I would be happy to help!
For the Rhino-Rack Roof Rack System On your 2018 Mazda CX-5 which uses 46" Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA118B-2, RCL Legs # RRRCL4, and Fit Kit # RRRCP48-BK I recommend the Rhino-Rack Masterkey Lock Barrels - Keyed Alike - Qty 4 # RRRK059-4.
These Lock Barrels will replace the plastic locks on the caps of the crossbars, and will provide better security for any accessories you mount in the t-channel of the crossbars. The plastic locks included with the crossbars are not the most secure thing in the world, and can be bypassed allowing a theif to remove them and take any accessories you have mounting the crossbars.
The # RRVA-LEC4 is the same lock barrels but includes new caps. Since you already have caps there is not really a reason to by these over just the barrels.
I included a video of this roof rack being installed on a similar 2016 Mazda CX-5 for you to take a look at.
