Recommended Roof Rack System For a 2023 Mazda CX-9 Without Factory Roof Rails

Question:

There are so many roof rack options for my 2023 CX9. Can you tell me which one you recommend? I do not have any rails on my roof.

I prefer the Thule WingBar Evo as opposed to other racks on your 2023 Mazda CX-9. These crossbars utilize a 2 piece seal on the t-track channel which does not need trimmed when using channel mounted accessories. This allows you to quickly and easily remove different mounts for all your different accessories. Here is a list of the parts you will need for your Mazda.

Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 53" Long # TH711420
Evo Clamp Feet for Thule Crossbars - Naked Roofs # TH710501
Fit Kit for Thule Evo Clamp Roof Rack Feet # TH145068

Be sure to get the Thule One-Key System Lock Cylinders # TH450800. This particular kit allows you to install 4 of the cylinders on each of your legs and have 4 other keyed alike locks for your Thule One-Key accessories.
