CX-5 Roof Rack 0000-8L-R01 // Watch out for this purchase.

Watch out for this purchase.

The rails of 2013-2015 Mazda CX-5 SkyActiv Roof Rack Side Rails NOT work in 2016, 2017.

I made the mistake of buying it trusting that everything was the same, when I started installing I realized that the number of holes is not the same and they are located in another place of the car roof. (boom03)

Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Genuine Mazda Accessories 0000-8L-R01 Roof Rack (Automotive)
Mazda team, i have received your comments that this item will fit my Mazda CX5 2016.5 model. The answer is big a NO!. When I removed the ditch molding not ones but thrice, I cannot find nut hole to fasten both ends of the roof rail. My Mazda CX5 come with one hole at both ends and spacing will not fit the rail. My question: is there a difference of model for US and Asian market? What is the approriate roof rails that you know of?

Mazda builds their cars differently for each different market around the world... some markets gets the roof rails with the mounting holes for the roof racks, some don't
You're in Panama and you're buying from the US... you should NEVER assume it will fit your car without checking!

It fit my 2016.5 roof just fine. Both rack and rails

The second ones pictured are NOT the part number your have listed. The M3 is the only US-sold Mazda that uses the second style of roof rack. All US CX5's use the first style pictured.
