I went back there after the purchase and asked if they had any spacers, they told me they did not carry and spacers specifically but they would give me some hefty pieces of rubber that "might help". They specialize in used racks, hitches, and hitch attachments. There is a place in Portland, OR called ReRack. The Yakima does touch the rear antenna fin and push it down a bit, looking into getting some 1/4" or 1/2" spacers to raise the rear of the Cargo Box off of it.Īnd for those interested, the one that was on the SEMA CX-5 that had a vinyl kit on it was i believe a Thule Atlantis 16, which lead me to wanting the Thule Force L. I think the Thule is a much better looking box though, if they had it I would have gone with it. I ended up with the Rocketbox Pro 14 because the local shop did not carry Thule and I was able to trade my old one in so it came to only $325 for the Yakima. Yakima RocketBox Pro 14 (14cu/ft) - 45" Front Clearanceįor me it was a tie between the Rocketbox Pro 14 and the Force L 624. Yakima RocketBox Pro 12 (12cu/ft) - 40" Front Clearance Yakima RocketBox Pro 11 (11cu/ft) - 45" Front Clearance Thule Pulse L 614 - (14cu/ft) - 43" Front Clearance Thule Force L 624 - (13cu/ft) - 42" Front Clearance Thule Sonic L 634 - (13cu/ft) - 44" Front Clearance This is the measurement from the center of the front cross bar (moved all the way forward) to the point where the roof meets the hatch (when it is opened).Ĭargo boxes from the two major brands Thule and Yakima that fit the CX-5 are listed below. The most important measurement for Cargo Box fitment is the Front clearance. The mounting put it too far back and the hatch would not open. Recently discovered that my old Yakima Platinum 16 Cargo box would not fit on the Mazda with the stock rails/crossbars.
