Mazda Cx 5 spoiler squeaking Fix DIY repair 

Glad someone finally posted a video , I have some subs and those plastic parts would rattle, I wanted to take them off and put some type of rubber tape so they wouldn’t rattle how they would but had no idea on how to remove the plastic parts without breaking em!

Thanks a lot for making this video. It certainly helped me figure out where to tighten the loose nuts. I put thread lockers on them as well.

Thanks for a great video. Have a 2014 and this will complete the noise issues from the rear hatch that have bugged me and most of them are done.

Thanks! Experiencing the exact same issue with my 2013 CX5 in Australia

Thanks for posting! Turned out all 4 of the nuts holding it on had fallen completely off and were stuck in the bottom of the lift gate. I didn’t have to take off any of the clips (or break them) I was able to just put some thread locker on the nuts and tighten them up as much as possible. Those middle ones you can’t fit a tool on, they they are as finger tight as can be with thread locker. Hopefully it’ll last.

Nice job man

Very helpful. Glad to see it's not only my garage that looks like a mad scientist lab 😂.

Took me a few tries to figure out the squeak too. I initially thought it was the gas struts or their attach points, then I figured it was probably the hatch latch mechanism. Lubed everything, but still had the squeak. I finally shook the spoiler and replicated my squeak issue. A couple of the spoiler nuts had fallen off the bolts. Ordered some new nuts, installed them with LocTite and am now several years squeak-free. My spoiler side plastic trim rattles a bit when shaken, but I cannot hear it inside the car so haven’t yet felt the need to secure those trim pieces better. Just this week, I had the driver side flip-down sun visor fail to stay stowed. It started to just flop down and would not stay stowed against the headliner. Replaced it this afternoon. Also zip-tied the driver side leather seat tab brackets under the seat that kept popping loose. Now I need to Shoe Goo the front driver and passenger vinyl door trim pieces above the arm rest that have started to lose adhesion and are separating from the door panel. And also now my passenger rear window no longer rolls up fully, leaving about 1/4” gap. Need to pull the door panel tomorrow and see what I need to do to fix this issue. I quite like the little 2014 CX-5 but after 8 yrs and 48,000 miles the build quality is showing its shortcomings. I have had my 2002 VW GTI for 20 yrs now, and haven’t had any similar annoying little issues as I’m now having with the CX-5.

​ @Carving Life I did something similar with double sided tape rolled it into a cylindrical shape and squeezed it into the gaps and it stopped the rattling. Now just need to figure out the rattling noise i hear that comes from the front driver side when i throttle and go uphill or over certain bumps. checked heat shields, exhaust, none of them seem to have any issues. I have been through multiple inspections with different technicians and no one is able to replicate the sound but i can hear it!

Thanks, i was missing one nut and the others where loose... fixed that and no more rattle. Didnt have to remove the spoiler. So no broken clips 🙂

I had the same issue. 2 bolts were loose, and 2 were completely unscrewed. For the side plastic, I've fixed the problem by injecting glue with a small plastic straw (without removing the part).

I had the same issue. Rattling spoiler black plastic end pieces. Left and right sides. I lifted the gate and from the inside I stuck a piece of rubber vacuum hose the size of a straw 3 inches long. End of rattles without unscrewing and removing any parts! 2 minute fix.

Appreciate you

Great video. Do you know where I can find out how to remove the trim pieces at the top of the hatch to get at the spoiler fasteners that you point out in the video? Thanks!

The dealerships say they've never seen this generation of cx5 with this issue. Meanwhile it's all over the internet. It reminds me of Subaru when they lie about their head gasket issues and wheel bearing issues lol.

Can I remove only the black side pieces or must I remove the entire spoiler with them? Thank you for the video btw. You did great.

I have the sqeaking issue and also a water leak coming from my center brake light. I ordered all the parts from Mazda for $98. The car has been perfect other then this issue.

Fucking awesome work here! Thanks for vid!

wht kinda tools did u use to remove & tighten those screws? tried with mine and and its very hard to get in especialy those 2 in the middle

Maybe show how to take trim off.

What wrench are you using?

is that 3M glue that you stick with the plastic part?thank you

Could you please send me the clips you ordered from Mazda? It’s quite difficult to see on the video so would really appreciate it! Thanks Carving Life!

How did you get the 3 clips off they keep the spoiler on in addition to the bolts?

What size socket to tighten bolts . It must be a deep socket .

I’m about to do this soon on my 2016.5, both those black pieces are driving me nuts hahah just rattles on every bump

Did not show removal.

Will this work for a CX9?
