Hey Mike, for an easy to get off and on roof rack that fits your 2023 Mazda CX-5 I would recommend the Yakima Sightline Roof Rack part # Y76TB. Yakima makes the highest quality roof racks and we found that they are also the easiest to install and remove. Do you have a kayak carrier picked out already?
