Expert Answers about Mazda 5


  • Will the Yakima RocketBox Pro 12 or 14 Cargo Box Fit a 2006 Mazda 5 with Factory Crossbars
  • Like you have said, the RocketBox Pro 12 is not listed as a fit from Yakima so I cannot recommend using it on your 2006 Mazda 5. The RocketBox Pro 14, # Y07192, will fit the bars and bar spread. The minimum clearance from the center of the forward bar to the hatch will need to be at least 45 inches for the RocketBox Pro 14 so it will clear the hatch. Remember that part of the box will be forward of the front crossbar AND you can adjust the feet inside the box to be further back which makes...

  • Recommended Bike Rack With A Ramp For Two E-Bikes
  • The Yakima OnRamp Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # Y96FR you were looking at does have a 66lb weight capacity and comes with a ramp but drops down to 40lbs per bike when used off-road. The padded clamps with ratcheting straps hold bikes securely by the frame or seat post. The cradles slide up and down and rotate to fit almost any bike. The Yakima OnRamp also only fits Class 2, 1-1/4" receivers and only Class 1, 1-1/4" receivers seem to be available for your Mazda, so this wouldn't be a...

  • Options to Carry 4 Bikes on a 2012 Mazda 5
  • Both the Curt # C11127 and the Draw-Tite # 24874 are Class I hitches for your 2012 Mazda 5. They will allow you to mount a 4 bike carrier but the carrier will tell you that loading 2 bikes is the max capacity with a class I hitch. I've linked the pages to all the 4 bike rack options and the 2 bike options for you. The Thule Camber you referenced is a fit within the restrictions I already gave. To carry 4 bikes you can use 2 bikes on a rear rack and another two bikes on a roof rack....

  • Fit of Swagman Fork Down Roof Mounted Bike Carrier S64710 on OEM Roof Rack of 2012 Mazda 5
  • The Swagman Fork Down Roof Mounted Bike Carrier # S64710 has a front mounting plate that is just under 8-inches wide. You can measure the available space on your OEM crossbars to calculate how many of these racks can be fitted to the rack at one time. Often you can gain more usable space by alternating the orientation of adjacent racks; in other words, face one forward, the next one backward, etc. The rack will mount to your crossbars as long as they are not wider than 3-inches. This will...

  • Lifting a 2017 KZ Sportsman 150bh Trailer
  • Since your axle still sits above your leaf springs you would actually want to start but "flipping the axle". I couldn't find what axle your 2017 KZ Sportsman 150bh has, but this is easy enough to figure out by taking a measurement of your trailer axles diameter. If it is a 2-3/8" Round Axle then you would want the Dexter Trailer Springs Over-Under Conversion Kit # K71-384-00. If it is a 3" Round Axle then you would want the Dexter Trailer Springs Over-Under Conversion Kit # K71-385-00. What...

  • Hitch Recommendation for 2015 Mazda 5 for use with Class II Accessories and Adapter
  • Since the Draw-Tite # 24874 has restrictive tab in it, it still may prevent you from using any type of adapter for 2" hitch accessories in a 1-1/4" hitch. Because of that reason I recommend going with the Curt Class I Hitch # C11127 since it does not have the restrictive weld stop that would keep you from freely using a 1-1/4" adapter for your 2" receiver accessories. Because of the limited capacity when using adapter accessories, if you'd like an option to carry more bikes I recommend...

  • How to Carry Rooftop Cargo Bag on Mazda5 Minivan with Sliding Doors
  • To use a rooftop cargo bag on your Mazda5 minivan with sliding doors, you'll need an option from Rightline, which installs with clips to a naked roof. You will need to ensure your vehicle has weather molding which you can attach the clips underneath as well. You can see in the linked instructions how to attach the clips. Your options for a rooftop bag are: - Rightline Gear Sport Jr. Rooftop Cargo Bag - Waterproof - 10 cu ft # RL100S50 - Rightline Gear Sport 3 Rooftop Cargo Bag - Waterproof...

  • How Many Bikes Can Be Loaded on a Hitch-Mount Carrier Used on a Mazda 5 With Class I Hitch
  • A hitch-mount bike carrier may have a different bike-carrying capacity depending on the rating of the hitch into which it is installed. If the hitch is rated as Class I, then it can handle the weight of only two bikes, even if the carrier can actually hold 4 bikes. This limitation holds true even for kids bikes. The reason for the 2-bike limit on a Class I hitch has as much to do with the geometry of the carrier and hitch as it does the weight of the bikes. The further out from the hitch...

  • Thule Hitch Lock and Anti-Rattle Device Compatibility with Thule 515-0109 Bike Rack
  • The Thule 515-0109 is just a generic number that was used on their very old hitch mounted bike racks (mostly found in Europe). There are some models that will be able to use the # THSTL2 but I can't tell you if yours is one of those options. Other models will only be able to use the Replacement 12 x 40 mm Hitch Bolt for Thule Hitch Bike Racks and Goalpost Hitch Mounted Load Bar # 908-1240-54 for connection. The hitch bolt that comes in the # THSTL2 is M12 x 1.75 and is roughly 4 inches...

  • Troubleshooting Turn Signals Not Working After Installing Curt Wiring Harness on 2009 Mazda 5
  • If just the turn signals are not working on your 2009 Mazda 5 after installing the Curt Wiring Harness # 56016 I would start by checking to see if you may have blown a fuse. According to the online version of the owner's manual I saw the turn signal lights are in position 50 in the engine compartment fuse block. Should the fuses not be an issue I believe the issue is likely a poor ground. It is important that the white ground wire be attached to a bare metal surface that is free of any...

  • Bike Carrier Options for 2012 Mazda 5
  • We do offer trunk-mount bike racks for your 2012 Mazda 5 but you are correct that these are limited to a 3-bike capacity. This is true for all trunk racks; none are offered in a 4-bike capacity as this would be too heavy for a vehicle trunk. We do offer a light duty Class I hitch for your car but you can carry only 2 bikes on a Class I hitch rack. So, in order to transport 4 bikes on this vehicle you will need a combination of trunk or hitch rack along with a roof-mount bike carrier. No...

  • Roof Rack Options For 2009 Mazda 5
  • We can get your 2009 Mazda 5 set up with a roof rack with no problem, and there are a couple of choices for you. One is a square bar roof rack from Inno while the other is an aero bar roof rack from Rhino-Rack. There are pros and cons to each that can help you with your decision. The pro to the Inno square bar rack is that it's the most economical option, and a good overall value with a combination of quality and price. But the con is that square crossbars are louder than aero crossbars,...

  • What Is the Height of the Malone Profile 18B Rooftop Cargo Box?
  • From the lowest point to the highest point on the Malone Profile18B Rooftop Cargo Box # MPG911 it measures 15-3/4" tall. Any additional height from your crossbars would have to be added after the fact as we won't have that information. Seeing as though you only have 15-5/8" total of clearance I'd say it's safe to say that you won't be able to keep the cargo box installed when you park your car in the garage.

  • Will the Cipa Towing Mirrors Fit a 2001 Ford F-150 with Running Boards
  • Since these mirrors only attach to the bottom of the door on your F-150, these mirrors will not interfere with your running boards. We do offer several options for custom fit towing mirrors that are confirmed as a fit for your truck. I have provided a link to those option for you as well.

  • What is the Bumper Clearance for the Draw-Tite 24874 on a 2012 Mazda 5
  • When the Draw-Tite # 24874 is installed on a 2012 Mazda 5, the center of the hitch pin hole to the edge of the bumper will be 4 3/4 inches. It will also sit at 12 1/2 inches from the ground to the top of the receiver. I included a link to an install we did with this hitch on a 2012 Mazda 5 for you to take a look at as well.

  • Thule AeroBlade Roof Rack and Cargo Box for a 2013 Mazda 5
  • For your 2013 Mazda 5 Thule roof rack # TH7601-TH7602 and fit kit # THKIT3080 will fit. The Thule Force XXL cargo box will physically fit the roof rack however it will be too long and interfere with the rear hatch when you try to open it. It will not open all the way. The largest box that will fit with this roof rack system and not interfere with the rear hatch is the Force XT, # TH6358B. I have linked a video review of this box for you. As far as the longevity of the crossbars you can...

  • Roof Rack Feet Compatible with Old Thule Cross Bars for 2008 Mazda 5
  • The Inno Feet for Square Crossbars # INXP will work with your older Thule square load bars. To fit on your 2008 Mazda 5, they would also need the Custom Fit Kit # INTR120. Those two parts will work together to make a complete set ready for your square crossbars. I attached a photo of it installed on a Mazda like yours. I don't know what your original Thule feet specs were, but the Inno Feet # INXP have a weight capacity of 165 lbs which is great as I have seen other roof racks in this...

  • Roof Mounted Cargo Basket for a 2009 Mazda 5 with Rola Roof Rack
  • I do have a basket recommendation that will work for you but the Curt roof mounted cargo basket # C18115 will not fit the Rola roof rack on your 2009 Mazda 5. The hardware will only fit around bars up to 3 inches wide. The Rola bars are 3-1/8 inches wide and the bar spread (center to center from one bar to the other) would have to be 15, 22, or 29 inches. Your bar spread should be 31 to 33 inches on center. You can use the Thule Canyon basket, # TH895XT, which will fit bar spreads of 20"...
