I was able to transfer my Rhino Rack bars and 2500 series platforms from my C-Max to my Mazda 5 with just changing the foot kit from one specific to the C-Max to the fixed point type for the Mazda 5. Some savings from buying a new setup entirely. I took the risk the bars' length might be an issue - turned out okay.

*** In changing the roof rack from one car to another, make sure to buy 4 total of the measuring strips for the roof racks (#RRM641). I didn't think to buy these until I put the rack on and heard whistling at high speed.

Hey there,
So the product was great,
and installation was relatively easy. I have a concern with the pads I received in my box/ the placement of them. And I’m not sure who to contact?
I did not see on the DK sheet specific for my vehicle how to place the pads and which way the arrow should go. So I put them all on with the arrow facing out. The back pads look great but they front pads look odd, and not just the placement but also the pad itself. I’ll attach two pictures to show you the difference in them!

According to Rhino Rack, the pads sitting under the front foot pack should be rotated 180 degrees. Once thats done, they should sit correctly.

Crossbars carry up to 4 SUP boards on a little Subaru wagon. Strong, quiet, trouble free.

Product was good. Clarification in the instructions would help. Needing the torque wrench and specific adapters is not ideal for installation. Plastic caps to be tightened I feel is not adequate either when its a main support to hold the racks onto the car. Everything else went together great and I have no problems with the kit installation minus those few issues.



by:

The fit was good. The DK specs though were supposed to show on the foot pad if the arrow points in or out. I looked up many other DK specs and all were out so I defaulted to that. Other than that installation went well and it was easier to install after I did the front rack.

Great product, worked very well for our vehicle. etrailer’s website makes shopping for a roof rack very easy, complete with photos. Plus it was delivered a day ahead of schedule!

2013 Mazda 5

the rack for our little Mazda 5 looks great, I thought it went together easily, we did have to watch a short video to make sure we put everything on in the correct order. But it looks good!



by:

All items arrived in perfect order with some duplicate items which were not required. Instructions were abit fuzzy but installation only took about 1.5 hours. Customer service with Zack and Tamara was great. Emails were answered sometimes within minutes and product arrived right on time.



by:

etrailer helped me through the order process for a difficult application and I was able to get the best luggage rack for the vehicle. I highly recommend their products and will use them in the future.



by:

The product performed perfect! I'm looking forward to season #2 with my roof rack!

Kit went along with the roof rack stuff. Had to follow the directions carefully but it worked out.

This product fits my 2013 Mazda Touring perfectly. The instructions was cut and dry and precise. Now, I can have more space for my children to move around when we're traveling.

Product seems great(installed but havent used yet). Instillation was easy and product was at my home days after my order was placed. Only issue with site is they send everything in my wifes name since she was the first to purchase from them.

Thank you, e-trailer!

Takes a little while to assemble the rack bars.
The stickers are great I can mark the positions after measuring the distance between the bars.
One of the screws is underneath the bar; it is hard to reach to tighten the bars.
Finally, I got the roof rack installed and it looks good.



by:

Pretty nice rack system. Held up to my 90lb canoe no problem. However a piece did fly off on the highway and the "locking" bar end cap can pull off super easy.
The directions were ok. There is some stuff you have to kind of figure out for yourself, mainly the roof trim. I plan to leave the rack on so I drilled theough the trim



by:

Just followed all the etrailer website prompts for my naked roof Toyota Matrix and it set me up with the three packages needed- rails legs and fitkit. Installed easily enough. I like the little arrow stickers hidden in the door jams for fast re-install later. Held two 10’ kayaks on a 2 hr journey with ease.



by:

This is a perfect fit for our 2015 Prius V with "naked" roof. Instructions were clear and accurate, and the bars are solid and able to support our canoe and kayak easily. We added the air deflector, as there was a bit of wind noise, but now there is none. Great product at much lower price than the big names.



by:

Absolutely love the Rhino Rack. Easy to install (watch the [online] video). Looks GREAT. Hauls my kayaks no problem. Very well made and I highly recommend this product.

  • Roof Rack Recommendations for a 2013 Mazda 5
    We have numerous roof rack options that will fit your 2013 Mazda 5 but SportRack does not have a fit. If your Mazda 5 has the fixed mounting points on a naked roof (a naked roof has no bars or rails at all) then the most popular roof rack is from Rhino-Rack using bars # RRVA118B-2, feet # RRRLKVA, and fit kit # DK285. If your Mazda 5 has the side rails that run front to back then the most economical roof rack option is from Rhino-Rack using bars # RRVA118B-2 and foot pack # RRSX100.

  • Roof Rack Recommendation For 2012 Mazda 5 With Fixed Mounting Points On Naked Roof
    The Rhino-Rack roof rack system you referenced is designed to install in the mounting points on the roof of your 2012 Mazda 5. For the 2500 Series Roof Rack with Aero Crossbars system you need parts # RRVA118B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK321. This roof rack has built-in locks in the legs that will secure the roof rack to the roof of the car and deter theft. For a roof rack that is quieter you may want to check out the Rhino-Rack system with Vortex Aero crossbars. This system features aerodynamic...

  • Roof Rack Recommendation for a 2009 Mazda 5 that uses the Factory Fixed Mounting Points
    I have exactly what you are looking for. You can use the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA118B-2 for black or # RRVA118S-2 for silver with the 2500 Series Leg Kit # RRRLKVA, and the Custom DK Clamps and Pads # DK285. This rack uses your fixed mounting points. I have attached a demonstration video of this roof rack on a similar vehicle to give you an idea on how it installs. The weight capacity of this rack is 165 pounds. Before loading any cargo on your roof, I recommend checking...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for 2007 Mazda 5 for Use with Hitch Bike Rack
    The type of hitch offered for the 2007 Mazda 5 is a light-duty 1-1/4-inch Class I type such as # 24773 from Draw-Tite. All Class I hitches have a maximum carrying capacity of 2 bikes. This has to do with the leverage that would be applied on the hitch from using a rack that holds more than two bikes. Damage to the hitch and/or car could result from carrying more than 2 bikes. The other option is to use a trunk-mount rack, but here again you run into a 3-bike limit due to the weight that...

  • 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,...

  • Roof Rack for 2020 Subaru Forester for Rhino-Rack Sunseeker Awning
    We have a great option for a roof rack for your 2020 Subaru Forester that is compatible with the Rhino-Rack Sunseeker Awning # RR32133. I recommend sticking with Rhino-Rack for the best fit with their products and because they are as high quality as the other "name" brands but at a better price. The correct rack will depend on if you have raised side rails on your Forester or a bare roof with no side rails at all.

  • Roof Rack Options For Carrying 2 Kayaks Flat On A 2020 Subaru Impreza Naked Roof

For black use # RRVA126B-2; you will also need Legs # RRRLKVA and Fit Kit # DK285. For a carrier that will allow you to mount your kayaks flat on the crossbars I recommend the Rhino-Rack Nautic 580 Side Loading Kayak Carrier # RR580. This carrier mounts into the T-slot channel on top of the Rhino-Rack Aero Crossbars which allows you to utilize...

  • Recommendation for Carrying 4 Bikes on a 2007 Mazda 5
    We cannot recommend installing more than 2 bikes on any of the Class I hitches that we carry. The manufacturer warranty would be voided and the weight of the items, and combined with the distance from the hitch cross tube, it could potentially damage the hitch or vehicle frame. A good 2 bike rack for the hitch would be the Thule Camber Bike Carrier, item # TH9058. You do have options for carrying 4 bikes though. If you used the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch, item # 24773, for two...

The bars are aero shaped too which means less wind noise. For a bike rack then we have the Rhino Rack Hybrid part # RRRBC050 which will allow you to keep both wheels installed.

  • Will Rhino-Rack Roof Rack Installed on 2012 Mazda 5 Interfere with Sunroof?
    As a matter of course, Rhino-Rack usually recommends not using the sunroof with a roof rack installed. Rhino-Rack didn't have any specific information about sun roof interference, but we can probably figure it out. The roof rack for your vehicle would use pre-existing attachment points on the vehicle roof that the # DK285 fit kits would connect to. Typically, there's a plastic strip that runs along the edge of the roof from front to back. You should see two small doors or removable plugs...

  • Will Thule Evolution Cargo Box Fit 2012 Mazda 5 with Fixed Mounting Points and Rhino-Rack Roof Rack
    The Thule Evolution cargo box has several sets of holes for the mounting feet. The maximum spread (center to center distance from one bar to the other) is at least 31 inches. Because the Rhino-Rack Euro-style bars are narrow enough the 32 inch bar spread on the 2012 Mazda 5 with fixed mounting points will be compatible with the box. In addition to # RRVA118B-2 you will also need # RRRLKVA, and custom installation kit # DK285 and the rack will attach directly to the fixed mounting points.

    For your 2017 Mazda 5 with a naked roof the Rhino Rack roof rack part numbers # RRVA118B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK285 is the roof rack I recommend. I really like the Rhino Rack roof racks as they give you a high quality roof rack at a lower price than the most expensive companies. If you were looking for a kayak carrier the Yakima JayLow # Y04073 is a great option. It can fold down when not in use and can carry two kayaks if ever needed as well.
