Expert Reply:
To add a bike rack to your 2004 Mazda 6 hatchback, I recommend the Hollywood Racks Express 3 Bike Carrier item # HRE3. Like all rear window mounted bike racks, this one has a 35 lbs capacity per bike. This bike rack weighs only 11 lbs so you won't have to worry about it damaging the rear of your car. It has adjustable arms and uses six straps to secure the rack to your Mazda.
I have linked a couple of review videos below so you can see the functions and features of this bike rack demonstrated.
If you have heavier bikes or e-bikes you'll need to add a hitch item # C11308 and use the Thule Easyfold item # TH903202. This is our highest capacity hitch and bike rack for your 2004 Mazda 6.
