How to: 323 window rollers + many other models
Now this is just my 1st foray into Mazda windows & with luck this will be the lowest & most cost effective way of fixing this problem.
What's needed - 4 shower door rollers & a pair of 'slip joint' pliers as well as the correct rear roller bushes. The rollers need to be with the attached post & come with a 10mm nylock nut, the pliers are available at a lot of $2 shops for $2 (lol) & the jaw end of the pliers need to be ground down both sides by about 50% so that you can firmly grab the post of the roller whilst tightening the 10mm nut. Obviously you need to grind,cut off the existing post & punch it out thereby just leaving a hole in the frame where you then bolt on the shower screen roller Now I haven't done this yet to a Mazda but I have done it to 71-77 Celica rear windows with much success, so really can't see these as being anymore different ! Have been able to confirm the diameter of the roller needed is 27mm and is available through Bunnings hardware. The correct REAR roller is available through Mazda as a set of 5 (you need 4) & I confirmed this on Friday 6/5/16 & cost is $91.85 for 5 , the other 1 may or may not have to be purchased ? Because I've only owned my BA hatchy now for just a week I've only done the shifter bushes & will tackle these window rollers very soon but until then here's the link to a Japanese guy who's done his but wasted the new Mazda rollers by cutting them vertically to slip them on & supa gluing them !
