Any Subaru wagon owners out there?? Our GL wagon has the fancy roof rack which can be fitted with a bike carrier sold by the dealer (instead of buying an entire new rack from Thule or whomever). Has anyone bought this??? Comments??? BTW please don't respond about *other* racks; there are other notes for that!!

I haven't tried the bike carrier, but I think the basic roof-rack design sucks. It can't be locked, and is attached to the roof with only a few pop-rivets. I wouldn't trust it to hold anything substantial, so if you ever want to carry anything heavier, you'll have to get a Yakima or Thule anyway. BTW- the wide rain gutters mean that not all aftermarket racks will fit; yakima just barely makes it, but I don't know about thule. |
