Thule Evo Clamp Roof Rack Installation on a 2025 Mazda CX-3 5-dr Hatchback
The 2025 Mazda CX-3 5-door Hatchback is a compact crossover that’s perfect for city driving in Calgary while still offering the versatility needed for Alberta adventures. With a bare roof design, this vehicle requires a complete vehicle-specific clamp rack system in order to safely carry outdoor gear and travel equipment. For this installation, our team set up a Thule Evo Clamp roof rack system paired with black Thule Evo WingBar crossbars and a Thule Pulse 2 M cargo box. The final setup delivers secure cargo capacity for skis, camping gear, luggage, and road trip essentials while maintaining a clean, low-profile appearance.
Clean, Secure Fit on the 2025 Mazda CX-3
This Mazda CX-3 features a bare roof without factory rails or fixed mounting points, which means the roof rack system must use a precision-engineered clamp fit designed specifically for this vehicle.
The Thule Evo Clamp system uses custom-fit brackets and pads that attach securely to the vehicle’s door frame areas without drilling or permanent modifications. Combined with the aerodynamic Evo WingBar crossbars, the setup provides a stable platform for carrying cargo while minimizing wind noise during highway travel.

Important Fit Note: Bare Roof Rack Systems Require Vehicle-Specific Components
Vehicles like the Mazda CX-3 that use a bare roof configuration require an exact fit kit and clamp system designed specifically for the year, make, and model. Even small year-to-year changes can affect how the rack mounts to the vehicle.
Our team always confirms the exact vehicle details before installation to ensure proper fit, safe load carrying, and long-term reliability.
