Question:
Hi, I have a plan to purchase a rooftop tent and roof racks for the tent. My car is 2019 Mazda CX-9 with naked roof with fixed mounting points (see attached photo). What is your recommendation?

For a great roof rack for mounting a roof top tent on your 2019 Mazda CX-9 with fixed mounting points, I recommend the Rhino-Rack RVP Roof Rack for Fixed Mounting Points - Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRRVP51.
It is important to note that the dynamic weight capacity of the # RRRVP51 is 165 pounds when attached to your Mazda CX-9. This is the weight capacity when your vehicle is in motion. In order to make sure you have enough static weight capacity (the weight capacity when your vehicle is not in motion), Rhino-Rack roof racks defer to the maximum weight rating of the tent itself. Simply put: your roof top tent needs to have enough weight capacity to be able to hold the body weight. It is also important to make sure that the total body weight and the weight of the tent does not exceed the maximum weight rating of the vehicle's roof itself. For this reason, I recommend consulting with your Mazda owner's manual to make sure your roof can handle the amount of weight you wish to carry.
If you need a great tent that will get you enough weight capacity, I recommend the Thule Tepui Foothill Rooftop Tent - 2 Person - 400 lbs - Agave Green # TH37HJ. The Foothill allows you to have up to 2 people with a maximum weight capacity of 400 pounds. It requires a minimum bar spread of 24 inches, so I recommend measuring the distance between your fixed mounting points to make sure you have enough spread between the bars required for the Foothill.
