There is a line (or indentation) marked on the rubber seal. I used that indentation as a marker to line up the seal with the bottom part of the trunk lid latch.
Hi, sorry for the significant delay is response. From what I remember, no, there is no cure time. However, I think 24 hours is more than enough just as a precautionary measure.
The new OEM weather strip has special adhesive built in. The Mazda dealer called it "Pinch-weld," which I know the term is usually used for something completely different. Nevertheless, one just has to place the rubber seal on and press tightly with fingers. No adhesive necessary with this particular trunk rubber seal on this make and model.

No adhesive, glue, or silicone necessary with this particular trunk rubber seal on this make and model as the new seal has some sort of special glue/sealant inside. So, all one needs to do is press the new seal on and it's good to go. Confirmed this with a Mazda technician.
