Will The Rola Rex Rail Mounts Work On A 2018 Mazda CX-5 With Flush Roof Rails

Question:

Will ROLAs REX Side Rail Mounts work on a 2018 Mazda CX-5 with the flush roof rails? I have an existing pair of cross bars from my old Mazda 5 with Anchor Point Mount I would like to use on my newer CX-5. Thanks for your time.

The Rola Rex side rail mounts are not compatible with the 2018 Mazda CX-5 factory flush rails. You would need to replace the cross bars and feet. I recommend the Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars - Aluminum - Silver - 47" Long - Qty 2 Item # TH711200, Rapid Podium Feet for Thule Crossbars - Fixed Point - Qty 4 Item # TH460R, Fit Kit for Thule Podium-Style Roof Rack Feet - 3160 Item # THKIT3160.
