Just get one from the junkyard.I'm in the same boat currently and am at the same crossroads. OEM is $150 ish and aftermarket from Amazon/EBay are $30-50. Just not sure what the differences are that justify 3 times the price except for it being a 'mazda' part. Anyone with any insight?
Thanks
Depends. Some parts dont changes. assuming the cx9 had 2 generations like the cx5...Maybe you can find one from a later model gen 1 or even a newer one from a gen 2.A used one would potentially have the same issue, wouldn’t it?
