Will the Pulse Large #615 (16-17 cubic feet) fit a 2014 Subaru Outback using factory installed crossbars and still allow the rear hatch to fully open?

Good day, we do offer a clearance chart to determine if a certain box will clear the hatch of the vehicle. In most cases, customers are happy to receive the additional storage space so being able to fully open the hatch 85-90% of the way isn't as much of a concern as it will allows ample rear access. However, if you do want to be sure the box will clear the hatch when mounted to the factory crossbars, we recommend visiting a dealer to view the dimension chart and instructions for obtaining the front clearance dimension. You can also contact Thule direct, and we can email that to you. Thanks!

You can check if your car will work on Yakima's website. I have a Honda Element with factory roof rack - zero issues. The Skybox has adjustable clamps that move to wherever your crossbars are located. I went through the selections on here - and looks like you shouldn't have a problem: http://www.yakima.com/fit/Information

Yes, I use this on a 2015 Subaru Outback, which has similar crossbars to the 2012. You first swivel the factory crossbars so that they go across the roof. They will snap into place. You then install each Thule on each crossbar. The skis must go lengthwise with the car, and the tips of the skis (fronts) need to pointing to the back of the car, per Thule. Tip: I open my trunk when I put the skis in the Thule, so that I make sure the skis are far enough forward to not interfere with the trunk. This is a great rack. Good luck!

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

Yes, I think you could. You may want to go to an REI and try it out in the parking lot before you buy it on Amazon, but the metal clamps lock on with a semi-oval angle that grabs the edges of a more rounded bar (which are flat on bottom). Make sense? I can't promise since I used factory Subaru racks that are flatter, but there should be plenty of space for a square bar given the adjustments you can make on the clamp tightness.

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.

Hi Neal, our boxes will fit to the factory installed crossbars systems. We do have a fitment chart available to determine rear hatch clearance. If you would like a copy please contact us direct. What we would need to know is the distance from your front crossbar to the fist point of contact when the hatch is open, that measurement will allow us to determine which models will fit without interference. Thanks!

My apologies, after double checking with the manufacturer, it appears as though the 2014 outback is best fitted with the 13206 hitch.

I'm not sure. It is very adjustable and easy to install. I've got a normal trunk tho. Not a hatchback. My friend has an hhr text me at 5618097522 in a couple of days n I'll have a def yes or no for you.

Fred Beans...doesn't ring a bell. Not sure I bought from this vendor. If they say it fits your year; there ya go! CALL and query the vendor and save his E-mail reply and be CLEAR on return policies. I have a dog gate/grate that is a "Subaru" item and it did not depict a large opening that I consider gastly-the return postage was nearly the expense of the item-nearly $200. as it was an over sized box. Good luck

It is 42" long and 4 11/16 on the shorter width including the little lip that goes over the edge of the bumper. We have a 2010 Subaru Outback. It is easy to install but you need to follow the directions perfectly which includes finding your landmarks under the rubber gasket for proper placement and taping exactly as numbered. It fits perfectly and is very protective.

I don't know but I have a factory installed roof rack and the crossbars are about 2.5" wide, shaped kinda flat (thicker, about 1/2"+ in the middle) and it works great.

Mine is stowed right now, but I'm guessing at least 9". I have a Subaru with duel exhaust and was needing something to raise the load above the plastic-melting heat (yeah, lesson learned) and this was perfect. I was still able to access the rear hatch with my full cargo bag/cooler mounted on the tray. It also raised it to a nice height for using the top of the cooler for setting stuff I had to unload/repack on our road trip. Best thing I ever got for road-tripping.

Go to the Subaru Web Site. The Web Site has the dimensions for this product. I purchased mine through a dealer and it fit just fine.

I drive a Subaru Outback and am not able to answer your question. Best to measure your space and then see if 47" x 34" will work for you.

The OEM crossbars on my Subaru failed and the J-racks were undamaged. Worry about the strength of your car and crossbars, that will be the limiting factor. I was carrying a 13 foot 2 seat sit-on-top that weighed 1/2 of Subaru's 150 lb. limit when the bars bent. I'm still using the J-racks.

I have Subaru outback. Rear hatch opens fine can't tell you about a honda element. This is a great product.
