Hi,

its been a while since i posted here, but your help and knowledge is needed again.
I am in the process of trading in the Sport Nav for a 2019 GT Sport Nav, BUT....
I have just seen on the Mazda accessories page that the tow bar is not suitable for the GT!!!! Gutted, I NEED to transport my bikes, and it is a deal breaker!!!
I quote;
" Cannot be fitted to vehicles with the rear under skirt. Can be fitted to vehicles with the rear under trim. Tow Bar will not fit CX-3 GT."

So, has anybody got a GT with tow bar (mazda type, or otherwise), and what do they mean by "under skirt" and "under trim", why can it be fitted to 1 but not the other, and is it just a matter of re-shaping the under tray to avoid the swan neck?

please help me out here guys.

Sorry, I don't know the reason why it's not compatible with GT Sport.
The Rear Under Trim is this part DD2F-V3-900A

Rear Under Skirt is this part QDKE-50-360A-62

Think I'm there with it now. Mazda released a GT trim in 2017, with a deep diffuser, and bumper corner extensions. The cx3 GT sport nav+ just has the "chrome" trim,as standard. This has always been an option. Tow bar accessory page states will not fit cx3 GT, it doesn't say will not fit cx3 GT sport nav+. So it's all good I think.
