Question:
Hi, Im looking for racks for our 2008 Mazda 3 hatchback. It says that these Rola racks have not been confirmed to fit our car, however, I have removed the gutter rail caps on the roof and see that there are fixed attachment points. I have also spotted similar Mazda 3s that seem to be the same model year that have racks mounted to these fixed points. What do you think? Will they work? If I purchase the racks, are they returnable/refundable if they dont fit? Thanks,

Expert Reply:
Rola used to have roof rack kits for your 2008 Mazda 3 that would mount to those fixed points but those parts were phased out by Rola. If you want a roof rack, you will need the Rhino Rack system with parts # RRVA118B-2, # RRRLKVA, # DK289.
This mounts to the fixed mounting points on your 2008 Mazda 3. Rhino-Rack makes great roof racks that are a bit more budget-friendly compared to Thule and Yakima. Their construction is also really solid and have a weight capacity of 165 lbs. I attached a review video of this roof rack system on a 2008 Mazda 3 if you want to check that out below.
