2014 Mazda 3 hatch roof rack alternatives?
#11
OK, results, and they are good.
Went to REI this weekend. I figured the 2013 couldn't be that much different than the 2014. I got the Thule AeroBlade 47", Foot kit 460R, and fit kit 3069. It went on like a champ, and fits perfectly. I initially thought I was going to experience wind noise, but I put in the rubber strip into the T-slot and it went away. Looks great, fits great. All I ahve to do is drill the trim pieces for the threaded rod (or get the replacement pieces with the little doors) and re-install.
I'm lovin' it! Oh, and kudos to REI for letting me take the stuff out and make sure it fit first. REI rocks!

Speaking of those "little doors"...on my last Mazda 3 someone stole those while my car was in a parking lot. I priced them online and they were VERY expensive (don't recall the price at the moment). There was no way I was gonna spend that, so I covered the openings with black electrician's tape for the winter. It cost practically nothing, was nearly invisible, and was easy to take off when I wanted to re-install the rack.
