220 LBS Fixed Points Roof Rack Cross Bars Fits Mazda 3 Hatchback / Sedan 2010-2026

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 understand that some people have had some trouble installing these bars. It's not hard just use your head, and be smart about it. Understand the dimensions, and buy the bar accordingly. If your buying this for a Mazda 3 2014 hatchback. It fits and works great!! Absolutely love these bars! I got mine for a pretty decent sized roof rack I would definitely recommend this product 100 percent!!

I didn't want to pay for an OEM rack for the mazda, so I went with the Erkul roof rack. I thought it was going to be difficult, but in about 30 minutes or less I had it installed. I had some noise starting about 75-80mph on the freeway, but besides that. It was good and looking to take advantage of the extra storage

I used Amazon Auto to specify my exact vehicle type before ordering. I'm glad I spent a little more for this kit instead of buying a less expensive generic fit one. The kit that arrived was specifically for my vehicle. All of the parts and the crossbars were for my model vehicle. The bolts supplied were the correct size and no extensions were supplied/needed. The crossbars were the correct length, no cutting necessary. The installation took about a hour total. Short video and pics show the finished install to give a feel for the kit.

It's not mind-blowing, but it's a solid, reliable choice that gets the job done.
