Thule Roof Rack for a 2013 Mazda 3, 5-Door Hatchback

Question

Question:

Can you tell me whether the Thule Podium Feet Pack will be compatible with a 2013 Mazda 3 5-dr hatchback? The GM roof rails are not available for this model - their roof rack accessories are limited to a removable, locking roof rack.

The Thule Rapid Podium feet, # TH460R, are listed as a fit for the 2013 Mazda 3, 5-door hatchback. These feet fit in the factory fixed mounting points on the roof of the vehicle. If you want to go with Thule SquareBars then you will need the following parts:

Rapid Podium feet # TH460R
47 inch SquareBars # TH712200
Fit kit # THKIT3069

If you want to go with aerodynamic WingBars for less wind noise then you will need the following parts:

Podium feet # TH460R
47 inch WingBars # TH711200 in silver or # TH711220 in black
Fit kit # THKIT3069

There is also a third option for Thule that combines the AeroBlade bars and a more streamlined foot pack. For this system you will need the following parts:

AeroBlade Edge Roof Rack, # TH7603-TH7603
Fit kit # THKIT3069
