Question:

Hi. I am trying to build my 2015 Mazda CX-5 into a side road adventure vehicle. Its lifted on AT tires, but now it needs a proper rack. No one builds one stock for this model, so seeking your advice on how to solve for this. thanks

Hey Patrick the best solution would be a Thule Caprock as they are designed to fit crossbars like what we can help for your 2015 Mazda CX-5. Do you have a totally naked roof or do you have raised side rails currently? Here are all of the Caprocks we carry:

- 82-3/4" Long x 65" Wide: Thule Caprock Platform Roof Rack for Crossbars # TH26XE

- 74-3/4" Long x 59" Wide: Thule Caprock Platform Roof Rack for Crossbars # TH76XE

- 59" Long x 65" Wide: Thule Caprock Platform Roof Rack for Crossbars # TH86XE

- 59" Long x 59" Wide: Thule Caprock Platform Roof Rack for Crossbars # TH66XE

- 59" Long x 52-3/8" Wide: Thule Caprock Platform Roof Rack for Crossbars # TH95YE

Hey Patrick, what did you end up deciding for the roof on your CX-5—did you go with one of the Thule Caprock platform sizes? Your setup could really help others looking to build a similar adventure rig. Once you know which roof type you have, I can help narrow down the best fit.

Hi Jameson, Found your recommendation from search. Currently in a similar situation with my CX5 2017. Would love you have a Thule Caprock platform on it, however currently the car is just a naked roof, no rails no crossbars. Any way to install the Caprock directly on naked roof? It'd be the cleanest look I'd like to go for. Thanks

@Zc We don't have a way to mount one directly to a naked roof but if you are okay with installing a roof rack as well like with the Rhino Rack # RR34FR36GR you could use any of the ones above.

@JamesonC I saw this installed CX5 with the Caprock directly on the naked roof. See photos here: https://rackattack.com/cargo-platforms/thule-caprock-platform-m The description mentions the following system: Thule Evo Fix Point Fit Kit 7187 Thule Evo Fixpoint (Set of 4) Thule Caprock Platform - M Thule 544 4-pack Lock Cores Does that seems right?
