Hi all,

I have a dent in my front wing of my 2019 CX-5 and to mend it the garage are saying they will need to remove the wing and to do this they need to disable and reset the MRCC. Is this correct? They are charging over £400 just for this!

Thanks for your help,

 

No need to do anything. The radar unit is mount behind the front bumper and doesn't get touched when removing or refitting the front bumper.

 

Hi Grim reaper, thanks for your reply. Before I go and see them, just so I am completely assured of this; so there are no circumstances that would require, when removing the bumper (to remove the wing which has a small dent on the upper surface of the wing) the radar to be turned off or reset afterwards? You are saying they are basically trying it on?

If it's just the bumper plastic pushed in, sometimes you can heat it with a heat gun or hair dryer and push/mold the plastic back into place.

 

Please post a photo so I'm 100% sure on your description.

To me there is no front wing, only a front bumper.

 

 

If that part is metal then have a dent less paint repair guy look at it. They can do wonders on metal.

If this is plastic then as noted try a hair dryer with some pressure behind the dent.

Good luck.

Thats not what I would call a wing. It is metal, it can be repaired by a paintless dent repair company. No need to touch the bumper or radar system. Cost should be less than UK150

 

I am not a auto body repair expert however, if you have doubts on the repair or their price seek out a second price quote from another reputable body shop.

That's a fender. Also, they are overcharging you by a lot, no need to touch the bumper or radar unit, it will be less if you check prices with a few highly rated PDR specialists.
