Question:
Considering this for out 2012 Mazda 3 4DR Sedan. What are the compatible ski carriers for this roof rack? Is it essentially the same mounting system as Thule/Yakima, etc.?

Expert Reply:
The Rola crossbars 59832 mount into the fixed mounting points on the roof of your 2012 Mazda 3. The bars are 3-1/2 inches wide and 1 inch tall which is basically the same measurements as Thule AeroBlades.
Most of the ski carriers that we off fit the Rola rack. One of the most popular and top of the line ski carriers that I recommend is the Yakima FatCat EVO 6, part # Y03096. It holds up to 6 pairs of skis and includes locks. If you only need to carry 4 pairs of skis use part # Y03095.
An even smaller option is the Rhino-Rack carrier, part # RR572, that also includes locks and holds 2 pairs of skis.
