    2014 CX-5 Interior Rust

    Mine has some surface rust under the passenger seat and specks of rust on the base plate/hinge of the back seat (2016 GT). I also just found a little corrosion on the bolt to the passenger seat (if you look straight down the right side of the center console). I was alarmed at first, but there...

    Steering wheel peeling in 2016

    Dammit...just noticed mine starting to peel this evening - feels like a small nick right at 12 o'clock on the wheel that is similar to the pic jhui8 posted. It was too dark to snap a good photo, but I can clearly see a surface blemish using the flashlight on my phone. I applied a bit of leather...

    2017 CX-5 Seating position / posture

    '16 GT and after almost two years of ownership I am reconciled to the fact I will never achieve full comfort. I think my driving position is as good as it gets - for me it is the padding (or lack thereof). I like almost everything else about the car...I drive ~7,500 miles/year; it will likely be...

    Dealer insisted on giving me a GT even though I purchased the Touring

    Interesting scenario. Simply put, honesty is the best policy.

    Carplay and Android Auto coming soon? Crossing fingers...

    I was given a Ford Explorer w/CarPlay for a business road trip and really liked the interface. It clearly isn't a necessity for me, but definitely something I would enjoy. As an aside, the Explorer was loaded with almost every option available. Despite having all sorts of creature comforts, I...

    PDR or Collision Shop?

    Thanks - nice job. I'm certainly no repair expert, but it seems to me that there could be more PDR work done on my car. Trying to figure out if/how I push the subject w/my tech.

    PDR or Collision Shop?

    Fully fixed? No distortion, wave, or ripple? Funny thing about mine is that I see it, but it isn't as apparent as when snapping a pic on my phone.

    PDR or Collision Shop?

    I know - there was fair warning from the forum re: cost...I'm not crying in my milk over that. He didn't do anything to dissuade me from hiring him whereas the second opinion left me thinking he wouldn't care for my car the same way I do. The second opinion also wanted to drill a hole - Dan did...

    PDR or Collision Shop?

    I'm not upset w/Dan - I am however questioning my decision to fit in the repair while I was away on business travel as opposed to waiting until June for his next open appointment. It leaves me wondering if I afforded him the necessary time to repair and if I should push to bring it back in...

    PDR or Collision Shop?

    My guy said exactly the same - too much metal to do anything more. I figure to be gentler with detailing that area.
