Question:
We just bought what I think is a used Thule Evolution 1600 model 672 roof box, and need to buy a roof rack. We have a 2012 Mazda 5 with fixed mounting points, so I was looking at this Rhino Roof Rack RRVA118B-2. Do you know if we can attach the Thule Evolution to it? Thank you!

Expert Reply:
The Thule Evolution cargo box has several sets of holes for the mounting feet. The maximum spread (center to center distance from one bar to the other) is at least 31 inches. Because the Rhino-Rack Euro-style bars are narrow enough the 32 inch bar spread on the 2012 Mazda 5 with fixed mounting points will be compatible with the box.
In addition to # RRVA118B-2 you will also need # RRRLKVA, and custom installation kit # DK285 and the rack will attach directly to the fixed mounting points.
