Assisted Kayak Carrier Solution for 2022 Mazda 3 Hatchback

Question

Question:

Hi, etrailer! I own a 2022 Mazda 3 hatchback with an OEM roof rack. Its this one here: BDEN-V3-840 I already own a Thule Hull-a-Port Aero rack. Will this work on my Mazda? I need to be able to load my 42 lb. kayak solo and Im 53. I would love a Hullavator. What else do I need to purchase to make this work on my Mazda? Something like a Malone Airflow? Or is it just not possible? How about Yakima Sweet Rolls, if I cant spring for the Hullavator? Would that work on my Mazda rack? Thanks so much for your expert advice. I clearly dont know my options and appreciate the help. :-P

I really wish we had an aftermarket roof rack that fit your 2022 Mazda 3 hatchback but at this time we do not have any options. You'd need an aftermarket setup to carry the Hullavator part # TH898 since it requires bars that extend through the feet unlike the flush bar setup you have now. The only assisted kayak carrier solution we have that would work with your current setup would be the Malone DownLoader with TelosXL Load Assist part # MPG114MD-351XL with the top channel adapter # MPG8287.

From what I could find it looks like your 122R (red) and 122Y (amber) lights measure 3.75" x 1.70" x .81". We don't have any replacement lense directly for the GLO-BRITE lights but we do have some similar lights that you could use…

The Bolt hitch lock part #BL7023582 that you referenced does fit your 2014 GMC Sierra 1500. I attached a chart that has all of the vehicle this works with. I also attached a link to a review video for this lock for you to check out as well.

I checked directly with BOLT for you, and they confirmed for me that your 2021 Chevy Silverado is absolutely compatible with their trailer hitch locks. Take a look at the accompanying photo, and if you have the same center cut key, the correct lock…
