factory roof racks

european spec mazda3's have fixed points for a factory roof rack whereas us spec models dont.

the black strip that runs the length of the car is the same except for the sliders that conceal the fixed points.

is a conversion possible?
 
The bolt holes are under that strip. In Canada, and I think every other market in the Worlds, they have the caps to pry off to let you see them. In the US the marketing folks must have though people would associate that with the "family truckster" or something so they cover them up. But they are just covered, you can get to them.

There is some thread that has detailed info on getting to the holes and they kind of racks you can use. I am not sure if these are all of the threads you should look at:
