Roof Rails & Cross Bars fit for Mazda CX5 CX-5 2017-2025

I had a really hard time with these roof rails. The left side went on beautifully, no issues. The right side....I think my right one was not completely straight, because it did not seem to fit at all like the left one did. It did not seem to have enough curve in it to sit flush. The rear end would not go down like it was supposed to at all. I had to go buy longer bolts in order to attach the side rails. Since it was so raised up the bolts that came with it wouldn't reach to start threading. It took me like 4 hours to get one side rail installed because of this. Extremely frustrating!Update 6/17/22The seller sent out replacement side rails. The new one fit perfectly and had no issues. 1st one was just a dud, but seller did good on fixing the issue. Got the crossbars on easily too without problems. The roof rack is very sturdy and seems very durable and high quality material. Thank you Snixwoo for fixing my issue and making it right!

Was going on a long trip and needed the extra space on top of the car to pack a roof carrier. My last car had the racks but for some reason my 2018 Mazda Cx-5 did not come with them. Talked to the dealer who wanted to charge close to $1,000 to put on the rack and cross bar. Searched the web and this seemed like the best buy for the combined items, which was an advantage to not have to mix and match purchases. There were no reviews yet but I was willing to try or the price and convenience of receiving quickly from Amazon. We were not disappointed. These are high quality pieces that were easy to put on the car. A few things. There were limited, poorly written directions so we went online and found a youtube video to help. The screws are very small and we did not have a magnetized electric screwdriver, so there was some frustration with trying to get the screws in right. If you have the right tools, this woule be a very quick install. As it was, it only took us about an hour to install -- quick, easy, and works perfectly. Highly recommend.

This is a great product. It fits very well a CX-5 2024. Materials are very good, all metal. The only plastic you get are this little caps that you put in place to cover this holes on the side bars (long ones). I honestly have no idea what was the need to have those openings/holes there.Other than that, the installation is simple and quick. I did it in 2 parts, so it would feel less tedious and also because my garage was super hot. First, I did the side bars (long ones). I used simple pliers to grab the screws by the head and place them in place. This prevented them from falling into that groove that many mention. I did not have any problems. I got them all started and at the end I tightened them up from the trunk to the front. It all felt in place smoothly.The next morning, I did the cross bars. After reading all the comments I was expecting all sort of problems but truth to be told, it couldn’t have been easier and simpler.Tips:1. if you are short get a tall ladder so you can see where the heads of the screws are to tighten them up.2. Also always place all the screws, start them but leave them somehow a bit loose so you have room to move/adjust whatever you need.3. It was very useful to watch a YouTube video:“How to install a roof rack on a 2017+ Mazda CX-5 with NO TOOLS”The video mentions that they had to apply force to place the front crossbar. I did not need to do that.

looks good on the vehicle, will fit a 2023 CX 5, only issue is with the cross bar rail screws will not have room to tighten unless you have a flexible extension and tip. Over all not bad, looks great.

It was pretty easy to install the roof rails. The cross bars weren't too bad. The reason I'm giving this a 1 star is because one of the holes to connect the cross bars was not manufactured properly and I couldn't get the bolt to thread through. Because of this, I have to take off the cross bars and the roof rail. At this point I just decided to send it all back! Such a waste of time

The products (rails & crossbars) take about 1 to 2 hours to install. The crossbars were a little more difficult because of the accessibility. Overall, quite easy though. They black rails and crossbars look incredibly sleek on my gray CX5. The items were delivered quickly and were packaged nicely. The instructions were easy to understand. They note a 165 pound weight limit, which should be plenty. The front crossbars does overlook the sunroof, although the sunroof is still fully functional. This is a great product and probably equal to and half the price of OEM (Mazda) brand. This is the only company/brand that offered black rails, which was the deciding factor.

Overall, I am satisfied with this product BUT I went through so much hassle. I should mention I own a 2018 Mazda CX-5 AWD Grand Touring. TL;DR: THIS PRODUCT IS NOT OPTIMIZED FOR THIS MODEL. BUYER BE ADVISED.To begin, instructions are somewhat clear. My biggest issue was interpetting how to orient the metal spaces over the weld nuts–up or down? The illustration will easily fool you to think up, reading reviews and watching Youtube videos will reveal this common confusion. I spent 1+ hours trying to fit the rails on with the metal spaces in the wrong orientation that—to no surprise—was not correct. Only referencing an outside source, a Youtube video, helped me correct this.Second, the bolts to mount the rail to the weld nut measures almost exactly the length to reach the weld nut. Sounds nice in theory, but in practice is cumbersome as you have to apply downward pressure to engage the bolt into the nut. Another problem with a relatively short bolt is that when you place them through the opening slot in the rail, you might lose the bolt in the hollow space of the rail. A very frustrating procedure to fetch the bolt that requires you to unmount the entire rail. If the bolt was longer, it'd be easier to guide it into the hole.Third, most frustrating portion of installing, is the length of the crossbars which are identical! I don't know if this was a manufacturing error. I received both crossbars which were equal in length. This is a problem because from front to back the rails taper. I had no issues installing the front crossbar, BUT the back was a nightmare. Even after I adjusted the crossbars to the shortest possible length, leaving the bolts out, the bar hung over both sides of the rails (??). I attempted to push the back crossbar, fitting it from the front where it would fit nicely. There was NO chance I could manually push the crossbar so it would align with the bolt holes. I had to stop pushing the crossbar back because at a certain point the railing itself was starting to BEND. Even more frustrating, I ended up scraping, denting the rail as a result (see photo). As a last ditch effort, I used a jigsaw to cut 3/4". And voila, after 2 painstaking hours the bar was snug over the bolt holes. If this wasn't a manufacturer error, please remove that it fits a 2018 Mazda CX-5.Fourth, I don't have a solution for this but the design can certainly be improved to allow the installation of the crossbars onto the rails to be easier. Unless you have power tools, turning the allen wrench to tighten any of the bolts is extremely time consuming as you can only rotate the wrench maybe 30-40 degrees each turn. This happens because the bolt hole is located between your car's roof and the crossbar—an extremely narrow space! Maybe if the bolt holes were located on top, clear of an obstacles, the installation would be less tedious.Overall, the roof rack feels bomber and solid, BUT the instruction and installation was a nightmare. This whole process took me almost 5 hours from start to finish. Even if you properly orientated the spacers, didn't lose any bolts in the rail, and the crossbars were appropriate length, you'd be LUCKY to finish this in less than an hour by yourself. ALL BUYERS PLEASE BE AWARE.

The instructions are almost useless, they skip over several important steps, but I expected this from reading reviews and found a YouTube video VERY helpful.That given, it was not too difficult - took my husband and I under 2 hours. Looks wise it’s fantastic. It does not interfere with my sunroof. As for durability I haven’t done anything too heavy yet, just a luggage bag but it did the job.Overall, I love the look it’s added to my 2024 Mazda CX-5.

Install is relatively easy. Some bolts are a little hard to install.

Product rusted out after 1 year of use. Save your money or spend the extra for something proper. Seller has been unresponsive and Amazon won’t assist.
