Will the attachment brackets fit the cross bars on a factory 2014 Subaru Outback rack? They are approximately 2.5" wide x .75" thick. Thanks!!

Hi Dan, I actually used my fairing for the factory VW cross bars. I actually cut the clamps off and used stainless hardware to attach to the factory bars. This was achieved by drilling wholes through the aluminum on the cross bar. The bolts I used had an Allen key fitting so they were easy to install. The finished job looks factory. I'm not sure the size of the clamps that come with the fairing since they were discarded. Google Thule fairing attached to oem Subaru rack. See what you come up with. Wish I could help more.

Good day, if the crossbars are not adjustable, it may not fit perfectly out of the box, as the mounting holes are in predetermined locations, but the bar spread you have can be accommodated by the box. Thank you and have a great day!

This crossbar set is made for Subaru. It looks good and fits nicely. I would recommend you check the manufacturer's specs for the roof load as well a contact Subaru for the exact load limits. I personally have not used it for heavy loads.

No idea what type of crossbars you have. I have the aftermarket Yakima rack on my car with the 55' crossbars. I can def fit 3 comfortably, possibly four but that's pushing it

They measure 2 5/8" wide. I use the crossbars to mount a Thule Box on my Pilot, so you should be fine.

I have a Subaru but was able to use the stock brackets. Just had to drill my own holes.

I don't know. It was a gift for my daughter who lives 1,000 miles away from me, so I never saw the rack in person. She has a Subaru outback.

Pretty sure they are 2" out of the box. I modified mine to accommodate my 3.5" cross bars

Should fit. You need to already have a rack with crossbars. If you do, the box has mounts that adjust forward and backward to fit on your crossbars. If you don't have crossbars, you need to get them first.

I cannot help with this question as I have a 2014 Subaru Outback. It works great if it turns out it can fit. Good luck.

If your cross bars are less than 3 to 3.5 inches wide it will fit without modification. If they are wider than 3.5 inches you will have to make new brackets to attach to the cross bar. I used 1 inch wide flat bar steel and 2 inch long bolts to mount it to my coross bars. Total cost was about $30.00 and took about 3 hours to fabricate.

If you are planning to mount the carriers to your rack's crossbars, you will have an issue with too much weight. They are similar to the crossbars on my 2002 Ford Taurus Wagon. The stock hardware will mount to a crossbar that is no more then 1-7/8" wide by about 1-1/4" deep. I priced aftermarket crossbars from Thule and Yakima and found them to be over $300. I ended up making my own that locked into the rack channels on each side of the roof. I used 1" black steel water pipe and used U-Bolts for the hardware. Unless you are willing to buy some crossbars or can fabricate them yourself, these are not the racks for you.

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

2.5 inches wide. Most attachments have kit that will allow you to put them on different bar styles. Good Luck!

I don't see why not, I put the same rack on my 06 subaru with factory cross bars and it fits perfect. Very nice ski rack I have used mine several times with both snowboards and skis.

I don't know, but I think they should. I have a 2008 Subaru Outback with factory cross rails and they fit just fine. The kit has two types of clamps. One type is for round cross rails and the other is for oval rails. Mine are more oval. Hope this helps.

That Vortex 2500 roof rack's crossbar dimensions are 59" long x 3-1/8" wide x 1-3/16" tall. So the simple answer is NO, but the detailed answer is yes but. . . The stock hardware that is supplied with the roof rack will only accommodate crossbars that are less then 1-7/8" wide. Because the width of the Vortex 2500 is 3-1/8" wide, the stock hardware is not going to work. However, if it was me, and I already owned the racks, I would use two 1/4" stainless bolt. washer and nut sets per rack, and then drill appropriately sized holes in the crossbars to accept the bolts. The hardware at the back end of each rack is adjustable for width and the 1-3/16" thickness will not be a problem as long as you replace the reinforcing bar that spans the two rear bolts with a longer section of steel stock. THE OTHER TWO ANSWERS SHOWN ARE NOT CORRECT BECAUSE OF THE WIDTH OF YOUR CROSSBARS
