Any Raised Roof Rails for 2024 CX-5?
 
Anyone know of any raised roof rails available for the CX-5? I only see the flush ones.

I'm not aware of any company that currently makes raised rails for vehicles that have flush rail systems.
Not certain why you would need them as all the flush rail systems use raised cross bars.
There are different heights available depending on manufacturer.

I've only seen flushed ones.

Lobstah had the right question- why would you need anything else? They make systems to work with the Mazda rails so why go with other than OEM?

Agreed. It works perfectly and looks nice.

I don't have any rails now, raised or flush. All I see available for sale is the flush. They look fine but don't allow for clamping any antenna mounts etc. too. I thought if there were raised rails available like other cars use it may be more useful for clamping things too, tying things too etc. without the need for the cross bars all the time.

You don't want to tie or clamp anything down on your roof without the cross bars unless you want to wreck your roof.
The cross bars will allow clamping and tying things.
If you are just looking for an antenna mount (not sure what type of antenna you are talking about) try magnetic.
You can also install the flush mount rails and purchase a single cross bar mount (without the cross bar) to attach an antenna to.

Raised bars on the CX-5.

Those look perfect for tying down a canoe, that sits on padding. Has anyone used them? are they secure?
