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..

From what we are told they will fit on the 2002 p5's. They are rated for 75kg or 165lbs. fraay I'll give you a good price on the rack if you think it will work for you ;)

Jim

You know... You're going to be my cars best friend... and my bank accounts worst enemy.. :)

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 :confused:

I think the reason some people took off the headliner was to get the strip of plastic off, not the actual rack itself. But I could be wrong...it has happened before :)

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...

I think that Chris has the same set.

Jay

Yeah Dion, pay attention :D. Hmm, you may have to go back in that corner :p.

I have the same set as you and I agree it is very easy to put on and take off.

So does anyone have one of this big storage bins? Any info for me on what type (if it matters) of roof rack I need.. if the bins all hook up the same.. which kinda bin to get? roof rack to get? any advice at all really :)

P.S. my message is all choppy and hyper because my car should be ready in about an hour.. getting her tinted and stongarded for my birthday.. yeeehaw.. im so excited to see her! :)

I don't. But I know Thule makes one. If it suites you, then great, if not, sorry. Couldn't help no mo.

I know I'm not Fraay (and I am after from Calgary) but... What kinda price would we talkin' about for the US roof racks.

Just Curious :p

What are the prices for the older ones?

About $350 CDN. Hey it has the Mazda name on it and FITS.

Chris, is that $350 for just the 'load bars' or something else?
