    parts diagram and/or website to order 16 CX5

    Colonial Mazda is the worst.. Think Comcast for Mazda, everything is a switch-a-roo and the Customer Service stinks. I purposefully bought our 2 Mazda's from another regional dealer and go there for service too.

    parts diagram and/or website to order 16 CX5

    Odd request, I'm looking for a parts diagram with p/n and/or website to order misc parts. Specifically the little inserts for the 2 front door interior handles and the bolt cover for the rear wiper. Our CX5 and 3HB both need the door handle things.

    2018 vs 2016

    Found out today from the Collision shop, they are able to reuse the existing door windows, I had all 4 doors and hatch tinted with ceramic tint not 5 days before the accident. That will save me some effort, time and money than having to re-tint the 2 new doors.
