I have an alternative but the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars item # RRVA118B-2 will only fit the 2019 CX-5's that don't have the factory installed rails. There's no kit that will attach them to your vehicle you would have to rip your rails off and that's not a viable option.

Instead, I recommend using the roof rack by Yakima to install a set of crossbars on your 2019 Mazda CX-5. You will need the following parts:

Yakima JetStream Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 50" Long - Qty 2 item # Y00425

SightLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars - Flush Side Rails - Qty 4 item # Y64AR

SightClip Fit Kit for Yakima SightLine and RidgeLine Roof Rack Towers item # Y39AR

I have linked an installation video below so you can see how to get this roof rack set up.
