New roof racks for p5's
The roof racks for the US p5's are now in Canada, the Canadian dealers are now getting the low rider roof racks and the good news with that is they are also cheaper then the old roof racks, not sure how soon we will be getting them but they are coming.

Does it smich (technical word) in the existing roof rack holes? I want to get a roof rack and one of those big bins for the top of my car .. but those holes look a lil too close together to be strong enough to keep the bin on my car in windy situations..

Jim, it is interesting it is cheaper since it seems so have so many more parts.
Also, would the dealer have to install this since it looks like quite the job after seeing someone on the board take one off. He had to drop the head liner on the inside to access some fittings holding the roor rack. Just wondering

Chris, you know the ones I have are a complete breeze to put on/take off. They are the Thule ones that the Canadian Mazda dealerships carried, I guess until now...
