Just installed this Wiechers front strut bar this weekend, works well and built like a tank, tightened up the already great handling of the CX-5.

The first thing in my mind when I saw the pictures of this Wiechers front strut bar is do you need to remove the bar to replace the battery and to open the brake fluid reservoir cap?

I bought it off eBay, came direct from Germany.

Access to the brake fluid reservoir and battery are no problem.

Well, after hitting Bambi semi recently, I decided to replace my front emblem.

This is something I will do in the near future to my CX-5, thanks for sharing.
I got these but they should all be good. The attachment of the fender portion was poorly thought out but I made it work, Check Amazon, search CX-5 hood damper. This one took some finagling and tight finger work. Other sets include a method to hold the nut to get under the fender,

The bolt for the fender goes in that top hole, but with this set you need to find a wat to hold the nut in place after inserting it through that larger middle hole. If you look at Amazon you'll see pics on other sets that include a holding device/net release accessory.

I went the direct Chinese route with these:
aliexpress.com/item/32961456918.html
It took about 3 weeks to arrive and they work as expected.

Yeah it was all covered by the cover. Good thing I bought a cheap one from ebay. Repair came out to $2400 because the rear quarter panel got damaged too and it's connected all the way to the front.
