The Rightline Gear 18-Cu-Ft Weatherproof Rooftop Cargo Bag, part # RL100S30, is a great choice in a rooftop cargo bag for your Mazda 6. This water-tight 48 x 40 x 19-inch zippered cargo bag can attach to virtually any vehicle roof thanks to its flexible strap mounting system.

For your application on the bare roof of your 2009 Mazda 6 sedan you will run the straps through the interior of the vehicle and around the bag to secure it to your roof. If you prefer not to run straps through the vehicle you can simply add a set of car clips, part # RL100600. These fit on the mounting straps and grab the edges of your roof line to secure the bag.

We recommend using a non-skid protective pad along with any rooftop cargo bag. A non-skid pad such as the Rightline # RL100650 will both help the bag resist movement due to wind and also protect your Mazda 6 paint from potential scratches. It is a good idea to thoroughly wash the roof (and clean the underside of the cargo bag) before each use in order to reduce the potential for trapped dirt to scratch the vehicle finish.

Often customers that choose rooftop accessories will also select a tire step. An item such as the Topline # TH2100 slips on one of the rear tires to make loading and unloading of your cargo easier. The lightweight aluminum Topline step folds flat for storage, requires no assembly and supports up to 400 lbs.

We offer cargo bags in a range of sizes; for your reference I have linked our page for all weather-proof bags that can mount to a bare roof.
