Video of Thule Podium Roof Rack Installation - 2006 Mazda 5

Alright, today on this 2006 Mazda 5 we're going to do a test fit of Thule Roof Rack System. We're using the Thule Podium Roof-mounted Foot Pack and Thule Square Load bars part no. THLB50, TH460, THKIT3080. Okay to start off our test fit we're going to remove the covers for the 6 points that are on the roof. They basically just slide and we pop them up out of the way. Next we'll go ahead and start the threaded rod that comes with the fit kit from Thule into to the provided threaded holes in the roof.
With a roof rack loosely assembled according to the instructions we'll go ahead and place it onto the threaded rod that we installed into the roof. Now we'll go ahead and tighted down 2 screws that are on the side at the base. Now we'll lock the cross bar to the foot pack. Okay, now we'll go ahead and install our covers. Okay, first half of the roof rack is installed, now we'll go ahead and move on to the second half repeating the same identical steps.
Okay with our roof rack fully installed, we'll go ahead and get ahead and get the measurement on how much height is added to the roof line and this measurement looks like 4 1/2 inches. With that, that will finish it for a test fit of a Thule roof rack system on a 2006 Mazda 5 with a Thule roof rack.

ETrailer web site made product selection simple, delivery was even faster than expected, and they kept me informed of order progress via e-mail from start to finish. Thule roof rack system fit perfectly and was easy to assemble and install. Haven't used Rightline cargo bag yet, but construction and materials appear to be robust and well-designed. Overall an outstanding experience.29728

Great service provided here are etrailer.com. I am very happy with my order. I ordered the product on Monday at like 11:00AM and chose the free 5-7 day shipping. They gave me 3-5 day shipping for free and had the product shipped out that day!!! I got it on Thursday with everything I order. There were no issues with anything. They emailed me like 1 hour after the product arrived to make sure everything was good. I would definitely buy here again, and refer my friends to etrailer.com.25272

Easy to install and great price over the standard VW one for sale. Saved about $100. Recommend it to anyone who has rails that come stock on the vehicle and just need bars. 25174

These roof rack bars are easy to use and put on/take off the car - I got them for a Subaru Outback. My wife can easily install them, too. (We like to take them off when we don't need them b/c they cause a low whistling sort of sound when you drive.) The delivery was really quick. I am totally satisfield with etrailer and the product I ordered.52204

My load bars came with a crack in the one of the bars. I called customer service and they indicated they would send me a new set. The customer was very prompt with my request. I hope to receive the new set so I can install and use.61423
