#505 of 589 Antenna replacement by prosend Aug 18, 2008 (10:57 am)
I am curious as to how you would replace the antenna assembly. I was at the dealer waitingon an oil change and looked at the Mazda 6 with the Sharck fin antenna. I could not figure out how you would replae the Mazda5 antenna with the sharkfin. Do you have to take to roof liner off and unscrew something? Replies to this message: jonat1x (Aug 18, 2008 8:16 pm)

#507 of 589 cargo cover and net by west_exchange Aug 20, 2008 (10:46 am)
I bought cargo cover for my Mazda 5 from mazdastuff and it's awesome! Worth every penny so I can cover what I have in the trunk. The net however was poorly designed. It has plastic hooks that can easily break overtime. I already broke one of 6 hooks on it even if I were careful. Why make it so cheap???? Also, I wish Mazda put the metal hooks on the back wall, so that the net can be attached to prevent cargo from rolling out of the car when the back seats are down and the trunk door is opened. Most mini vans have that configuration. This way, the only time the net is usable at all is when all 6 seats are up. Poor design especially since trunk doesn't have the "lip" to prevent cargo from falling out of the car (watermellon comes to mind) when the trunk door is open. Also what's up with the space between second row seats? The cargo from the trunk regularly roles out of the trunk forward unless I put piece of carboard to block it off. Anyone found a good solution for that? I'd appreciate ideas! Replies to this message: athenasius (Aug 20, 2008 6:39 pm)

Replying to: west_exchange (Aug 20, 2008 10:46 am) re net. i have had mine for almost 3 years and use it all the time. I would get them to take it back. When the back seats are down I put the net down (flat- like a blanked)with a clip on each of the 4 loops and stick stuff under net that way they do not fly around. I hear you re the hole in the floor, the second row gap sucks for sure in the rest of the world the middle seat / shared arm rest covers the hole. As for the gap I have one of those pop open circle sun visors that I slip in between if i am worried about the gap and when the dog is in the back and with the middle seats up. Just an fyi if you only have a bunch of groceries the back cover behind the near the hatch is designed to lift up and will slide perpendicular to the floor (about 1/5 of it slides into the floor to contain tuff, and with the slight whole in the plastic area it works great(but if you over stuff it things may fall out when you open the door but I have only ever had a can of tomatoes fall out of a bag and fall out. ps it will not contain heavy item and just flops closed (without damage) i tried to use it to hold my tires lol. with all the seats up you can place it upright against the last row of seats to contain (like and evelope - just remember to clip the snaps together) stuff.   As for the back cover i had mine stolen and have not gotten a new one yet.

#510 of 589 Roof Racks by abarry90 Sep 12, 2008 (1:17 pm)
Can't seem to find a roof rack option for the M5. Can it be added to any model? Anyone know the price? Also, didn't see window tinting as an option either. Anyone know if there will be any upcoming dealer incentives? Also, we are set on a manual trans. I am having a hard time specifically pining down what changes were made to the 2009 model. If I see a good deal on a 2008, should I get it or stick with a new 2009? Replies to this message: 5_more (Sep 12, 2008 1:36 pm) 5_more (Sep 12, 2008 1:39 pm)

Replying to: abarry90 (Sep 12, 2008 1:17 pm) The roof rack is an add-on accessory. It fits any model -- even with the sunroof.   Eight pages of roof rack discussion can be found here: http://www.msprotege.com/forum/showthread.php?t=123691620

Replying to: abarry90 (Sep 12, 2008 1:17 pm) Unless the following matters to you, go with the best deal.   Per Ford: New or enhanced for 2009: (Mazda 5)       * New Liquid Silver exterior color to replace Sunlight Silver (late availability)     * Sand interior color now available with Stormy Blue and Brilliant Black exterior colors
