Expert Reply:
Yes! You can definitely install this roof rack to your 2014 Mazda 6 with a sunroof:
- Yakima JetStream Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 50" # Y00425
- BaseLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars - Naked Roofs # Y28TR
- BaseClip Fit Kit for Yakima BaseLine Roof Rack Towers # Y06130
- BaseClip Fit Kit for Yakima BaseLine Roof Rack Towers # Y06132
- Yakima Same-Key Lock Cores # Y07204
Although, it is important to make sure you have enough height on the roof rack for the sunroof to operate. While we don't have the exact measurements of this system on your 2014 Mazda 6, we do have this system's height when mounted on a 2021 Mazda CX-5 to give you an approximation (see attached video). When mounted on that vehicle, this setup has a height of 3-1/4 inches from the roof to the bottom of the crossbar. In order to make sure you have enough room for your sunroof to open, I recommend measuring the height of the glass when it opens. If you do have enough height, it is important to note that you may have a lot of wind noise from the crossbars.
As far as the weight capacity, this system provides you with 165 pounds. However, it is important to confirm with your vehicle's owner's manual to make sure that you do not exceed the weight capacity of the roof itself.
