Rear bar does not fit my 2021 mazda3. Requires additional washers to get a tight fit. Does not come with required molding so you have to get that from the dealer. Gotta find a way to cut the crossbar down so it'll fit because I already installed one.

When I got the package it was all beat up and when I opened it it didn't have any of its wrapping so it was refurbished and I paid for it brand new. It was all dinged up. And when I try to install it into my car roof it use such cheap screws. It broke off in the part that screws into the roof and I was only using my hands to start with. Now I can't do any kind of roof rack because the screw is stuck in it and I can't get it out. Worsted product I ever bought

they came at a good price and the installation was easy to figure out even though the instructions were vague. biggest issue was the rear bar supplied was about a half inch longer and needed to be cut to fit. Besides that they look fine and can mount a kayak pretty secure.

Looks great, fits perfectly with no modifications needed on my 2016 Mazda 3 sedan. Just be sure to screw the extensions onto the cars mounting sleeves and install the wider bar towards the front, one is definitely a few inches shorter and only fits in the rear

Assembly: It took 40 minutes to install....It's not hard to install and I am not sure why everyone is saying you need to cut them to fit đ
. There is one short one for the back and a longer one for the front. I would suggest watching the installation video and ignoring the included instructions. đQuality: It's a $200 roof rack system but looks and feels a good quality. I have yet to haul anything with them, but the pull and tug test gave me confidence that my box/snowboards will be secure on these racks.Important Tip: The black strip that you need to remove to install the racks can be reinserted if you drill some holes in the same location for where the screws insert. Just drill a pilot hole and increase the drill size into you can insert the extension screw through it. Do these for all 4 points.Overall: I would highly recommend buying these, the price point is awesome, and they look quite sharp. Who Know's how they'll hold up to Canadian winters but for the price can't be beat.

Item was easy to install. Good fit. The only issue was it's a universal item. The rubber on the bottom isn't a great fit where it meets the top of the car. But everything else is great!

I bought it for a 2018 Mazda 4-doors.Revision: Costumer service reach me and fix the issue.The front bar seems too short for this model. The instruction booklet specify an adjustment between 1 and 2 cm gap on each side but the bar i received have a gap of 3,5 cm on each side when centered so iâm not certain if is it safe.

PlutÎt facile à installer, mais avec de meilleurs outils que ceux fournis. TrÚs solide une fois en place et parfaitement intégré à la voiture. Elles vont rester là . Beaucoup moins dispendieux que j'aurais cru pour la qualité.

FĂĄcil de instalar siempre y cuando no utilices la llave allen que trae, es de pĂ©sima calidad. Yo utilicĂ© una Husky, que ni se barre, como la que viene. El plĂĄstico de las cubiertas es muy fĂĄcil de arrancar con un desarmador. AsĂ que la cerradura no sirve de nada. Esas cubiertas deberĂan ser de metal. Fuera de eso, las barras cumplen con su funciĂłn. Yo he transportado escaleras y todo bien.

1 of 4 roof extension stud for 2020 Mazda 3 was wrong in size. Difference is few microns I believe. 3 went into car roof hole easily. 4th didn't go in. Tried charging the location, same result. Rather it caused damage to roof hole which I am concerned about more than the item. Also a screw in part (F) was missing in the box which I didn't care much as I had similar tool in my collection. It's just mind boogling to see how the seller is charging a high price but not paying attention to assemble the package.

This is a great quality roof rack, and I'm comparing this to yakima bars I owned for a short time!The noise quality is present, but only slightly more than Yakima.The rubber insert along the bars length allows for external mounting adaptations, is made from sturdy metal, has a decent locking mechanism, and does not scratch/scuff my roof. Is it as great as Yakima/Thule products, maybe not, not by a long shot I'm sure. I haven't but my cargo bag or bicycle on it yet, but I can't imagine these bars breaking under than weight at all!If you are on the fence and think you may want to get a higher end roof rack, all I gotta say is I've been there. After having both, these do the job just fine and make your wallet happy in the process!For nearly 1/8th the price, these bad boys are just right!

I bought these for my 2010 Mazda 3 i-Touring sedan. It was a pretty straightforward installation. The direction booklet is a little off (doesn't reflect all of the pieces that come with it and they don't match the photos), but everything you need is there. You will need to remove your weather stripping window seals.At first, I thought the M6 screws and matching male-female coupling/standoff nuts did not fit with my car (the fit was tight at first and I didn't want to strip the thread by forcing it); however, I used a socket wrench which provided enough torque and it fits perfectly.Couple of notes, make sure the locks are set in the unlocked position putting the plastic cover on; otherwise, it won't go on and will break the plastic. Driving around with just the rack on, I do notice wind noise starting at 50mph but it's pretty quiet.It feels sturdy and I haven't loaded it up yet, but I'll report back once I actually put the luggage carrier on etc.

I bought this for my 2013 mazda 3 I sport sedan. It was relatively easy to install and only took about an hour. There are a few things that will make installation easier. I initially had a hard time getting the ends on the crossbars but I ended up loosening the screw and pushing the back plate a little, which allowed the bar to slide in easier. Make are you tighten the screw once you get the bar in. There were also extra pieces with no instructions on what they were for. I figured out that they screw in to the mounting points on my car so the screws could go into them. Otherwise the screws were a little too short. Overall, it was easy enough to install and it's sturdy so it beats paying $300+ for a different set of crossbars.Edit: The screw extenders snapped the first time I loaded a kayak. Do yourself a favor and go hardware store and get one solid screw that's long enough. Home Depot has limited metric sizes and didn't have one long enough. I found one that fit at True Value, it was a 6mm thread and 90mm length. Despite the cheap bolts, this thing is still a great deal. I've been using it for months with the new bolts and have had no issues.
