Roof Rack and Kayak Carrier Recommendation for a 2015 Mazda CX-5 Naked Roof

Question:

I have a Mazda CX-5 2015 with no existing rails or cross bars. I am looking for a quick easy on off rack and this seems to fit the bill. Is there a companion piece/assembly for kayaks? Ive looked at so many racks by this point im bleary eyed. Thanks, I appreciate any input you may have. V/r

The Rola roof rack part # 59767 that you referenced has been confirmed as a fit for your 2015 Mazda CX-5 with a naked roof and it can easily be removed/installed so it would work well for you.

For a J-style kayak carrier to use with this roof rack the Sportrack Kayak Carrier part # SR5511 would work great also. You could use the Hood Loops, # TH529, or Quick Loops, # TH530, to minimize contact when strapping the kayak down as well.
