Thank you. Yes, I agree with sensor misalignment, and I'll have Mazda check it out. I have been paying close attention to the left BSM, watching cars and motorcycles pass me and where the vehicles are when the light comes on, and it seems to be working the same as before the accident. But, it's...

Yes, no injuries to me, just my beloved CX-5, thanks for the concerns. It did get pushed maybe a foot. The semi was trying to squeeze in between me and a vehicle behind. I was not moving. Along with the visual damage, the steering wheel is slightly crooked, possibly indicating some alignment...

Got sideswiped by a semi, causing about $5000 in damages. Oddly, the left blind spot monitoring still works fine.

Many articles on Google that explains the reason, and here's an example link-http://www.popularmechanics.com/cars/how-to/a6613/torque-wrench-101-how-to-get-the-right-amount-of-force/ Basically, an impact gun can cause too much torque which can make it difficult to take a wheel off, and/ or...

I cleaned, alcohol prepped them, taped off all areas not to be painted, and sprayed them with 2 or 3 coats of Rustoleum high temperature black grill paint.

Post #11 and 14 shows I did what you asked. I would not recommend any paint on the mating surfaces. It only took about 30 minutes of prep and paint. Still no issues as of today, so I wouldn't worry about your purchase.

I've used the CRC brand exactly like the one you post, with good results also.

When you checked the calipers the last time, did you re grease the pins? If there was an abundant amount of silicone grease on the pins and the boots were tight against the ends it would have sealed the area for salt to get in. It was not the OEM Mazda calipers or design that was the problem...

I only recommend synthetic lube specifically made for high temperature brake usage. I have used Sil-Glyde for many years without fail. If you go to an auto store, they should have it, or similar on their counter.

If you do it, do it right and lube all the pins on each caliper.

I've been saying for 2 years. My post #19 of this thread shows my less than 1000 mile brakes didn't have much lube on it, or inside the caliper body pin holes. And the grease was a dry solid. It's very easy to add some Syl-Glide or silicone brake lube of choice to these pins. 24,000 miles later...

I see now. The liner covers half the pedal.

Did you break your aluminum dead pedal in two to fit the floor liner on? For mine, I just tapped the liner only with 2 screws and then velcro taped the dead pedal onto it, then I can lift both pedal and mat out at same time.

Don't waste your breath on keyboard mechanics and physicists Vroom. You keep posting on your real life experiences and experimentations, that's how we truly evolve, not by listening to people and (tainted) organizations who tell us what we can and can't do. I know of many LEOs and politicians...

Yes. Thank you

I did my Evil M and fog trims outside with no issues.

Areed. I'm either looking to powder coat the rails or remove them altogether!

Thanks man!

I'd be interested in that! [emoji106]🏽
