The corner seals will get grooves in them from the side seals.
Honestly I would suggest that you replace them even ifthey have minimal wear. \
They are cheap and i see no reason whyyou would not want to replace them.

Corner seals and sideseals are responsible for 50% of your over all compression. Corner seals get some serious wear from regular usage. Take a used cornerseal and inspected by the sides, you will find a groove that the sideseal has made on it from regular rotation of the rotor. That increases the corner seal sideseal gap in return loosing compression and power. I like my corner seals brand new.. I will not say any names, but I bought some solid racing 2mm corner seals from a rotary company. They told me that the material was 25% stronger then factory specs. Well I tried them, Right away I noticed very little compression. The engine did not want to kick over, I checked compression and had low numbers. This solid corner seals did NOT have a flat finish and I payed the price taking the engine apart.(this was about 4 years ago) I took the engine apart, replaced them with new stock Mazda corner seals and I had my engine back to normal. Corner seals are a very critical piece of rotary engine power.

I tell you FD3Boost I have found every single Mazda factory seal better then any other aftermarket seal I have tried. I have seen some factory corner seals break. But that was totally do to detonation. I only use the Atkins apex seals on my N/A engines, only because I use a big fat bridgeport and the Factory 2mm are no way usable.
