Have a subaru impreza wrx wagon and need a roof top rack that will allow the back hatch to fully open... is there one that would be ideal for this?

Unfortunately not enough information is provided. Exact year and roof mount point is important. If you are set on Yakima, go to there Website and use the fit guide. Thule also offers site guide on their website. I believe that will set you in the correct directiin

This rack fits right on top of your car and doesn't get in the way of your hatch. I have a jetta Sportwagen and I couldn't ask for a better rack.

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 that way but made a few modifications for the back roof bar.It has been that way for 2 years and the holes don't tear out this top is tough. In other words I cut for slots to slip the bar through. when I drive in the rain I just switch the tail gate bar and let the net hang inside and put the windows back on. If your in a colder climate like me"wa" you need someone on both sides to guide the Trek rear bar into place If you want email me and I'll send pics. dcmoloney@comcast.net Oh and I love this top!!! It does fit a little loose when its hot but still it looks great!

If Subaru racks are circular yes. However I just got a new car and new roof rack and I was able to take a hammer to the mount and flatten it to fit on my new roof rack.

I have a 2013 Subaru Outback (new body style with factory roof racks). The cargo box fits that roof rack fine, U-bolt clamps fit around the bar fine, maybe 2-1/2 inch opening. I like the box, most likely best quality box for the price on the market.

The rack opens up and sits comfortably on the back of a truck. I tried this on an Acura MDX '04. It is however much more secure on cars that are on sedans or with a trunk lid.

Newer style tops had removable side windows. As far as I know the older tops are not compatible with newer top hardware. The newer tops have plastic trim that goes around the edge of the back area, that the edges of the top slide into. The older tops have a metal frame that clips into some brackets on the body. So it kinda depends on what you have, if the one you found in the salvage yard is the same as yours, it should work. Either you have to get all of the top hardware for the top you want to run, or you have to get the right top for what you have.

This roof rack comes with 2 lightweight crossbars and mounts to them. It does not come with the mounts to mount to any specific vehicle. You will need to purchase those separately.

The roof box will fit all rack systems; round, square, rectangle, oblong and other shapes will be accommodated. The mounting system may not be as convenient as those on the more expensive boxes, but for the price this box can not be beat. It is actually manufactured by "T". Although lighter in weight than the Yakima box I owned previously, it is just as serviceable. I have gone cross country numerous times without any issues; rain, hail, sleet, snow (blizzard) without any leaks or other issues. Would purchase it again without any hesitation.

Out Subaru has the same style cross bars as you mention. The hardware included with the carrier worked great. They are a squared "u" shape and work well.

(I have a 2011 Subaru Outback and could not be happier with this rack. I do however add additional nylon straps for safety if on the freeways. There are many size adjustments on this rack. Hope this helps.

I looked at some pictures of your car and the only problem might be that there are no roof racks. There have to be racks running front to back to attach the rails to. If there is an option for this or aftermarket product you can purchase, you will need to do so. But if the racks run side to side (like on my 2008 Subaru STi) then you won't need the Malone racks as you can attach whatever you are carrying directly to the aftermarket (or whatever) racks. Hope this helps.

Not sure about the outback, I have a minivan with the factory roof rack that has the two adjustable cross bars. I attach my glide & set to the cross bars (going from driver side to passenger side). Not sure if they work on the roof racks that go from front to back only.

Don't know why it wouldn't fit especially if you have a roof rack. It does attach without roof rack but I would be hesitant during winter months. That is just me. I think this was a good purchase for me and my Subaru wagon cross country.

The latch points are adjustable, so you can adjust where the Rack sits on the roof. Should be fine.

I only purchased only roof rack crossbars but had to send several order back of after-market brands because they didn't fit right. I ended up going to the Chrysler dealer to get the right ones. They were more expensive but worth it!
