For the rack itself it\'s $498.56 plus taxes plus $47.00 to install. If your 3 was made in 04 though you have to buy the side roof moldings which are $36.97 each.

Thule (http://www.thuleracks.com/thule/fg_vehicle.asp) offer a system for the Mazda3.

400XT Aero Foot Pack, LB50 Load Bars and a 2135 Fit Kit

The total tax in price is $437 from Rack Attack on Laird. Not sure if thats the cheapest price, but I know Thule has a huge number of add-ons for their systems.

Joe, Can you get OEM snowboard holders?

Thanks Joe. What do you mean by side roof moldnings for 04 models? So how many would you need? I had no idea that 04 models had a different roof? I\'m looking outside the parking lot and I see an 05 Indigo Blue hatch and roof looks the same as mine. :hoho

If these are removable, why would it cost $85 to install? I was under the impression they are snap on and snap off...guess I\'m wrong.


Could you give us the Part Number for the rack and the accessories? :)

I think Thule makes this rack. It connects directly onto the drip rail moldings. As for add on accesories it accomodates various attachments.

man, where have u been?? it\'s MoT.. as in, Mazda of Toronto.. that\'s where I bought my car.. :p

on a side note.. I thought the same thing as Red Raptor and thought u just have to take off those little black mold things on ur roof (4 in all) and snap on the roof rack..

while on the topic of the rack, I was hoping the rack might be like $20.. :D

There are two moldings on the roof of the 3. The black long ones that run front to back on each side. On later production 05\'s Mazda put removable clips that expose mounting holes for the roof rack. So 04 and ealry 05 owners that want the Mazda rack will have to buy these two extra moldings.

The labour has been changed to $47.00 but you can easily do this yourself.
