Expert Answers about Mazda CX-3


  • What Supports Bumper Fascia After Curt Trailer Hitch is Installed on a 2016 Mazda CX-3
  • With Curt hitch # C11418 installed on a 2016 Mazda CX-3 the lower fascia is still attached elsewhere on the vehicle and it will also be resting on top of the hitch receiver. There isn't room to replace the brackets that were removed to install the hitch. It does not appear to be an issue with Draw-Tite hitch # 24933 and I have linked that video for you as well. If you want to use the hitch for an accessory such as a bike rack or cargo carrier then you have to make sure the accessory...

  • Curt or Draw Tite Hitch Recommendation for 2017 Mazda CX-3 for Bike Rack
  • For a bike rack the Draw Tite part # 24933 is the better choice as Curt requires a stabilizer strap like part # 18050 with their Class I hitches when carrying a non-supported load like a bike rack. You'll be much happier with the Draw Tite over the Curt.

  • Is 12V Power Connection Required for Tekonsha T-One 4-Pole Wiring Harness 118718 to Function
  • Yes, the Tekonsha T-One 4-Pole Wiring Harness # 118718 will work fine to power LED lights on a trailer or accessory carrier used with your 2019 Mazda CX-3 but it does require the 12V power wire connection in order to function. The plug-in connectors will take in the car's lighting signals which essentially serve as switches to tell the converter to send lighting power out to the 4-pole.

  • Do the Rhino-Rack Roof Racks for a 2018 Mazda CX-3 Install/Uninstall Easily
  • The Rhino-Rack roof rack part # RR46XR actually have a fairly easy installation which also means that they can be removed fairly easily. If you check out the attached installation video (mark 3:28) of a similar Rhino-Rack roof rack, which consists of parts # RRVA118B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK384 for your CX-3, on a 2016 Mazda CX-5 you can see that there is one bolt/screw that secures each leg onto the roof of your 2018 Mazda CX-3. It wouldn't be too much to take the crossbars off if you wanted...

  • The Rhino-Rack RS 2500 Vortex Aero Roof Rack that fits your 2016 Mazda CX-3, part # RR46XR, installs in the fixed mounting points on your CX-3's roof tracks. This lets the rack have a more OEM-like appearance. This rack does not use the door jamb for mounting like universal-type roof racks often do. Installation requires temporarily removing, drilling and re-inserting the roof ditch mould to allow the rack hardware to reach through to the fixed mounting points that are under the ditch...

  • Is It a Problem if Yakima Hitch Bike Rack Tilts Slightly to One Side
  • On your Yakima Hold-Up Bike Rack # Y02445 and others with an anti-rattle feature the anti-rattle device in the shank applies pressure to push the rack's shank against the inside of the hitch receiver tube. This pressure can cause some slight tilting of the rack, especially if the hitch tube is not perfectly level. This in itself is not a problem. Your hitch has no adjustment capability; it has one place to install and no user-adjustments are possible.
