- 2018 Mazda CX-5 Sport
Calling all CX-5 gurus, need some help. My 2018 Sport is making a noise since purchased new couple months ago. Would notice a light clunk noise up high near the center speaker grill when taking a right hand turn entering the freeway on commute to work. At first I thought it was my flashlight in the glove box but eventually ended up pulling everything out of the box, then removed the box, noise still there. I pulled the cabin filter out to have a look but nothing abnormal seen. The noise can be heard at far right side of dash when turning left and just right of center when turning left. I can't hear much of a sliding, just a final thunk as though maybe a heavy coin or small wrench moving side to side? No noise when accelerating or braking. I have a borescope with 9mm camera and 3 ft cable, already pulled the front grill off and checked the HVAC ducts but nothing in there. I had high hopes for the defrost duct, pulled the right side A pillar cover off and checked it all the way back to center but it's clean. Tried pulling the center speaker cover to have a look but seems like it's held in place pretty well and don't want to bust clips. Another theory is pull the cowl cover on the outside but it sure sounds like it's right under the top of dash. I'm avoiding taking it to the dealer and have them pull the dash apart but running out of ideas. It's really annoying now I know it's there..
