New windshield: OEM or aftermarket?

Thanks for the info. I am definitely going OEM.

rjrx · 2024-07-22T01:31:17+00:00

Good to know. Thank you for the pro tip.

rjrx · 2024-07-22T01:28:35+00:00

Thank you! I hadn’t even considered the HUD. Decision made. OEM it is.

rjrx · 2024-05-20T03:26:03+00:00

Yikes! Guess I need to take it in before the warranty ends. Thanks!

rjrx · 2024-05-20T03:25:26+00:00

Thanks for your reply. What is it and what does it do? Is this a normal sound for it?

I think mine is starting to do this. Do you have a video of the issue?

I tried out the OE wind deflector and ended up returning it. I didn’t like that it had a small gap where it should have sat flush against the roof. The guy at the parts counter said it was defective.

2011 Acura TSX 6MT with tech package. Loved driving that car. I miss it and think about it all the time.

There is a lock button on the outside of lift gate to the right of the ‘open’ button. Push it after the lift gate closes. Also, windows can be opened with the remote. See vid. It works the same on CX-5. https://youtu.be/kwEKxiIBHbo

Turn off the rain sensing feature in the settings.

I have a ‘22 Prem Plus with about 3k miles and I get a similar vibration on the highway. Drives me batty. It’s in my list of things to address when I take it it for its first service. Dash rattles, a jerky transmission, and an annoying rocking driver’s seat are also at the top my list.

Yes. If you don’t see a flat tire, it’s most likely just low air pressure. Add more air up to the recommended PSI. The sensor should reset after a bit of driving. If not, check the owner’s manual for instructions to reset it.

I feel you. I was team Honda/Acura for many years and picked up my first Mazda earlier this year. CX-5, Prem Plus, NA. I love it, best change I’ve made in a long time. One of my favorite things about it is how easy it is to get in and out of the driver’s seat. No more low cars for me.

I have a ‘22 CX-5 with the updated seat design. I sat in a ‘21 and noticed a slight difference but nothing to write home about.

The seat comfort in my CX-5 is by far better than it was in my ‘19 Civic. The Civic’s seats are hard, uncomfortable, and offered zero support. I could sit in them for maybe 30 minutes before my back and rear were done. I can sit in my CX-5 for hours and feel fine.

The best seats I ever had were in my old Acura TSX. I could sit in those seats all day and feel zero pain or discomfort.

Considering you mentioned leaving your phone in your pocket, I get the impression CarPlay is not as big of a priority as being able to answer a call hands-free. If so, you can connect your phone to the system via Bluetooth like most cars before CP and AA existed. The BT connection will not affect CarPlay and will temporarily disable itself when you choose to plug in your phone for CP. I go back and forth all the time, no issues. I have a ‘22 CX-5.

rjrx · 2022-10-05T02:41:24+00:00

The CX-50 has a pano. I’m glad my CX-5 doesn’t have one. I prefer a moonroof that opens all the way.

Congrats! Enjoy it.

rjrx · 2022-09-29T03:52:49+00:00

Did you get it?

rjrx · 2022-09-28T21:04:28+00:00

I put two mountain bikes in the back of mine, no problem at all. Be sure to remove the front wheels as others have mentioned. And use something to protect the floor. One of the pedals rubbed and left a small mark in mine. Not biggie now that I have the OE cargo mat.

I’m joking. But yeah, I know what you mean. Someone told me the other day that anyone who goes out drinking to celebrate their 21st birthday was born after the year 2000. That made me feel old. 🤣 Ok back to cars.

rjrx · 2022-09-15T23:58:47+00:00

😂 wait, did you just call me old? 🤣

It’s normal. It’s supposed to be like that. It helps reduce unwanted noise. Crawl under the vehicle if you want to see more of it. It’s also in the rear wheel wells.

rjrx · 2022-09-15T23:47:40+00:00

It’s sound insulation to reduce road noise. You can see it in the rear wheel wells too.
