Is It Possible To Mount Two Thule Hullavators On A 2021 Mazda CX-5 With Roof Rails?
Question:
Can I mount 2 Hullavators on my CX-5 that has raised roof rails? Will a 53inch Wingbar Evo give me enough room to mount 2 Hullavators?

Expert Reply:
You may be able to fit two Thule Hullavators # TH898 on the roof of your 2021 Mazda CX-5, but it will require at least 57" of crossbar space along with a decent weight capacity since each Hullavator weighs 40lbs empty. I do not see raised roof rails as an option for the 2021 Mazda CX-5; perhaps you are referring to flush roof rails or a factory installed roof rack with crossbars.
If you have flush rails then you can install Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars Silver - 60" # TH711500 along with Feet # TH460R and Fit Kit # THKIT3160. If you happen to have raised rails or a factory roof rack (rails that sit above the roof with a gap underneath so that crossbars can wrap around), then you can go with something like Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack - Aero Crossbars - Raised, Factory Side Rails 65" # MPG217. If you are still unsure of your roof configuration, then I would watch the demonstration videos I attached which show both styles.
Both of the crossbar setups mentioned above have a weight capacity of 165lbs. According to my research, your vehicle also has this same weight rating, although I would check the owner's manual to verify. Be sure to never exceed the weight capacity of your roof rack or roof.
