WTB Roof Rack Saddles?! And Questions! - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

pair saddles with rollers. They work well, probably easier to load than the glide/slide ones. Also, does the Car Come with faCtory Cross bars? If so, you might wanna CheCk the load CapaCity and make sure your PA won't kill it. and of Course, when you're buying the saddles/rollers, make sure they're Compatible with your Cross bars, some fit round bars and some reCtangular.

those are niCe Cars!

Cheers,

you should first check on the thule or yakima site to see what they recommend for your vehicle. they will then give you some good ideas on what type of rack you may want to use.
then go onto this forum or c.l. to look for those same exact racks that yakima recommends at a steep discounted price. if you can't find it on c.l. then you'll have to pay the full retail from one of the authorized dealers.
i especially like that yakima has the integrated mounting system for some factory racks. it keeps the factory look rather than just adding some crossbars or mounts.

The subaru will be with the full factory cross bar.

Also check the weight capacity for the roof too...I would go with Thule saddles they fit your factory bars
