Roof Racks Mazda 3 Hatchback
There is lots of choice for roof racks to suit the popular Mazda 3. All Mazda 3s up to 2015 conveniently come with a simple mounting screw hidden beneath 4 small covers in the roof. The mounting point is a 6mm threaded hole that roof racks can simply be screw in place. The options are generally split into 2 styles. Roof racks which have a cross bar that ends flush with the end support and those that have a cross bar that go beyond the end support. The flush ended racks are designed for sporty locks and aesthetics while through bars are more functional. They allow for wider loads and some customers like to use the overhanging part as a fixed point for lashing down the load.
Many of the roof racks for a Mazda 3 are held in stock but a few varieties may need to be ordered. This is often overnight but generally a couple of days is all that is needed to get bars in.

Fitting tips for Mazda 3 Roof Racks
Before fitting the racks give the area around the mountings holes a wash down so that the area has no traces of grit that may cause the roof rack to scratch.
Roof racks for Mazda 3 (up until 2014) simply screw into the mounting holes provided in the roof. The mounting is a 6mm threaded hole. Before attempting to fit the roof racks we recommend giving each thread a squirt of WD40 or similar and run one of the screws provided down each hole to ensure the thread is clean and the rack can be attached without binding. Stripping one of these threads would be a real headache to fix up so it is worth the couple of minutes to check they are all good before you start.
