...and screw the baby seat base, I'm not uninstalling and reinstalling it again, it stays right there, I'll still make everything else fit

HOLY CRAP! I think Mazda should make that a commercial!
Tying up kayaks?
Nice setup of the two kayaks. I just bought the Mazda roof rack a few weeks ago and tied up my 14' sea-kayak on the rack after a few trials of tying it down. I had noticed B5, you had the straps going through the grill. Do you find it okay for I tried that way but was worried about damaging the paint or grill?
I had to modify my front straps to get to the two holes near the front wheels.
Thanks!

Hey Double T, No problem at all. I struggled for about an hour trying to find a point to tie off to that wasn't plastic! Man there is a lot of plastic in the front and the belly pan doesnt allow you to get to anything underneath so finally I found a steel bar going from the bumper to the rad support. It is also what the hood latch attaches to so I used that. It's really solid and I used a "J" hook to grab onto it. I'll post some picks in the next day or two of what I used how I hooked onto it. The rope coming thru the grill just barely touches the grill and it doesnt apply any pressure on the grill at all.
That's makes two of us. Camping for a week wth two boy's is no easy task. I had to come home for a rest!(sleep)
What us car owners do to accomplish stuff eh?
Know what you mean by the plastic underneath, my hands were literally scratched and bleeding from trying to get through some of the gaps to a secure metal piece. Someone at a paddle store found two holes near the front of the axle pass the plastic belly shield underneath. Secure and easy to hook onto BUT no straps were available anywhere at that length. Managed to put two different straps together to form a longer but just as secure piece.

What is your mileage like with the trailer and all that other stuff?
We averaged 10.4 L/100KM or 22.8 US MPG loaded as shown. Not too bad.
I've posted my mileage in this thread http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/showthread.php?t=123746422 and also my whole mileage log here http://www.mazdas247.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=153691&d=1248549976
We are making the same 700km trip this weekend as the July 17 trip in my log, but this time with the trailer. I'll post those numbers after my next fill up and see if the trailer makes a difference or not. My guess is the trailer will not make any difference and we should be able to get 8.3l/100KM.

if not for the nice home depot guy.
I went to get this shed at home depot:
We had to take it out of the box and spend several minutes with a very nice Home Depot person finding the right angles and stacking to get it all in, but it fit and the home depot guy asked, "Is this a crossover?" "Not really." "Who makes this car?" "Mazda" "'Dear Mazda, you'll never guess what we got in your car." "Actually," I said, "there's a whole forum about the amazing things you can get in this car."
I love you mazda 5!
