Is There a Compatible Fit for Thule 400xtr on 2016 Mazda 3?
Question:
Hi, I am trying to determine how/if I can use my current Thule 400xtr Rapid Aero on my newer car. I contacted Thule directly and they havent been any help. I had my setup originally on a 2005 Mazda 3 sedan and I now have a 2016 Mazda 3 sedan. It is in fine shape aside from some possible replacement parts that etrailer carries. I figured that there might just be a fit kit I could use to make it compatible, but Thule doesnt have any info for the 400xtr for cars after 2009. Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

If Thule still made fit kits for your Rapid Aero Towers you would likely just need a fit kit, but they stopped making those towers and fit kits in 2009 as you stated so no vehicles newer than that have a compatible fit.
For your 2016 Mazda 3 if you have fixed mounting points the only roof rack we have available is from Yakima using the JetStream bars either part # Y00425. Then use parts # Y53TR and # Y00248 for the towers and landing pads.
