  • Bike Carrying Options for 2003 Mazdaspeed Protege with Tall Factory Spoiler
  • Most typical options will not work with a large spoiler, however, carrying the bikes on the vehicle roof would also be an alternative. Combining the SportRack Frontier Roof Rack, part # SR1002 with two roof mounted racks like the Swagman # S64720 would allow you to carry two bikes on the roof of your Mazdaspeed Protege.

  • Will a Trailer Hitch Fit a 2001 Mazda Protege with MP3 Body Kit
  • If the body kit that you have is lower than the standard rear fascia on a 2001 Mazda Protege, then the only way you will be able to install a trailer hitch is by trimming the body kit to allow access to the receiver. You could then use the Hidden Hitch trailer hitch, # 60927, that comes with a ball mount, pin, and clip. For a ball you can use # 19256 for 1-7/8 inch diameter or # 19258 for a 2 inch diameter. I have included links to the installation instructions for both hitches for you...

This will give you the physical connection and then you will also need to add safety cables # RM-643. There are a...

  • Recommended Tire Chains for 2002 Mazda Protege
  • Yes, we sell our tire chains as a set of two chains, one for each tire on the same axle. If your Mazda owner's manual says your car can use chains on all four tires then you would order two sets to equip all four tires with chains. Your 2002 Mazda Protégé came with two stock tire size options, either 195/50-16 or 195/55-15. Before selecting chains check your tire size (its indicated on the tire sidewall) and review your owner's manual for any guidance regarding use of tire chains on your...

  • Will The Thule Outbound Roof Cargo Bag Fit On A Mazda Protege 5 With Factory Crossbars
  • The Thule Outbound Roof Cargo Bag, part # TH868, could work on your Mazda Protege 5 with crossbars that are 30 inches apart. I spoke with my contact at Thule and she said that when you install the cargo bag you would line the front of the bag with the front crossbar and attach the straps to the front crossbar. Then, you will drape the bag over the rear crossbar and attach the straps to the rear crossbar. When you attach the rear straps you will be pulling the bag underneath the crossbars...

  • Roof Mount Cargo Bag Recommendation for a 2001 Mazda Protege
  • The 18 cubic foot Rightline cargo bag # RL100S30 might be a little too large for the roof of your 2001 Mazda Protégé. But you can measure the roof to find out for sure. This bag measures 48 inches long, 40 inches wide, and is 19 inches tall. If the roof is at least 48 x 40 inches then this bag would fit. If it is too large you could step down to the 15 cubic foot model, # RL100S20, which is 44 inches long and 36 inches wide. I am sure that one of these 2 bags will work. For any of them...
