Inno Aero Crossbars Installation - 2022 Mazda CX-9- Video
Hey everybody, Cooper here from etrailer. Today, we're going to be taking a look at the INNO Roof Rack System on our 2022 Mazda CX-9. Now, if you want to carry around some accessories on your roof, like maybe a kayak carrier, a bike rack, or maybe some sort of cargo bin up on top of our roof, the first thing we're going to need is a roof rack system like we have on here today. Taking a quick look at it, we can tell that we do have some arrow crossbars here, which does mean that they just start off a little fatter in the front and kind of taper off towards the back. This is just to help cut down on that wind noise and drag that comes with putting something on top of your roof. Now, with some roof rack systems, they are kind of more flexible in their placement, so you can move them around your roof. more

Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars Installation - 2021 Mazda CX-5- Video
Hey everybody, how's it going Today we're gonna be going over and showing you how to install the Thule WingBar Evo crossbar system here on a 2021 Mazda MX-5 with bare roof. Now I personally think it looks really well with this vehicle here, and particularly the black crossbars due to the darker paint scheme we do have on the vehicle. But if you have a lighter paint scheme, or you just prefer the lighter crossbar option, this system is available with silver crossbars as well. This system here, the wing bars, these are an arrow shaped crossbar. So there's a few different arrow shaped crossbar options on the market, but what I think Thule does really well is that they kind of go one step further. The shape or the contour of our crossbars here mimics an airplane wing. more

Thule Traverse Roof Rack Installation - 2015 Mazda CX-5- Video
Today on our 2015 Mazda CX-5, we'll be test fitting the Thule Traverse roof rack system using part numbers THLV50, Th480, and THKIT1721. We'll begin our test fit by placing the front load bar onto the front of our roof. We'll need to measure 11 and 1/4 inches from the leading edge of the front windshield to the first part of our foot pack. We're going to make this measurement on both the passenger and driver's side of the vehicle to ensure the front load bar is perpendicular to the roof. Once we have it in place, we're going to use the included tensioning tool to tighten down the silver bolt on the inside of our foot to bring the clips tightly up against the roofline. Now we'll need to alternate sides when tightening it down just to make sure the bar doesn't favor one side of the vehicle. With this done, we can then place the rear load bar onto the rear of our roof and measure the load bar spread. The load bar spread is the measurement from the center of the front load bar to the center of the rear load bar and is important when choosing roof rack accessories. Once we've made this measurement on both sides, we'll again use the included tensioning tool to tighten down the silver bolt to bring the clips up tightly against the roofline. Once everything is all tightened down and secured, that'll complete today's test fit of the Thule Traverse roof rack system using part numbers THLV50, TH480 and THKIT1721 on a 2015 Mazda CX-5. more
