Thule Evo Fixed Point Roof Rack Installation on a 2012 Mazda CX-9
The 2012 Mazda CX-9 is a spacious midsize SUV that continues to be a popular choice for family road trips, outdoor adventures, and daily driving throughout Alberta. Equipped with factory fixed mounting points hidden beneath removable roof trim, it is an excellent candidate for a premium roof rack system. For this installation, our team fitted a Thule Evo Fixed Point Roof Rack System using silver Thule Evo WingBar 135 load bars. The finished setup provides a strong, quiet, and versatile platform for carrying bikes, skis, cargo boxes, kayaks, and more.
Clean, Secure Fit on the 2012 Mazda CX-9
The 2012 Mazda CX-9 features factory fixed mounting points concealed beneath removable trim pieces on the roof. This design allows for a clean, secure installation using a vehicle specific fit kit without requiring any drilling or permanent modifications.
The Thule Evo Fixed Point Foot Pack combined with Thule Fit Kit 187006 creates a precise connection to the factory mounting locations. The silver Thule Evo WingBar 135 load bars provide excellent strength while maintaining a sleek aerodynamic profile that helps reduce wind noise during highway driving.
