Common problem to '14 & '15 3 models. Ticking sound in passenger A-pillar. Mazda figured out the problem & issued a TSB. Repair performed in exterior cowl area. Minor nuisance I simply wanted corrected before the b2b warranty is up.
I noticed the front of the seat material hanging down about 6 months after I took the car from the lot. Not sure if it was that way then. The fastener had failed and would no longer stay put. Cover is now replaced and no problems at this time.
