OK, I can confirm, the Thule kits that works with the CX-5 and doesn't connect on the rails, but the fixed mounting points that are used for the factory rails. You will have to drill through the gutter guards. If you have the existing rails, you will either want a different setup or get the replacement gutter guards to fill in the gaps from the factory rails.
I didn't have factory rails, so here's what I used.
Here's what I used:
Thule Rapid Podium Foot Pack 460R
Thule AeroBlade Load Bar Pair ARB53
Thule Fit Kit KIT3069
Thule list is $454.85
If you're interested and can wait, we are an authorized Thule reseller. I can get this setup for about 18-20% off MSRP and that should be before shipping (continental US should be between $17 and $28 FedEx) for you guys if you're interested. But it will take 2-3 weeks after payment to get them.
The AeroBlade rails are a lot quieter and wider than the old load bars. Link to AeroBlade
The 460R feet are made to work with the AeroBlade bars. Link to 460R Feet
The 3069 Fit kit for fixed point mounts. Link to Fit Kit 3069
If there's interest, let me know and I'll post a link on our site for you guys. And it would have to be the whole setup, not just pieces - sorry.
