Which Rooftop Cargo Box Can I Use on a 2021 Mazda 3 with Factory Crossbars

Question:

Hi, I was wondering if any of the rooftop boxes that you sell can be installed on a Mazda3 2021 Hatchback 2.5 Turbo, to hold 180cm skis. Ive purchased the OEM bars. Thanks!

I recommend using the Rhino-Rack MasterFit Rooftop Cargo Box - 15-1/2 cu ft - Textured Black # RRRMFT440 which can hold skis up to 187cm long and will fit on the factory crossbars of your 2021 Mazda 3 Hatchback.

This RhinoRack box lets you access the inside of the box from either the driver or passenger side and the box comes with 2 locks to keep the contents secured. You will want to make sure that you've got 49-1/4" from the center of the front crossbar to the line where the roof meets the rear hatch in order to allow for full opening of the rear hatch. If you find that you've got less room than that, just let me know and I can recommend an alternative solution.

I've linked a review video of this box for you to check out.
