Question:

I would like ideally a 2 kayak rack, or at least a 1 kayak rack for my 2006 Mazda 3 hatchback. I am also curious if a 2007 Mazda 3 hatchback would use the same rack system? We own both. Thanks!

Expert Reply:

For a two kayak carrier that would work great on both of your Mazda 3's you would want the Yakima BigStack part # Y04041. This will carry your two kayaks easily and comes with all of the needed straps to secure them.

For both your 2007 and 2006 Mazda 3 the same Yakima roof rack will fit and work well. You would need the part numbers # Y00408, # Y28TR, # Y03536, # Y06143, and # Y06111.
