Euro vs NA Mazda 5 MPV

+1 for the INNO rack. Less expensive and very good quality, IMHO.

Amazon: $211 shipped. If I didn't have a sunroof, I'd sell/trade my OEM rack for this in a heart beat.

For those interested in a Rola rack for their MZ5. I run one on my 2009 with a sunroof! It just makes clearance. As the sunroof slides open, it taps the underside of the rack on its way back. No scraping, scratching or anything like that, literally just taps it. Personally, I love the rack. The price was right, it has aero-styled bars and looks good. Wind noise is bearable. Just my 5 cents/euros/pence.

Yea, I completely agree. I got the inno fairing which seemed to help with noise when the rack was unloaded BUT I have to say the biggest advantage to the inno is how easy the rack is removed and that they give you covers for the hardware installed on the roof. Seeing as it's not a pain to take off, I keep mine off when not in use (though it does look bad@$$)

May I see a pic or better yet video, please? Anxiously waiting to confirm this!

I don't know about this....when I had my ROLA a while back, it most definitely hit the bars. Enough for me to not push it and only use the tilt feature. Which didn't last long because I removed it and replaced it with an OEM. If it was me I wouldn't push it. That thing will get hung up on the cross bar and soon you'll be replacing a moonroof glass. But hey I'm stoked for a video too...
