    Thanks! I didn't disassemble it, I just masked it off carefully and then used PlastiDip.

    Liftgate "left open" beeping -any way to silence?

    I've only done it twice, but will probably have to do it again. I'll give that a try, as those were 2 of the most annoying drives I've ever had lol.

    That doesn't work. At least it didn't for me.

    Front Grill Black-out - How to remove?

    I used plastidip with glossifier for the front because the contours of the grill would have been way beyond my abilities to wrap.

    Yes, took the door panel off. It's the only way to get to the switch panel. The door panel was simple to take off, there are 2 screws and the rest are clips, and unhook the power cable for the switches. The switch panel took a bit to remove since I was trying to be careful and didn't know...

    Protecting the CX-5's shiny interior trim

    Probably just the lighting. If the photo go too dark, it didn't show any of the texture. It is a lot darker than the stock wood piece, but I think it looks really good.

    Protecting the CX-5's shiny interior trim

    I took everything apart so the wrap goes underneath everything. It's not perfect, but turned out good enough for me. Used an Xacto and a heat gun, and watched a few videos on youtube about how to apply wraps.

    What have you done to your CX-5 today?

    Mine wasn't too bad yet, but with kids and a dog I could see it getting worse. The window switch panel showed more wear than the center console. Cleaned with a microfiber cloth.

    Wrapped the piano black pieces in the car. Still have a few more to do, but happy to not have to worry about the pieces getting scratched and showing everything. And need an interior detail after looking at the pics.

    2017~2024 So annoying...

    I've had something like that happen. Won't play through the interface on the car. Usually seems to happen when I have played something like a video or something else on the phone before I get into the car, something that uses the phones audio that the car doesn't recognize. It doesn't just...

    Off Topic I thought it was a joke when I first heard. It's not. I present the Rolls Royce SUV
