What are the components of a standard CX-9 rack?

Most racks consist of two main components. The side rails run parallel to the length of your Mazda.

Crossbars run perpendicular to the rails; they usually connect to the rails with clamps. These bars offer extra support for cargo boxes and heavy items such as kayaks or bikes.

What is a cross bar-only rack for the Mazda CX-9?

Some Mazda racks are designed without side rails to reduce weight and wind resistance. These racks feature side supports that mount directly to the frame of your CX-9; others attach to the door jamb. The supports hold sturdy cross bars, which you can use as a base for rooftop carriers and attachments.
