Question:
Hi Id like to install this rack on my 2016 Mazda CX-5 using its fixed points. Will the crossbars interfere with the sunroof when raised? Also will it interfere with the GPS antenna at the rear? Thank you!

Expert Reply:
The Rhino-Rack roof rack you asked about will work great on the roof of your CX-5.
We always recommend keeping the sunroof closed due to the possibility of interfering with anything mounted on the crossbar and the excessive noise from the crossbars when traveling.
I have attached a photo of the roof rack on the roof and the position of the antennae. As you can see the roof rack is mounted forward of the antennae so there will be no issue with the roof rack.
To order this roof rack you need parts # RRVA118B-2, # RRRLKVA, and # DK289.
