Does it have to be? I finished mine, and when I open the door, it protects the other car.
I believe you would have no problems based on the images I found. I installed it on all four doors of a 2019 Chevy Sonic RS (4 dr sedan). The back door on my house has a significant curve. For me, it worked perfectly. I started on the front side and worked my way backwards as shown in the video link (link was on the package when it arrived).
Your Mazda should be able to use it. I was able to find an image of your 2019 front doors on the internet with no problems. You could attach it to the straight part of your door handle on the back doors. I'm not sure if you have the black molding trim that opens as one piece with the door or not. In any case, it appears that the back door curves sharply rather than gradually. So, as long as you wear the smaller straight part, you should be fine. My mother's 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe has the black plastic-like molding that opens with the door as part of the door. You can look it up on Google Images if you want to see what it looks like. In any case, she could only have the straight portion of her rear doors done, not the curved portion. I have a 2019 Chevy Sonic RS and completed all four doors without difficulty. Just take your time and watch the videos. They include watchable links with the package. The Dry Method was used by me. Basically, measure, peel, and stick while taking your time.
It is possible to open all four doors.

Take your time to ensure that the surface is CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN. Make sure to purchase a small spray bottle (I went to a beauty supply store) and fill it with 25% iso alcohol and the remainder water. It shouldn't be too difficult if you follow the instructions; the solution evaporates quickly, so keep spraying it as you go. In addition, if the tape is not stretched, it lays down better and is easier to work with. Only curved areas should require stretching. However, if the area is particularly curved, it may not adhere to the backside of the door. Most bubbles should pop with your finger, but for the final touches, I used a small squeegee. Remove the bubbles as you go, or the glue will start to dry and it will be more difficult to remove them later. I was able to complete a significant portion of all four doors on my GMC truck.
That time, no harm was done, but it did cause me to reflect. I don't want to scratch my new car's doors. I didn't want anything that would draw attention to itself and detract from the overall appearance of the vehicle. This is the solution! It's almost imperceptible, but it's tough as nails.
Almost imperceptible. If you're careful, it'll stretch and forgive you.

If you have close-cut fingernails, fold over about 1/8" at the end to aid in the start of each peel.

Because the roll was long enough, I was able to re-use it. Do two of the doors that I messed up the first time; the instructions say to use the hot air gun to heat the tape, but this takes a lot of finesse. When I first tried to warm it up, the tape simply shriveled and separated. I'm glad I got the wider strip, too, because the backsides of my doors aren't flat, and I was able to gently warm the tape after installation and press it into the non-flat areas. The back edge is smooth.
Please keep in mind that I have not used or installed this product, and my review is solely based on the application process. To install the film properly, you'll need to go through a few steps. It's simple enough to clean the car door's edge with rubbing alcohol. However, you must also spray the film and the door with a solution that is not identified or included in the package I received with the product, then apply the film while the edge is still wet, and heat the product and the edge of the door with a hairdryer for a more secure application. These things I learned from a video that wasn't available on the installation guide's website, but was on YouTube. com. I would not have purchased if I had known about these procedures. Instead, I'll go back and purchase the 3M protective film.
It applies well and is of good quality, so it should protect the paint from light to moderate dings if you open your door and hit something by accident. It won't help if you slam your door shut and hit something, but you have control over that. I'm glad I got this because it's a little bigger than similar items.
The installation videos were extremely helpful in demonstrating how to use the tape. The only issue I had was that I didn't have a heat gun with which to complete the installation. doing it in the open air The tape and door must be kept warm in order for the urethane tape to conform to all of the door's contours and irregularities. br>br>Because I didn't clean it thoroughly and keep it warm, I had to redo my first door twice.
