Will the Thule Passage Trunk Mount Bike Rack Fit a 2008 Mazda 5
Yes, the Thule Passage 2 trunk mount bike rack, # TH910XT, is listed as a fit for the 2008 Mazda 5. I have included a link to a video review of the rack for you. If you will be carrying any bikes that do not have a top frame tube that goes straight across (like a typical mens bike does) I recommend using adapter bar # TH982XT. This will allow you to carry those bikes more level. I use adapters similar to this and without them my wifes bike would be at a severe angle and I would not be...

Recommended Engine Block Heater For 2012 Mazda CX-5
It looks like you are interested in an engine heater for your 2012 Mazda CX-5. If you have 3/4 inch frost plug in your engine block, I recommend the Kat's Heaters Custom Engine Block Heater, part # KH11409 that will work great for you. You just replace the frost plug on your engine and plug the heater in. It provides 400 watts and keeps the engine fluids from becoming thick in cold weather.

The Rhino Rack roof rack part # RRVA118B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK285 is a confirmed fit for your 2012 Mazda 5 with a naked roof. Due to the height of the antenna on your roof you would need to remove it when carrying plywood on the roof.

Will the Yakima RocketBox Pro 12 or 14 Cargo Box Fit a 2006 Mazda 5 with Factory Crossbars
Like you have said, the RocketBox Pro 12 is not listed as a fit from Yakima so I cannot recommend using it on your 2006 Mazda 5. The RocketBox Pro 14, # Y07192, will fit the bars and bar spread. The minimum clearance from the center of the forward bar to the hatch will need to be at least 45 inches for the RocketBox Pro 14 so it will clear the hatch. Remember that part of the box will be forward of the front crossbar AND you can adjust the feet inside the box to be further back which makes...

Do Roof Mounted Cargo Bags Have to Fit In Between Roof Rack Crossbars on a 2009 Mazda 5
When mounting a cargo bag to the roof of a vehicle the best way to keep the bag from sliding back and forth during starts and stops is to have the bag mounted between the crossbars. Depending on how full the Thule Interstate bag, # TH869, is, you may be able to fit it in between the bars. Otherwise, the bag is long enough and rigid enough at the ends that it should not just ooze over the bars at the ends. I have included a link to a video review and another link to all the roof mount bag...

How Many Bikes Can Be Loaded on a Hitch-Mount Carrier Used on a Mazda 5 With Class I Hitch
A hitch-mount bike carrier may have a different bike-carrying capacity depending on the rating of the hitch into which it is installed. If the hitch is rated as Class I, then it can handle the weight of only two bikes, even if the carrier can actually hold 4 bikes. This limitation holds true even for kids bikes. The reason for the 2-bike limit on a Class I hitch has as much to do with the geometry of the carrier and hitch as it does the weight of the bikes. The further out from the hitch...

Can the Thule OutWay Carry a Mens and Kids Bike at the Same Time without an Adapter Bar
In all likelihood you would need to use an adapter bar # 64005 for the kids bike, especially if it is under 20 inches, on most 2-arm bike carriers including the OutWay # TH56BV. The width between the bars isn't an issue but carrying the bikes level would be. Without an adapter the bikes could be secured but the kids bike would likely be at an odd angle. That is what I have to do with the son's bike. Its really a piece of cake. I have included a link to a video review showing how the...

Why Does a Class II Hitch Mount Bike Rack Not Fit Into a Class I Trailer Hitch on a 2009 Mazda 5
The length of the shank from the pin hole back to the end of it on the Yakima RidgeBack, # Y02457, is too long to fit in a Class I trailer hitch and have the hitch pin holes line up. It physically will not fit a Class I hitch. It is a Class II accessory only when uses in a 1-1/4 inch receiver. Most Class I trailer hitches have a stop built into them that will prevent a user for installing a Class II accessory and overloading the hitch which can cause damage. I have included a picture to...

According to Thule, the Quickgrip mounts, that are used on the Thule Pulse XL Cargo Box, # TH615, will fit on bars that are 3-1/8" wide x 1-3/8" tall.

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,...

Class I Trailer Hitches for a 2009 Mazda 5 Do Not Work with Class II Accessories
Do not remove it. That nub is not there by mistake. It is a safety feature that is meant to prevent you from loading in a Class II accessory into a Class I trailer hitch. There is a picture of it on the product page (4th picture). A Class I hitch like # 24773 can potentially be overloaded. The addition of the nub makes sure you only can use Class I rated accessories. Class II accessories have a longer shank so they physically will not fit. Also, a Class I trailer hitch can only carry...

Will Thule Pulse XL Cargo Box Fit Dealer Crossbars on a 2012 Mazda 5
The Thule Pulse XL cargo box, # TH615 should fit the optional crossbars for your Mazda 5 as long as the distance between the bars is at least-5/8 inches on center. I recommend installing an aftermarket roof rack because it will be more cost effective. For your Mazda 5, you can use the economical Thule system consisting of the following parts: # TH712200, # TH460R, and # THKIT3080. Another option is the much more stylish and quieter WingBar system. It uses the same feet and fit kit only...

Will Yakima MegaWarrior Roof Basket # Y07080 Fit My 2010 Mazda 5 w/ Factory Roof Rack
Roof Top Baskets are not vehicle specific items. However, Yakima has done some testing with their roof baskets and the Yakima MegaWarrior, part # Y07080 will fit your 2010 Mazda 5 with factory roof rack, according to Yakima. To keep cargo secured to the basket, you may be interested in the Stretch Net for Yakima MegaWarrior # Y07081.

How To Carry 4 Bikes On A 2008 Mazda 5
I do have a couple options for you but Class I hitches like the Draw-Tite Class I Sport Frame part # 24773 that fits the 2008 Mazda 5 are designed to only carry 2 bikes because of it's limited tongue weight rating. The weight of the bikes and bike rack is all considered tongue weight on the hitch and putting 4 bikes on a rack in a Class I hitch would create too much leverage and possibly damage the hitch or vehicle. With that being said, I recommend to get a 2 bike rack for the Class I...

Since these mirrors only attach to the bottom of the door on your F-150, these mirrors will not interfere with your running boards. We do offer several options for custom fit towing mirrors that are confirmed as a fit for your truck. I have provided a link to those option for you as well.

Troubleshooting Turn Signals Not Working After Installing Curt Wiring Harness on 2009 Mazda 5
If just the turn signals are not working on your 2009 Mazda 5 after installing the Curt Wiring Harness # 56016 I would start by checking to see if you may have blown a fuse. According to the online version of the owner's manual I saw the turn signal lights are in position 50 in the engine compartment fuse block. Should the fuses not be an issue I believe the issue is likely a poor ground. It is important that the white ground wire be attached to a bare metal surface that is free of any...

Availability of Roof Rack and Soft Roof Cargo Bag For a 2012 Mazda 5
I spoke with my contact at Rola and he said that the Rola 59834 has not yet been tested as a fit on the 2012 Mazda 5, so I can not tell you if it will fit or not. I would recommend the Thule Roof Rack, part # TH460R, part # TH711200, and part # THKIT3080. This roof rack will attach to the preset mounting points on your 2012 Mazda 5. This roof rack has a weight capacity of 165 lbs, but anytime you will be hauling cargo on your roof you will want to check with the owners manual or the Mazda...
