Ya, like brother joe said, maybe skytint is so weak that it can pass puspakom inspection tongue.gif

I tint 3M crystalline, front windscreen RM800. Hell and heaven biggrin.gif

3M can pass smarttag toll without the need to wind down the window or bring up the smarttag from the dashboard?

I plan to replace the front skytint too if its really that bad (will keep the sides & rear). Going to get my car soon i hope..

Looks like there will not be a CX-5 facelift/refresh in 2022, according to Pauline Tan's blog post titled, "Mazda CX-3 to be updated in Malaysia in January 2022 – MX-5, Mazda 3 and CX-30 in February; CX-8 in May". Good for those who just bought, but not good for me since I'm waiting for a FL before buying sad.gif

I checked with SA that day, he said fastest also end 2022. No point waiting for facelift imho. Then likely Gen3 will be end 2023 or early 2024. Do u still want to wait for facelift then ..

1) Check any scratch
2)steering rack got rust or not
3) remove the shit tint except for add another layer for rear
4) coating or PPF
5) mod audio if you are an audiophile
6) dash cam
I did all the above within 2 days I got mine.

agree with buffa. mine 3m crystalline series 99% cant pass.. it will required some maneuver like very slow and with windows wind down but not work everytime.. at the end i just wind down my windows n shows my everyone i got smart tag everyone i pass thru the gantry.

unless u want to cut a space where u gonna stick ur smart tag there. else either u get different brand like vkool or u get tng sticker instead. my friend using 3m had migrated to sticker

Thanks guys for the feedback. How abt applying another layer of skytint to the front windscreen? Will it be too dark or thick?

u mean mazda give u free skytint and you want to apply another same skytint outside to the front windscreen? What's the benefit of that?

Based on that i had tested from the skytint that was recently removed from my cx5.
the IRR is around 90+
the UV is around 50+
the VLT is around 70+
and its a safety film 6mil if not mistaken

I strongly do not recommend double tint with the reasons below:
1) In most of the cases, it will void both warranty.. the original tint and the new tint that was applied on top of original tint. You may check with the shop.
2) the risk of mistake during application. says u are going to double tint 4 side windows. if during application one of the window tint having prob and when they remove it the original tint was damage along the way.. now u left with 1 windows with single tint another 3 with double tint, are you ok with it?
3) Distortion.. when light pass thru the two tint that might make out of different material, the light may disperse or diffract. It may cause disturbance while you are driving.

Me personally will not recommend but i know a lot of ppl doing it. Even the tint shop i visited they apply double tint to make their car windows darker. So at the end is still your choice to make  icon_rolleyes.gif

No, i only plan changing the front windscreen skytint. Rest of windows will remain as skytint. U are right. I will likely just replace the front windscreen tint with another better brand instead of applying another layer.

Hi all cx5 owners, got my new cx5 2.0 high spec recently. Noticed 1 issue not sure is normal. Each time i used auto hold function, when i press fuel pedal to start moving, there is a slight jerk on the car. Is this normal? Otherwise the car is really quiet and no abnormal sound so far.

thats the rear brakes that are releasing..
so is normal .

to prove this, you release the auto hold by pressing down on the electronic brake button, you will hear a mechanical “nyeeeek” sound then you pedal away with no jerk.

I will try this, tq.

Hi guys, i was quoted rm1500 to do 3 layers ceramic coating under Raytech for cx5. Free 2 maintenance and warranty 3 years. Any comment on ceramic coating? As i dont drive too much in highway, decided not to go with ppf. Its also so much more expensive.

In cx5 fb group, there are many (more than 4 cases) of gb gone right after hit >100k km, but within 5 years period. All 4 get new gb under warranty, courtesy of Bermaz/Mazda Japan.  That is why they should do the same for that case on his engine, he still within the 5 years warranty but hit >100k km.

Inb4, all manufacturers should give unlimited mileage warranty. Others already done it. For GB, better service it and change the atf after certain mileage due to capped mileage warranty. Seal for life is not working.
