I have a 2011 Subaru Forester, with 36" between side roof bars. Will two pair of these fit back-to-back on the crossbars within 36"?

I'm not 100% sure. They can be moved on the cross member, but I think the width of your kayak would be the determining factor.

I'm not sure. Perhaps you might ask the sellers this question or Subaru. I will tell you that I really love this barrier for my 2011 Forester so my black labs are not trying to sit on my lap as I drive!

They don't come with a cross bar, but if you had one that fit I believe that would work, as long as the back drop isn't too heavy for them.

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

Hi Kim, I have a Subaru legacy. It did NOT originally have a roof rack/ crossbars, so I had Subaru install Subaru made crossbars. Once i had Crossbars I only needed this saddle/ kayak rack. They are adjustable to the fit the Crossbars you have, and once on you can pop the kayak right on top! Best of luck and happy kayaking!-Amy

I have a Subaru WRX and this rack is adjustable and will fit both the factory bars, or the Yakima bars

They should fit, at least the front seats. There are pretty universal in size and there is some stretch. I was never able to figure out the back seat in my Subaru Forester so only use the front. Hope this helps.

If you have a rack with cross bars you should be fine. You need cross bars ( ones going across roof, not just along roof line front to back ) they clasp onto the bars across the roof.

There are actually two sets of mounts to allow the rack to work on more that one style of cross member - it's extrememly versatile. I have a 2014 Subaru Outback and they work fantastic. I drove 5 hours one way, mostly high speed interstate but also hilly curvy small hwy road - performed flawlesly. If your cross members have a bow to them, you will want to mount the rack in the middle if it's improtant that you have your bike perfectly upright. if its flat, the side is fine. good luck

I can't speak specifically to your vehicle, however I will say that I'm pretty sure the 2011 rails are identical to the 2014, so I think these bars *should* fit. The 2011 has factory rails that also sit flat or flush on top of the vehicle, providing a channel for these cross bars to drop in and lock to.

I don't know about particular cars, but this is what I did before I purchased these racks (which have so far been awesome): - Measure the width of the roof of your car. Do this in the two places you expect to place the individual cross bars. My car roof (Volvo V50) is slightly tapered near the rear; not sure if this is universally true though. - Correlate this rough measurement with the appropriate model of SportRacks. There is a size chart somewhere detailing how far the bars expand. Pick a size that will accommodate your car roof (if in doubt, overestimate the width of your roof so the bars aren't too small; they can always be cut). - The measurements you take don't need to be precise. If the size of your roof is in-between or on the cusp of two rack lengths, go with the larger option. As to the mounting mechanisms, they are very adjustable to fit a variety of doors. I messed with mine for about 15min before getting a stable fit and then mimicked that setting on the remaining three mounts. It wasn't difficult at all. So far, so good with these bars, and I've done a ton of highway driving here in Alaska with a roofbox mounted on them (against the advice of SportRack!).

2012 Impreza hatchback owner here. I have the Subaru crossbars, and you need to buy the clamps for each carrier. You can definitely put two sets of carriers on the roof racks of that car. Each carrier only takes up between about a third to half of the roof. The only thing to check would be weight limit, but that should be fine too. This is the crossbars/carrier/clamps with a 17ft kayak: http://i.imgur.com/cvKkdBS.jpg

I had no issues putting them on a 2013 Subaru Forester. They go over the head rest.

I have a 98 Forester and they worked front and rear for mine so they should work front and rear for you

Hi Andre, you will need to see our "buyer's guide" for the recommended Thule roof rack system for your vehicle. The crossbars are separate to this product, but both are compatible. Thanks!

Yes, the cross bars are designed so they can be adjusted to various widths. When I installed then on my 2013 Highlander I took off only the front end caps and slide the both bars into the side bar tracks. Once they are in the tracks you tighten them down with the thumb screws. Important, be very careful when taking off the end caps, searched You Tube for video's.

We mounted them on a Subaru with cross bars that are 2 1/4 inches wide but the distance between the bolts are 3 + inches so they should work according to the information you provided. Your circumference should be good too, the bolts are plenty long enough.
