    Roof Rack options for 2014 Mazda3?

    In my last conversation with Mazda support, they said the 2013 rack should work with the 2014, as they have the same mounting points. I proceeded to ask "Why are they covered?" - no answer - just that there will be a 2014 rack option sometime in early 2014. Really? If the mounting points are...

    Roof Rack options for 2014 Mazda3?

    Looking closer today, the mounting bracket is the same as on the 2013, just covered up by the moulding. It would just take drilling a hole through the molding that is slightly bigger than the hole used to hold the mounting bolt (same for 2013 & 2014). Just covering it up will require some sort...

    Minor Bug in the Infotainment system (Auto Brightness issue)

    Another bug is USB device (phone or other) integration.

    Roof Rack options for 2014 Mazda3?

    It's a solid strip along the top. I spoke w/Mazda support and all they say is "the rack doesn't show as an accessory. Talk to your dealer." I'll be bummed if they don't have mount points, as I hate the grip mounts for the door frame. Major mistake on Mazda if it isn't rack compatible - and a...

    Roof Rack options for 2014 Mazda3?

    The 2013 3 had anchor points for roof racks (Thule/Yakima), but the 2014 doesn't seem to have anything visible. Are they hidden under the black roof line trim? Trying to find something for my sGT hatchback. Thanks!
