Will the 65" Rhino-Rack HD Crossbars # RB1650 Fit on My 2010 Mazda 3 Hatchback?

Question:

I have a Mazda 3 2010 hatchback with fixed mounting points. Will this item fit? [It seems close to a mazda 3 sport?] Can I order this item?

I have an answer for you. Unfortunately, the 65 inch Rhino-Rack Heavy-Duty Roof Rack Crossbars # RB1650 are too long for your 2010 Mazda 3 Hatchback with fixed mounting points. With that being said, you can still have shorter Rhino-Rack Heavy-Duty crossbars on your vehicle. Our installation team here at etrailer has tested these shorter bars with your vehicle so that they will fall within the required dimensions of local traffic laws. For this system, you will need the following parts:

- Rhino-Rack Heavy-Duty Roof Rack Crossbars - Silver - 50" Long - Qty 2 # RB1250
- Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Legs for Heavy-Duty Crossbars - Naked Roofs or Fixed Mounting Points - Qty 4 # RRRLKHD
- Custom DK Fit Kit for 4 Rhino-Rack 2500 Series Roof Rack Legs - Fixed Mounting Points # DK289

With this above roof rack, you will be able to transport accessories and cargo on your 2010 Mazda 3. The weight capacity of this system is 165. In order to make sure that you don't extend over the maximum weight capacity of the roof of your Mazda 3, I recommend consulting the owner's manual for the maximum weight capacity of the roof of your vehicle.
