Correct Thule Fit Kit for a 2021 Mazda CX-9 With Factory Flush Rails

Updated 06/30/2023 | Published 06/29/2023

Question:

I am looking for a fit kit for Thule Evo, flush rails, for a 2021 Mazda CX-9. I have the Cross bars and feet. The factory cross bar attachment points are on the interior sides of the rails, and are very close together in width. I need the crossbars to be further apart, so the standard fixed attachment points wont work. There appear to be 3 sets of attachment points on the tops of the flush rails and there is a groove on the rails. Is there a fit kit for clamping the feet to the rails so the width is adjustable, or attaching to the tops of the rails, which are wider than the fixed points on the sides of the rails?

For your 2021 Mazda CX-9 using Thule Evo crossbars you are going to just need the Fit Kit for Thule Evo Flush Rail and Edge Flush Rail Roof Rack Feet # TH67KE.

To install the fit kit you'll just remove the lockable covers, slide the inner and outer clips over the mounting bolt, screw on the socket head nut, and insert the mounting pads onto the bottoms of the feet.

I've also attached a manufacturer mounting tutorial for you to check out as well.
