Will the SportRack Vista XL Cargo Box Work on a 2007 Mazda 3, 5-Door with a Thule Rapid Aero Bars
Question:
Will this rack fit using a Thule 460R Podium foot pack, RB47 Rapid Aero load bar, using the fixed points in the rain tracks? I really need a high capacity cargo box, and like this one!

Expert Reply:
The Rapid Aero Thule Load Bars measure about 2-1/8 inches wide. The SportRack Vista XL Cargo Box, # SR7018, will fit on crossbars that are 4 inches or less wide, so it will fit Rapid Aero bars as long as the vehicle crossbar spread is 25-7/8", 27-7/8", or29-7/8" on center. On a 2007 Mazda 3, 5 door, the bar spread is within this range.
The box has a capacity of 110 pounds. Chances are that your roof will have a different capacity and the rack itself will have yet another capacity. Out of the three, whichever one is lowest capacity is the one you need to go by.
