Question:

Expert Reply:
If you have the fixed mounting points there's little spacers along the top of your roof inside the black trim piece. They'll be right above the center of the front and back windows. I linked a video below of a Rhino-Rack roof rack being installed that shows the locations of these mounting points. You'll want to skip ahead to the 39 second mark to see how to find them.
To add a Thule roof rack to your 2014 Mazda 3 Hatchback with or without fixed mounting points you will need the following parts:
Thule WingBar Edge Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - Qty 2 item # TH69FE
Edge Clamp Feet for Thule Edge Crossbars - Naked Roof - Qty 4 item # TH79SC
Fit Kit for Thule Evo Clamp and Edge Clamp Roof Rack Feet - 5002 item # TH145002
This roof rack fits your car whether or not you have the mounting points so you'll be good either way. Thule doesn't make a roof rack that uses them. These clamp inside your cars door frame with custom fit clips.
