That blows! When I exchanged e-mails with the company, I specifically asked about the instructions and they said they were included in the package. You might want to reach out to them to see if they can send you an electronic copy via e-mail. They did say that everything goes into pre-drilled/existing holes...

Wow! With all that you went through, I think they look pretty damn good! Did any of the holes line up at all? Did you have to do any drilling?
Congrats!
Side steps.....finally it's on
Thanx...no drilling required at all..holes does lines up good, the only tough part is the rear car existing hole to put what they called is T-shape screw in...I use pretty thick steel wire tied to the screw and pushed it in thru bigger hole and came out thru smaller hole where u attach to the bracket...other than that it was pretty easy process...I don't understand what's wrong with auto mechanic...he suggested me it's not lining up and told me to sell it on eBay....so, I just stop by his shop and he was pretty impressed with my handy work....guess I don't have to sell it on eBay.....
where did you get the door sill protectors.....
I have seen those on eBay. Just search for "CX-5 sill". I think they run about $30 a set delivered.

those running boards look nice and a clean look too. do you find them sturdy enough to stand on -like during washing the roof of vehicle or maybe adjusting a roof rack?
Running board
Yuup,,they were very sturdy,just tried this morning while car wash....seller mentioned capacity to 500Lbs ..so, it works for me....
I guess the problem could be that he's a mechanic and not an auto body repair man which is why he was having problems.
auto body
I mean to say..he was auto body service personal...where they sell fancy wheels and tires,stereos and etc.....

Looks great. What wind/rain deflectors do you have? Where did you purchase?
Yes, fitted some about a year ago, Mazda UK used to sell them as an accessory but no longer. There are loads of aftermarket ones on the net but many foul the jacking points whereas these don't.
I'd post photos but can't work out how to do that...
Hey guys, as Tsedhun69, knows it took me 3 years for me to find someone to put on my running boards from winsomechina, since I am not handy at all when it comes to cars. If you are NOT going to do it yourself, here is my suggestion. Find a Custom Car shop to put them on. I went to several body shops, mechanics and no one would touch them since there are no instructions on installation and they are made in China. When I found this guy who customizes cars, he had no problems installing them using all the right tools and a lift; and only took 1 1/2 hours. They are on firm, tight and look great. I am totally pleased with them, although I would have like to had them installed sooner it was worth the wait.
