the two rear windows on my 05 sport wagon do not go down all the way. they stop with about
1-2 inches left of glass. is this normal? also how do you take care of the leather on the steering wheel so it does not disintegrate over time?

 

the rear windows are not meant to go all the way down. mine are like that as well on the 05 mazda6 sedan. I wish they did go down all the way though.

 

Gray mazda 6 is right. The rear edge of the glass should go down flush with the door but front edge should have an inch of glass still sticking up. No idea who designed that one but maybe should go back to school.

 

I spoke w/ Mazda and they agreed it was idiotic and to call the designer and yell...
any ideas on taking care of the leather on the steering wheel?

 

I just use leather dressing for shoes/boots on my steering wheel -- it works great.
