WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Mazda 3. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION:
  • Proper installation of the rear window glass may be difficult if sealant is cracked or the glass is pushed out by air pressure when a door is opened/closed with all the window glass closed. Leave all the windows open until the rear window glass is installed completely.
  1. Cut away the old sealant using a razor so that a 1-2 mm {0.04-0.07 in} thickness of sealant remains along the perimeter of the frame.
    WARNING:
    • Using a razor with bare hands can cause injury. Always wear gloves when using a razor.
  2. If the sealant has come off completely in any one place, apply some primer after degreasing, and allow it to dry for approx. 30 min.  Then apply a 2 mm {0.08 in}  thickness of sealant.

  3. Clean and degrease the perimeter approx. 50 mm {1.97 in}  from the glass end and the bonding area on the body.
  4. If installing a reused rear window glass, install the rear window glass molding according to the following procedure.
    1. Clean and degrease the rear window glass molding installation area of the rear window glass.
    2. Apply the glass primer to the rear window glass molding installation area of the rear window glass.
  5. Apply glass primer on the rear window glass, and body primer on the rear window glass molding as shown in the figure. Allow it to dry for approx. 30 min. 
    CAUTION:
    • Keep the area free of dirt and grease, and do not touch the surface. Otherwise, the primer may not properly bond to the surface of the glass and body, which may cause leakage.
