Question:
I just got a 2023 Mazda CX-5 and would like to add a roof rack but there are no side rails or attachment points. Is there something that will work that won't have me drilling into the roof? Thanks

Congrats on the new vehicle! Yes, there is a way to install a roof rack to your 2023 CX-5 without drilling. It attaches inside your door frame with custom fit brackets. You will want the roof rack by Rhino Rack and it includes the following parts:
Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 46" Long - Qty 2 item # RRVA118B-2
RCL Legs for Rhino-Rack Crossbars - Fixed Mounting Points - Qty 4 item # RRRCL4
Custom RCP Fit Kit for 4 Rhino-Rack RC Roof Rack Legs - Fixed Mounting Points item # RRRCP48-BK
This aero bar roof rack system has a 165 lbs capacity. The included locks will help prevent theft. The rubberized vortex strips in the top channels dramatically reduce drag and wind noise.
I have linked an installation video below.
