Tengo el mismo problema y pensaba en poner cinta doble cara ... pero no sabia como quitar la pieza. Gracias por subir este video es de mucha ayuda. Ahora lo intentaré con la confianza de que si funciona .
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.
The thread lock should do the trick!
Same thing with me! I’m going to see if I can find the bolts, if not I’ll order them!
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!
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.
I have not had those other issues with my mazda yet. But that is allot of little things to go wrong. They certainly add up to a large annoyance. Good luck with your mazda.
@@carvinglife Fortunately they’re mostly simple and inexpensive fixes. The window issue is the most annoying. Hope to have it solved tomorrow. Seems something supporting the window regulator has broken or come loose, causing some excess play in the window travel. The motor and regulator seem to be working fine mechanically.
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. On the lower part of the spoiler, the black side piece; I put vhb sticky tape to remove the rattling noise.
Thanks! Experiencing the exact same issue with my 2013 CX5 in Australia
I am happy i could help!
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).
That sounds much easier! Removing everything is a pain.
Very helpful. Glad to see it's not only my garage that looks like a mad scientist lab 😂.
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 🙂
A nice easy fix!!! Awesome!
Same exact here
@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!
Thats awesome you figured out the spoiler issue. I gota say after chasing noises in vehicals. Sometimes its not so easy unfortunately. If it has to do with your car when its under load i would be looking around the engine and the header area. I hope you figure it out soon. I have not herd of that issue before.
Good luck! Id like to know what it was when you figure it out!
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.
Dam that sounds much easier!
With no information that i could find on the internet i just tried it to see if i could find a way myself.
The way i did it worked awesome but was not nearly that simple!
I wish i would have tried your fix first!
I m going to try that. Thank you Mr. Manny C.
@@Harpo.jr70 Its still holding up with no rattles for me. Good luck to you sir!!
@@MannyC711 is your hose trick still working? I have a 2016 CX-5 suffering from the same problem and I would much rather shove a 1/4" vac line in there than to remove the spoiler and those corner pieces. Everyone seems to be busting clips while removing the damn things so I'd like to avoid that situation entirely. Lol
@@beri232 Yes indeed! It’s been like 3 1/2 years and many automatic car washes and my vacuum hose it still doing its thing. No rattles!!! Go for it! 👍🏼
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.
Glad to hear it helped.
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.
Im happy it helped! It is very annoying. The fix i did on mine is still working with no noise.
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.
I have not had the brake light leek but il keep an eye on that.
That squeaking was driving me crazy tho.
@@carvinglife It was driving me crazy to. I was able to fish out the two nuts that came out without taking the interior apart on my tailgate. I have a magnet wrapped in electrical tape and was able get em out through the access panel for the brake light. I just tightened em down and the main noise went away. But the little black "winglet's" on the side of the spoiler are still making noise. So when my new center brake light comes in I'm also going to replace all the clips and isolation pieces I saw in the spoilers exploded view. The Mazda dealer was able to print me out an exploded view of the whole rear tailgates spoiler section.
How did you fix the stop light leak?
@@jeffflannery9500 I replaced it with a new stop light. It's $58 from the dealer.
But after taking it out I believe you can tweak the top clips up more and this will make them put more pressure on the gasket.
I believe it's a 10mm deep socket you need to remove those.
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
Yeah, its disappointing how many of them rattled loose.
Make sure you check the bolts that hold the spoiler on as well! Those ones make a good amount of noise as well.
Is it a squeaking like “chirp” noise??? I think this is the issue I’m having!!!
@@matthewmayberry22 no not a squeaking noise b it rattling noise. I’ve fixed the rattling though. Just used small pieces of double sided tape and placed it in each side underneath the black triangle for the spoiler. Thank God the rattling is gone.
@@matthewmayberry22 I’ve placed the double sided tape right at the tip of the black triangle piece. You’ll know what I’m talking about when you tap on it and it hits the glass.
@@matthewmayberry22 we had a squeaking chirp noise. its probably the bolts have rattled loose or off.
just grab your spoiler and move it up and down gently.
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.
Agreed, it seems to be a normal issue!
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!

I would go to mazda if you cant find any information. Sadly there there is no information thats why i made the video.... i was just so frustrated i figured it might help someone.
I broke the clips trying to remove them on both sides... so i am not a professional by any means.
@@carvinglife Sorry, I needed to be more specific. I meant the inside trim. You showed how to pull off the top inside piece but I wasn’t sure how to remove the rest of the trim on the inside. I’ll do some trial and error and see what happens. :P. Thanks for the reply!
Awesome, go to the link i sent you.
Go to the door/lids and hood/truck link.
Then go to lift gate trim removal. It has upper and lower trim walk through
Maybe show how to take trim off.
is that 3M glue that you stick with the plastic part?thank you
@@jerrythenorth 3M Double Sided Tape, Heavy Duty Waterproof Foam Mounting Tape. For automotive use.
@@carvinglife thank you so much
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.
6:22 if you look around that time you will see the black platic side pieces are actually attached to the spoiler itself. Good luck
@@carvinglife I see. I'll remove the spoiler then. Thanks again. Good luck too.
Did not show removal.
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
I believe it's a 10mm deep socket you would need.
Nice job man
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!
Yeah, no problem.
the top clip is the Upper Molding Retainer Clip - EG21-51-SJ3
the lower one is Side Support Retainer Clip -
KD53-51-0B6B
and the foam washers the 'Spoiler Assembly Gasket' - BBN9-51-972
@@carvinglife thank you so much!
how many pieces to buy everything?
Appreciate you
Thank you. Hope it helps.
Will this work for a CX9?
The bolts that hold it on would be worth checking. They probably use the same hardware.
What size socket to tighten bolts . It must be a deep socket .
O man, i honestly cant remember!
I want to say it was a 10mm or 12mm deep socket.
@@carvinglife I like your video, but info on that is very important when you go step by step
Fucking awesome work here! Thanks for vid!
What wrench are you using?
10mm deep socket. It’s metric… it’s been a few years since I did it. 10mm or 12mm
How did you get the 3 clips off they keep the spoiler on in addition to the bolts?
www.mcx5.org/rear_spoiler_removal_installation-463.html
When you detach the side clips and have removed all bolts holding the spoiler on you should be able to pull up on the spoiler and pop out the three clips that hold it on.
The link i attached should explain it better.
@@carvinglife yeah it says detach them, but not how. Will pulling on the spoiler release them, is there a release on the interior side of the tailgate? Just worried I'm gonna break them. Thanks !
The three clips left are ones that you literally need to pull out. One by one
Support the spoiler close to the clips and give a tug straight up it should pop out. Start on one side and go to the other. You are going to need a little leverage so it helps to stand on something so you can pull properly.
Also, i had no idea what i was doing when i made this video! i just wanted to help other people that had no information either.
Good luck 👍
@@zjh908 watch 7:35 and see how easy the clips poped into the white platic on the top of the tail gate. Just pull back and up and they should pop out just like they went in.
