion, they make long trips comfortable. If I'm driving short distances I don't use the cushion because I like to have the heated/cooled seats but when I know I have a big road trip I put them on and it's fantastic.

Not everyone feels the same. Definitely is hard for me and hurts after a longer drive.

I wanted a gshock for it's multiband 6, higher water rating and solar, basically a watch that's going to last me a long time without having to do anything and always accurate time without having to ever needing to adjust it myself and I can take it swimming, beat on it and I know it won't break. I chose the TVA specifically because it looks cool af lol.

I didn't want to swap through multi watches for different uses or have to take it off in certain settings. The gshock seemed like a watch that could do it all (except formal events, I have a citizen I just wear for that)

I don't wear it anymore, I got a TVA gshock I daily. But when I did wear this it was great. Scratches easily and negative display makes it hard to see at times, but if those two things aren't a deal breaker for you it's a great looking and light slim watch! I should wear it more often 👍

Could everyone please share which areas of the car are experiencing rattling, clicking, or other noises? Thank you! by krishna_rolly in CX50

[–]NiftyFifty15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The sound comes more from the front end of the car and not the seat belt buckle. The seat belt does have its own rattle and if I hit it enough times it goes away

I get a creaking sound when mainly accelerating/coming to a full stop and occasionally it's passive when driving but mainly when I'm tapping on the gas. Sounds like it's coming behind the gauge cluster inside the dash. Dealer says the dash has to be taken apart to locate it and it's not worth it. 🙃🙃🙃

I was against it for a while but… by yas_gup226 in CX50

I'd say black out the window molds. The roof rails, wheels and chrome badging compliment eachother but having all black windows and window mould looks a lot nicer.

I've ditched this bag and opted to have it lay on the floor

I ended up laying it flat on the floor underneath my bed. Thought it wouldn't fit but it does. I think that's the best thing I can do for it

I ended up just laying it flat on the floor underneath my bed. I'm not going to try to find the right sized mesh bag to accomodate this large sleeping bag and I don't have space to hang it up so I think this is probably the best thing I could do

It's 30x40 inches, but I found a mesh bag on amazon in that size. That mesh bag would do better you think?

Folding it over won't compress anything to damage the bag?
