Roof Rack For The Mazda5 Thread

Which one are you looking at? Someone posted the new (I think) Ranger soft/hard box which looks great and a killer price.
I am going to get the Yakima SkyBox 16S.

These guys have $100 off right now and likely another $100 off from Yakima for the month of February. It looks to be the right size for us as well as the car. Looks like these are a lot more expensive in Canada.

Yakima rack mounting info?
Hello:
First post here. I'll be installing a Yakima rack with Q-towers and clips soon. It seems as though some have had problems with the rear doors interfering with the clips. Can someone give me info on how to minimize this? Thanks! Loving the 5 so far!

no idea but I would got with the Inno or Thule so you can bolt right into the roof. The Inno is great, and much cheaper than the Thule. my 2 cents worth.
Found this eBay sale interesting. Decorative stick-on roof rails! (uhm)

Wow... I expect to see cars with 20 on their roofs now, just like all the fender vents I see stuck everywhere.

Anyone interested in trading their OEM Mazda rack for my ROLA roof rack please hit me up. I need the OEM rack because my moonroof does not open with the ROLA. So if you have an OEM rack on a non moonroof Mazda5 and want to trade with me please contact me. The pros about doing this, is that you get a wider area to load things on my ROLA rack since the cross bars go past the mounting feet as opposed to the cross bars on the OEM rack. Here is a pic of my rack.

If anyone is interested I've got my slightly used ROLA roof rack listed on eBay:

So can anyone confirm that the new Mazda roof rack part# 0000-8L-L09 still clears the moonroof fully even with a basket attached to it. I know for sure the old part number before the super cession cleared it fully. Anyone has the new OEM Mazda rack with a moonroof that can confirm this please. TIA.
I'm looking to get the same roof rack as well. But based on this guy's experience; http://www.papayapc.com/2011/08/28/mazda-5-factory-roof-rack-review/, it definitely clears the moon roof. The pictures shown looks to me that the moon roof can fully be opened even with a basket or a cargo carrier box on top. That's just my guess..
So I pulled the trigger because I couldn't pass up the great deal on a brand new OEM roof rack provided by our good friend on eBay lilbit09012002 for $190 shipped. I can now confirm for sure that the old and new OEM Mazda roof rack will definately clear the moonroof even with a Yakima basket mounted on the load bars.

Let us know what rack you get. I've seen that listing in the past too but wasn't sure if it was for the new or old rack. The part # says new rack but the pic is the old rack. Either way, this is the way to get an OEM rack. Hope it works out for you.
I definitely received the new number (0000-8L-L09) the box had that number and the cross bars stick out past the foots a la Thule style. The old one (CC43-V4-701G) also cleared the moonroof fully even with the same Yakima basket I have on the new one now. So both old an new definitely clear the moonroof fully even with something loaded on the bars. As long as whatever you attach to the bars is even with the top of the bars and doesn't hang below the load bars.
Opening moonroof with a cargo box installed on the new OEM rack
I installed the new OEM rack with a Yakima box (16S) on my 2007 touring. As you can see in the attached image, The moonroof touches the bottom of the box when it is completely opened. I don't suggest you to slide open it while moving. Tilting it has no problem.

Yakima Skybox Fit
For those who may be considering a Yakima cargo box, go with the Skybox 18. I installed a Skybox 16S because Skybox 18 is too long for my wife's hatchback. As you can see in the attached image, Skybox 16s looks a bit short on the roof. I tried 18 at my local REI and it looked better.
