Can any kind person tell me the width of the crossbars? Wondering if it will fit my canoe width, thanks!

Measure the width between the roof gutters on your Subie! Should be a pretty close measurement give or take an inch or two. If your canoe is close to that measurement than the inch or two may be a big deal and I haven't helped you at all... Goodluck!

They are 40.5" wide with appx.3.5" clearance from roof top. The distance from front crossbar to back crossbar is 29" on center, on my 2012 Impreza.The max load is 178 lbs. I believe. Hope this helps

It should fit, but double ckeck the size of your crossbars. If it's more than two inches wide then you might have a problem. Good luck!

Hi Barb, the cross bar is not adjustable width wise, only up and down. But from hook to hook on frame it measures to just 60 inches. Suggest you measure the distance from slot to slot on your head and foot boards. Sorry I could not help further. Regards, Bob

Both Yakima and Thule canoe cradles snap over the bars by removing the tightner bolt first. Most likely you will have to offest carry your boat unless your boat is 36 inch spread or less, most canoes are 43-46 inch wide. this means one set of cradles inside the grabs and one set of cradles offset outside your car top grabs.Thule close up shot here.http://www.etrailer.com/Watersport-Carriers/Thule/TH579XT.html

I don't know the exact measurements, but if you zoom in on the photo provided, you can see that the canoe rests on the Malone foot brackets with a foam pad that the gunwale rests on. That bracket sits directly on the rack system that my vehicle came with. You can always return it if it does not work for your needs.

The front clamp on the carrier is fixed. The rear clamp slides forward and backward. So yes, it will fit different crossbar configurations.

My 2008 RAV4 has a 34" wide top rack. The crossbars are 2 1/2" wide by approx. 1/2" thick (aerodynamic shape) and my 2 kayaks fit very cozy on it.

I used 1 inch square tubing, but they will fit a larger bar. How large is your bar? I will check. I sold my boat, I will sell you a new set, never been in the sun.

Yes it should fit. I just checked and measured it. The hole that is drilled in the end of the crossbar is exactly 5/8 inches. You might have to drill it a "hair" bigger.

Yes Sean we have rectangular Thule load bars and THEY WILL fit just center the oval-like opening over them and tighten them down well with your hand. I carry two kayaks one 8'6" and one 10'4" and they come with tons of straps and tie downs A very good purchase in my opinion but MUST have cross bars wont attach to factory roof racks for that buy J Cradles. BUT if you have load bars9Cross Bars) these are the best option for two kayaks, but if you only have one kayak i suggest ONE j cradle cheaper by 20-25 dollars, These are excellent however for 2 Kayaks and even highway and long trips So many tie downs and straps

I don't know. I cut mine down to fit my kayak more snuggle so I can't measure it to find out. If you want to compare your canoe to a Ocean Kayak Malibu 2XL that should help. The cover was really wide on my kayak.

I bought one to try out on my 2014 Santa Fe with moon roof. I ended up sending it back. It does fit but if you open the moon roof there is only about 3/8 inch clearance from bottom of cross member to the glass. Most cross bar attachments usually require more than 3/8 inch space below the cross bar. Some might work. Simple Flat Straps used to secure a canoe should work ok.

The width will be the distance between your existing rails. I had a Yakima box on top this summer and the box mounts/locks touched the top of the roof. So hopefully your box will have shallow mounts. Durant

Thule sells new cross bars to fit your vehicle that matches up with the hullevator. After a long day of paddling it is totally worth the money.

I have a Toyota with factory racks that are wide and flat but my friend has a rack with round bars and she has the same Malone Wings. We both loves these mounts as they are so easy to use and work with any size kayak. They don't work with canoes just so you know but we both have sots and sit ins of various sizes and these mounts work with all our kayaks. The only thing I don't care for are the straps so I use NRS straps but other than that these are great! They screw down I would say on most any size racks unless the cross bar is exceptionally large and hold your boat very secure. Hope this helps.

I'm just took a look at my bar and I don't think it will adjust to such a small width without shortening the bar. This would be easy enough to do with a handsaw although you would lose some of the outward bow.

i do not know but i would guess that this would be a problem because of the canoe with and rack spacing that you define. thule does have other racks that are fine for canoes.
