How Does Rhino-Rack Attach to 2023 Mazda CX-5 With Naked Roof
Products Featured in This Question
Question:
How would this Rhino-Rack roof rack attach to my 2023 CX-5? I don't see any kind of mounting points on there or understand how it would stay secure. I don't have any kind of rails or anything just a bare roof. Thanks.

Expert Reply:
On your 2023 Mazda CX-5 there are screw holes located underneath the trim piece that runs front to back on either side of the roof. The Rhino-Rack fit kit uses these for fixed mounting points to keep the rack secure. For a complete rack you will need the following:
-Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA118B-2
-RCL Legs for Rhino-Rack Crossbars # RRRCL4
-Custom RCP Fit Kit for 4 Rhino-Rack RC and RV Series Roof Rack Legs # RRRCP48-BK
I have attached an installation video below on an older CX-5 so you can see what the process is like.
