QUOTE(Duckies @ Jul 24 2018, 10:54 AM) QUOTE(voncrane @ Jul 24 2018, 10:57 AM) I got this.. Works fine for me.. Privacy and sun blocking.. Mine, all but the rear is a perfect fit, can see a slight gap at the top, center... I don't mind though as it still does the job and there's also the added cover at the back. If any issues at say roadblock? It's magnetic.. Just remove. Feels sturdy, never tried folding it as no need to. Best shades would be the ones from Groovy. thanks for the inputs QUOTE(voncrane @ Jul 24 2018, 12:09 PM) yeah, us here always kena short-changed. almost like just giving you bare essentials |

QUOTE(nebula87 @ Jul 24 2018, 01:55 PM) Wonder why Ninja shades cost so much...I mean i bought no brand magnetic shades from accessories for my Saga BLM, and it also perfectly fit..(just that the 3M dont stick onto my rubber frame, keep failing off) ninja shade still need 3m hook? i thought its magnetic, just stick to the window frame?Ok...Got it from youtube...btw, it bends as well..!! but sadly, my gf said shades are pulling down the standard of the car.. haha |

Sorry that i need to ask again. I really dont know what to choose. Anyone of you here can share which type of mats you are using? Or stick back with the stock type? Thanks guys... i think i'll just use the stock mat. if not mistake mazda give coil mats as stock right, even in the boot? |

QUOTE(voncrane @ Jul 24 2018, 11:40 PM) I'm sticking with stock mats for now. Will probably get the rubber cargo tray mat for the boot later on. See how they all fare for now. Plenty of custom mats options for replacement, if stock isn't to your liking. regarding the rubber cargo tray. been using one in my current car but cant help but feel that it gives off a smell after having the car in the sun all these while. You are welcome.. Only the front driver's and passenger's look like this, cuz need unobstructed views of both side-mirrors and around the A pillars for going around bends, etc. 2nd row & rear windows are fully covered. Cuz it's magnetic, it sticks in front of the window panes (on the inside), as such, does not hinder windows going up or down and won't fall outside. Yep.. Coil mats everywhere. like it's not outright smelly like some of the cheap recycled rubber car mats but still |

QUOTE(voncrane @ Jul 25 2018, 09:35 AM) Only you can decide if it's worth it.. Pocket okay and feels better? Sure, go ahead. My advice first is to use stock and if die die can't tahan, then swap with Trapo. Your comfort is priority. Just make sure it doesn't hinder brake pressing or overly encourage the throttle. Got people get into accidents cuz of improper mats. Stock mats are held down and won't suddenly budge, there's hooks and all. im using trapo on my current car also. have to make sure the cutting is cun. if not might slide around. i bought the universal type and cut to my own liking but sometimes if the position is off, will hinder accelerator pedal abit. i think if buy the precut kind will be better. Oh I see.. How long have you been using it? Could be it needs sometime to release all those nasties then it'll be alright? I've had a leather steering wheel cover do the same. Took about a month or so for that strong pseudo leather smell to leave it.. Then all good. Of course, not healthy.. for my boot tray, been using it for >5 years. still there's abit of a lingering plastic smell on hot days. but no boot tray, i guess there are many other plastics parts in the car also. although quality maybe better than boot tray plastics lah. |

QUOTE(ze2 @ Aug 1 2018, 03:58 PM) Another thing I disliked no lock and unlock doors button...... yeah I know it will be locked automatically when you start driving. as far as i know, cx-5 dont have dedicated button at driver's side to do central door lock/unlock right? This morning, my son was trying to get off the car from the rear, and I have trouble locating the lock and unlock button. have to use the "latch" next to the door handle always wanted a central lock button to ease locking and unlocking doors from the inside. instead of pulling on a latch... |

QUOTE(voncrane @ Aug 3 2018, 12:15 AM) Not necessarily.. Of course, if willing to splurge, use RON97, no less. It's better for the engine longterm. Else, RON95 is perfectly acceptable. Mine's diesel, so far, been pumping only Petronas Euro 5. Only plan to use Euro 5. only the 2.2D multi info meter display can choose what to display (fuel consumption, engine temp etc.) is it? Nah.. It should gradually ramp up to 100 and hover there. The temp guage is my default screen, cuz I'd like to keep an eye on it. Incase random overheating. and petrol variant's standard display is locked at temp display for the top section? |

QUOTE(voncrane @ Aug 3 2018, 10:01 AM) I'm unsure. But according to the manual, the petrol variants don't have the Multi-information Display. But have an Engine Coolant Temperature Guage that shows the information.. Owners can confirm this? i think only multi-info display able to change around. standard petrol display is fixed except ODO, Trip display selectionTry mudah and the FB group. Higher chance to find someone who swapped out. How much is Mazda's price? QUOTE(Strik3 @ Aug 3 2018, 10:21 AM) 1.5k a pair or one side? |

QUOTE(voncrane @ Aug 8 2018, 01:04 PM) Best I share my DIY stuff in here versus PMs.. Others can benefit.. Remember, It's an CSUV (not low height sedan), so taller is good or get a stool to reach every inch of applicable surface on the roof too. Thx for sharing bro. Tools used.. *Common Sense (can't stress this enough.. Watch youtube videos first and READ the instructions on the products. Do NOT use on parts they do not explicitly state it can be used for.. Find another product that does...) *Short stool.. I'm tall, but used it to gain more leverage during initial protection application.. Normal washing, no need.. arm's can reach and I don't mind regular car shampoo touching my shirt and shorts.. The other stuffs are more concentrated and high chance unsafe. *Good hand gloves.. Ideally Nitrile .. But Latex is alright I guess. Get Nitrile if willing to splurge. *Meguiar's foam application pads. I've tried both foam and microfiber cloth pads and prefer the foam ones. *Good Microfiber cloths.. I got the lengthy ones from Mr. DIY store.. Makes wiping off easier in one go.. Get at least 3 for just the initial application and be prepared to throw them away. Sure, you can wash em for resues.. but after the first prep, i didn't trust em to get rid of the stronger chemicals and used fresh ones onwards. Products used.. *Turtle Wax Luxe Leather Cleaner & Conditioner T363 (For the interior) *3M Car body Contaminant remover Clay Bar... (Claying is truly a pain.. Make sure to use some light lube .. NOT plain water.. no good and you'll scratch your paint..).. Have to be soft and firm at the same time.. so you remove the contaminants, but not the clear coat on top and or leave weird scratches on your car.. This stage to me was where i had to be the most careful. Skip this if you aren't comfortable ruining that new car look over possibly just a few rough spots.. *Meguiar's G36516 Paint Protect.. This is a sealant and to be applied before any form of waxing. Some just do this and stop.. It's okay if you must.. *Rain-X water repellent for glass. *Turtle Wax Super Hard Shell Car Wax Paste T-223R *Magic Clean Putty Dust Cleaner .. Jelly-like substance, good for picking up those pesky dirts in the cup holder and similar places .. like stitching on seats .. *MAGIC101 Platinum Nano-Clean Wash & Wax... Shampoo *Waxco tyre shine...or for cheaper (works well), can get "Kilat CarCare Eco Auto Multishine"... Dirt cheap at Mr. DIY store and lasts at least 3 weeks per application and beads water off the tyres too. Steps.. roughly.. 1. Best done fresh after car picked up.. Less contaminants on paint.. Allocate about a week and do not get the car rained on until process is complete for best results. Trick for mine was, I had a trip and could afford to fix up the car and park in covered car park to cure till my return. Grab to airport. 2. Wash car thoroughly.. 3. Wipe down dry.. then lube up whilst clay-baring the whole car.. Paint only.. leave the plastics.. Stop using the side of the bar once you notice there's a drag on it from the dirt and stuff it's picked up. Fold in and knead a fresh side. 4. Wash the car again .. lightly.. But dry it properly this time around.. Do NOT leave even a single drop on the surfaces. 5. Using applicator pads, apply the Paint Protect solution. This can be used on all exterior paints, plastic, metal and chrome. i wiped the whole exterior down, even wipers and till date, zero side effects or discoloration. 6. Apply Rain-X on both windscreens, wiper blades, side windows and mirrors. This also makes for a smooth silent wiping.. For when you have to use the wipers. Most rainy days and at optimum speed, the water just beads right off.. No wipers needed. Didn't dare apply on the headlamps.. I think there's another product for that.. Not sure if it's plastic or glass.. 7. Important.. Park the car away from the elements for at least 24 hours.. i left mine for a week.. This allows the chemical to work its way in and bond sufficiently with the car's paint and other parts.. The above done well will give crazy water beading effects already and can stop here.. but advised to continue for longer lasting results.. 8. Separate day... Wash and dry the car properly.. 9. Gently apply and buff off the Paste wax.. Be careful with this one and do not get it on the black plastics of chrome.. have a clean cloth at the ready to wipe off (using a finger) the excess wax touching non-paint areas. This is important as if you leave it on, it'll cake on the part and leave white streaks that will be hard to remove later on. 10. Do all the above on a cool clean car and away from direct sunlight. Remember, it's buff lightly till off and NOT scrub it off.. We aren't talking about washing toilets here.. 11. Leave this to cure for another 24 hours, away from the elements.. and you should be good to go.. Can wash with regular wash only or wash & wax shampoo products. Nothing to harsh, else, with every wash, it'll simply be undoing your hard work. 12. Vroom Vroom.. You are DIY protected.. Hope these helps some.. Just want to check with you on Rain-X application on windscreen. I had bad experience before on my old car. After apply, the wipers judders when wiping. Worst thing was very hard/impossible to remove rain-x coating. Went online to read, got mixed reviews from users. Some say no problem, but got a handful also face wiper judder problem. So now dunno whether to apply rain-x coating or even use the wiper washer fluid additive |
