I have a new 6pr Thule roof rack for my protege 5. However, it doesn't appear that they sell the appropriate adapter clamps for a factory mazda roof rack. Does anyone else have experience with this? Does Mazda sell an adapter clamp that I can use? Does anyone for that matter? Please help!

Thanks,
Luke

You need to go back to the store you bought them at and buy the big clamps. They are sold separetly. I have those racks and the clamps and they work great

i have some larger adapter clamps, but they seemed to be too big. i wrapped them around the top of the mazda roof rack and they looked like they would be hanging loose when installed. did you modify them in any way or do i just have the wrong size?

are you talking about the FM1 fatmouth clamps or just the larger plastic clamps??? the FM1 clamps look like they would work but they aren't the ones i have. thank you for your help.

Yes i am talking about those clamps, in the box of those clamps there are spacers, they look like rubber blocks that fit into the clamps. No i didn't modify them at all.
