Will SportRack Frontier Semi-Custom Roof Rack # A21010S Fit 2012 Subaru Impreza Hatchback

Question:

Hi, I am wondering that this SportRack Frontier Semi-Custom Roof Rack # A21010S will fit to 2012 Subaru Impreza 5door without roof rail. Because I cannot find 2012 model in fit guide from SportRack website. 1st question: According to this fit guide, for 2011 Subaru Impreza 5 door, front is 16 and rear is 15. Is it still applicable to 2012 model? 2nd question: Fit guide said that distance between front and rear bar is 24 inches based on 2011 model. However, in 2012 Impreza has a factory roof rack hole and distance between front and rear is about 29 inches. So, Is it okay to install based on factory roof rack hole as a reference?

We have found that the SportRack roof rack, # A21010S will fit a 2012 Subaru Impreza 5-door hatchback. Even though the vehicle has factory mounting areas that are spaced differently, you will still go by the 24 inch spread and the 16/15 measurements for this system as it was designed for these particular measurements.

If you need a wider bar spread, then you will need a different system using the following parts:

Crossbars, # Y00408
Landing Pads # Y00233 (2 sets of these)
Control Towers, # Y00214
