OEM Roof Rack Thule Compatability Question

[DRTHVDR]

Need to purchase a rack for my MAZDA5 looking at the OEM rack and also Thule Rack as I already have Thule bars and Kayak holders and roofbox. Question is, will the OEM rack work with the Thule Kayak holders and roofbox I have or do I need to purchase an adapter or Mazda OEM holders/boxes?

AFAIK, the OEM rack IS a thule, though different than the aftermarket one. your stuff will mount no problem.

We have the OEM roof rack. It's a Thule rack with the older style square load bars, not the new RapidLoad Aero bars, and fits all our Thule accessories just fine.
