Thule Evo Clamp Roof Rack Installation on a Mazda CX-90 (2016 Onwards) w/ Thule Snowpack Ski & Board Carrier
The Mazda CX-90 is a versatile and capable SUV, popular among Calgary drivers and Albertans who split their time between city streets and mountain adventures. Because this model uses a bare roof design, choosing the correct clamp-style roof rack system is essential for safety and performance. For this installation, our Roof Racks Calgary team equipped the vehicle with a Thule Evo Clamp system paired with 53-inch black WingBars, along with a large SnowPack and a six-key One-Key System.
Clean, Secure Fit on the Mazda CX-90
The CX-90’s bare roof requires a precise clamp-style system to ensure correct fitment. The Thule Evo Clamp uses a vehicle-specific fit kit that securely grips the door frame area without causing damage or interfering with weather sealing.
Once in place, the 53-inch WingBars sit level and stable, providing an aerodynamic, low-noise base rack ready for accessories—especially winter gear like the SnowPack installed here.

Important Fit Note for Mazda CX-90 Owners
The 2016+ CX-90 has specific measurements and doorframe contours that require the correct Thule fit kit. Pre-installation testing ensures proper contact points and secure attachment. Using an incorrect kit or bar length may result in unstable fitment.
Our team double-checks all components before installation to ensure proper compatibility.
Professional Installation by Our Calgary Team
This install was completed quickly and cleanly by our Roof Racks Calgary technicians. One key recommendation from our installer: pre-install the SnowPacks onto the WingBars before mounting the bars onto the vehicle. This makes positioning much easier and saves time during the install.
- Verified correct Evo Clamp fit kit
- Pre-installed SnowPacks for smoother setup
