Will the Yakima RocketBox Pro 12 or 14 Cargo Box Fit a 2006 Mazda 5 with Factory Crossbars
Question:
We have a 2006 Mazda 5 with factory crossbars set at 32inch and they are not adjustable. Will this box fit? Yakima website says it wont. From the front bar to the hatch, it measures 66. Will the Yakima Rocketbox Pro 14 be too long or would that be a better fit since it adjusts between 24 and 40 inches?

Expert Reply:
Like you have said, the RocketBox Pro 12 is not listed as a fit from Yakima so I cannot recommend using it on your 2006 Mazda 5.
The RocketBox Pro 14, # Y07192, will fit the bars and bar spread. The minimum clearance from the center of the forward bar to the hatch will need to be at least 45 inches for the RocketBox Pro 14 so it will clear the hatch. Remember that part of the box will be forward of the front crossbar AND you can adjust the feet inside the box to be further back which makes the box even more forward.
I have included a link to a video review of the RocketBox Pro 14 for you.
