Question:

I have a 2016 Subaru crosstrek with a sunroof and was wondering if this model will fit it so the hatch will open and it wont cover the sunroof thanks.

The best thing for you to do with your 2016 Subaru Crosstrek is to measure. Due to the Rhino Rack # RMCB adjustability it can mount on a wide range of roof rack crossbar spreads from 21 - 30 inches.

If your crossbar spread is 30 you will have about 7-1/2 inches of carrier on either side of the crossbar. If your crossbar spread is 21 then you will have about 10 inches of cargo carrier on either side of the crossbar.

If you can try to get the crossbars as close to centered as possible on the roof and tell me what the center to center crossbar spread is, then I can tell you how far the carrier will stick off both sides for clearance on your 2016 Subaru Crosstrek.

I have linked the above mentioned product to this page for your convenience.
