Sport model. I believe this thread discusses that you cannot have "Side Air Dam Skirt" trim. The mud flaps won't fit with those. At my Mazda dealer, the Touring and Grand Touring all have that trim...I think, but I am not sure of that.

 

Check this picture of a Mazda5 with rear mud flaps. The picture is in the picture thread in the mazda5 forum.

These mud flaps are supposed to fit the Mazda MPV. I'm going to start checking other manufacturer dealerships.

 

I haven't given up on the rear mud flaps. I traced the Mazda5 rear fender profile on a piece of paper and spent some time in the Walmart parking lot looking for matches.

To my surprise, the best match I could find was a Mazda Protege (hatchback, I think). I did a little research and was led from the Mazda Protege to the Axela and then to the Mazda3. Is it possible that the Mazda3 mud flaps (if there is such a product) will fit on the Mazda5? I'm going to do some internet research for rear mud flaps for those cars. More next week if there is any new information.

View of the rear wheel well profile. Does this look like a Mazda3? Protege?


[edit] I found the part at this link. It is a UK company that will not ship outside the UK.

 

I have a 2009 3 that is metropolitian gray. My rocker panel had some paint damage from road rash (central ny salt) however Mazda paid for it to be repainted and I put mud guards on. I was hesitant to install the mud gurads. I have heard that salt gets trapped behind them and it is actually worse. Any thoughts on mud guards to protect from road salt?

Yes I have fitted mud flaps. They were genuine Mazda from local deal, approx £76.00( Standard black)
They came with full fitting instructions and all the necessary clips screws etc for fitting.
Mine 5 had the stone guard along the bottom of each sill. This is covered in the instructions.
I considered it a very easy and simple job to complete ( 2 hours with 4 tea breaks and chocolate biscuits)
According to the Mazda dealer you cannot fit with side air dams.

well it's unfortunate that they don't offer rear splash guards for the 2006-2010 mazda 5's, but they do however offer the rear splash guards for the new 2012 model. i just installed the front and rears and it really looks great with the splash guards installed. perhaps the 2012 rear splash guards would fit an older model?
