Expert Reply:
For your 2016 Mazda 3 Hatchback with factory fixed mounting points the roof rack that you referenced that is part numbers # DS126B and # DK410 has been confirmed as a fit and would be an excellent economical option.
If instead you wanted something a bit more aerodynamic that would cut down on wind noise and fuel mileage loss the Rhino Rack roof rack that consists of part numbers # RRVA126B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK410 would be an even better option.
The Thule Stacker part # TH830 that you also mentioned would fit either rack option mentioned and would be a great option for carrying up to 2 kayaks.
