I got around to take a few pictures for you. It's hard to show anything for the rear window vent (pix1), but I am posting here, along with te front radiator frame (pix2).
I am also asking a question since I found that there's a connector under the radiator frame top edge (see pix3), anybody know its use? thanks.

1. Re: the rear window vent, Mazda3 is not the only vehicle that has a vent back there. My neighbor's Jetta has similar vents back there. Purpose? I don't know. Maybe it allows the trunk to ventilate?
2. I have that square hole, it is really high up, I'll look next time after I drive in the rain to see if I get water coming in there. I don't see anything on mine directly behind the hole that looks like it wouldbe particularly sensitive to water.

now that you mention it.. i miss gear more on this than i did on the civic.. when i go into third i make sure i clutch alllllll the way down and i let it sit in neutral for a second before i shift completely. i always thought that the aftermarket bushings would make a difference. if i change to the TWM short shifter and the TWM bushings, would it correct the "missing third gear all the damn time" problem?

The 1x2 in hole that we talked about isn't a big deal, even if water gets in it'll hit the intake manifold, which is made of high-strength plastic.

something i really like:
everything is pre-wired.
ie,if your car doesnt have fog lights, all you need is the foglights, and a new light stalk, and thats it!
and apparently its the same for power mirrors, doors, windows, etc etc. but for those you'll need the solenoids, motors, etc etc

(To Virgin as well, thanks for the tip on the connector), I'm gonna poke around on the rear window vent, to see if the bottom is movable.
