Great video thanks. I’m really having a problem getting that blue fastener on the out. My hands aren’t the strongest I guess. I’ll keep trying. Thanks again.
Your car looks amazing.
I have a question.
I just got 2022 mazda cx 5 and I noticed that my car has a noise while pressing gas padal.
It makes high frequency noise like when airplane start to fly.
Have you heard this noise when you press accelator?
Mine is normal engine not the turbo one.
Out of the 800 million videos on YouTube yours is the only one that offers clear instructions on how to install the front mud flaps on the Mazda cx-5. Fantastic video. I hope you Branch out and start making instructional videos on everything, because you're super clear and no nonsense. There's no way I would have figured this out following Mazda's instructions. By the way, I was able to do it without the jacknut tool. Just have to figure out how to collapse that Jack nut and keep it straight. Great video.
Back splash guards were fairly easy to do. However, the front mud flaps are harder to install. Wasn't able to master the Jack nut tool – the rivet wouldn't squash tight for me. (I wonder if using two washers, one nut and a bolt could act as a fastener vs the jack nut). Also be careful with your tools loosening the fasteners on the rim.. even though I taped up, the plastic wheelhouse molding (fender flare) is easily dented as you work a plastic tool under it to pop the fasteners.. Decided I will pay the dealer to install the front mud flaps.
