We just bought a 2019 Crosstrek with the crossbars installed by the dealer. They made a terrible whistling sound any time over 40mph. I was searching the internet for a solution when I happened upon your video and discovered that the dealer had installed them backwards. We flipped them around and the wind noise is gone. Thanks for this helpful video!

Good video. Just picked up a 17' Crosstrek 2.0i Limited, and I'm loving it!

Do the screws on the bottom need to be tightened? I got OEM bars and the screw driver doesn’t fit the heads of the torx screws on the bottom

Is there a noticeable noise when driving on the freeway?

Is this the same cross bars for the ascent? I have a 2020 Ascent. And your measurements - ie 5.25, ect., will
Those measurements fit most cargo boxes? I have a Yakima

Any suggestion on best way to better secure the cross bars to the vehicle? I'm concerned of someone unscrewing the crossbars to get to bikes locked to the bike rack. Yes, take bikes inside overnight, but if my Sube is parked out of sight while having lunch or walking around Thanks. Great video.

hi nice video! btw, do u know what the static weight capacity might be for a crosstrek rails/crossbars? I called subaru america and they don't have that info! I do know my 2018 crosstrek rails have a 150lb dynamic weight capacity. Thx!

Would these get in the way of opening moonroof ? I just ordered 2019 crosstrek. Thanks

Is there a way to install a lock set to secure these ?

HI I have the thule rack and wondered if you have any idea if the factory made crossbars are less noisy? I get a lot of cabin noise and wondered if it's because my roof rack is not the factory installed one. I have thule crossbars and the foot pack. thanks
