5200 mi Right side mirror glass had a dark spot in it and the dealer replaced it under warranty

6200 mi Water leak due to debris inside front windshield cowl 
23000 mi All ext. glass surfaces affected by orange peel. Have tried cleaning using Invisible Glass, vinegar, Bon Ami, alcohol, GooGone, Zaino glass polish; no effect. Local, then regional tech called in, then sent national. Awaiting next step. 
30000 mi Creaking/knocking from sliding doors and rear hatch. Diagnosed as "stiction" by dealer tech. All doors and hatch lubricated. Mazda National technicians diagnosed the glass issue as "caused by exterior influences", therefore would not speculate as to the solution.
