Roof Rack Recommendation for 2016 Mazda CX-5 to attach Rola Cargo Basket # 59504

Question

Question:

Hello, My wife has a 2016 Mazda CX5 without the crossbars installed. We would like to attach a roof basket to the car for camping. Which crossbars would you recommend to purchase and put on the car so we can attach the Rola Basket #59504 too. Thank you,

An Inno rack for your 2016 Mazda CX-5 would work great to carry the Rola cargo basket part # 59504 that you referenced. For that you'd want the part number # INB127 and # INFR for if you have raised side rails or the part # INB127, # INSUT, and # INK758 for if you have a naked roof. I really like the Inno roof racks as they provide a higher quality roof rack at a better price.
