I think Arkos is asking about the Canadian roof rack. We can't get the American roof rack because of the different roof moulding our P5's have, but Mazda dealers here sell a roof rack (by Thule, I think) that fits the Canadian P5 (there are roof rack holes in our roof moulding that a rack can screw into). I've never actually seen one so I can't say how it attaches.

 

That's what I'm talking about.

On my P5, with the Canadian trim pieces, there is NOTHING but bare metal beneath either hole. I want to know what y'all have under neath those pieces so I can figure out what I need on my end. I don't like the American roof racks, but I think I might like the Canadian/Thule ones if they can be removed flush.

 

Ok guys - sorry for the confusion. I didn't realize there was a dealer-option roofrack in Canada.

I mentioned this earlier in the thread (I probably won't go through the hassle of figuring out p/ns though). Under the 'holes in the Canadian trim', we have brackets with threaded holes that the Thule rack fits right into. If I get a chance in the next few days, I will snap and post a few pics (I promised this waaaay back, but now I at least have a digi cam and web space so I can actually do it).

I would really appreciate the pictures. I think there are brackets missing on the US version (under our roof racks). I wanted to find out what my best option was, ... I will probably end up with third party brackets.
