2013 Subaru Crosstrek. Towers should fit but they say 48" bars where I'd prefer 58". Any issue with fitting this vehicle or with getting longer bars?

The 48" bars are just the required minimum length. Anything over is fine, just watch your face while getting in.

The dealer may have installed the roof rails Part# 08L02-T0A-110, you will need to get the crossbars which are Part# 08L04-T0A-100. The 2013 crossbars are not the same as the ones for 2007-2011 model year CRVs. Hope this helps to answer your question.

I have the bars and just got a thule 624. It's compact and fat and can be adjusted so no worries about the trunk opening. Oh and the box opens from both sides. Which is huge while loading both trunk and box. We have a 2011 crv .

Ours were used on a 2006, which may or may not be helpfulThe parts fit fine, my son installed them in about an hourThe catch was that his Subaru Outback did not come with the factory cross barsThat added about $240 to the cost of adding the bars, which had to come direct from SubaruHowever, that isn't anything against the Yakima bars, they work perfectly and were easy to install

If you use the Thule fit guide it will tell you exactly what parts you need. I suspect those bars are too short. Please don't hesitate to call with any questions. We are here to help. Cheers.

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

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 looked in the automotive section and input my car type. It suggested the Toyota cross bars for my 2013 Rav4. They work perfectly! As a matter of fact, just drove 18 miles with two 10' 5" standup paddle boards without a problem. Easy to install and look great. Hope this helps.

You have to have the cross bars on your car to mount the ski rack. we did not, so we also bought SUBARU CROSSBAR SET FOR IMPREZA 2008-2011 WRX AND STI 2008-2012 along with the ski and snowboard rack. Mounted the cross bars on the car and attached the ski rack to that. Everything fit great!

I use mine on a 2005 RAV4 with the factory crossbars. Those bars are airfoil, and the carriers work fine. i also have a set of round Yakima Bars and they work okay there too.

Pulled up some pictures of the crossbars on the Outback, and it looks like they should fit without any problems. One photo I found showed a set of Yakima racks mounted to the stock bars of an Outback, so these should do the same. The mounting hardware for both are almost identical.

Hi Chris, I apologize, as I'm not familiar if the bars will work on the Subaru. I have a Volvo V50, and it works fine with that model.

As long as your front to back roof rack is not greater than 54 inches, the cross bars should fit.

I have a 2014 Subaru Forester with the cross rails. Works very well. It just takes time to set up on car. Hope this helps. Mike

I installed the cross bars on my 2013 Highlander and they fit well. Remember to watch the Youtube video on how to remove the cover plates at ends. 30 seconds each to remove once you figure it out. The rest of it is intuitive. The written instruction war not legible. I am about to get on a long road trip and road test the rack with a soft luggage bag. Good luck

Hi Chris, If you have Thule Square Crossbars, then you can install a Thule Fairing and the 594XT. The 594XT will stick out past the front bar as well as the fairing.Thank you for the inquiry and have a great day!
