Canoe tie-down points for 2017 Crosstrek Hi I always cartopped things easily on my Forester, but now Im mystified as to how to do it on my new car. I need a solution by early October. My problem is where to attach the front and back ropes to the car. The racks are not an issue Thanks

I have the perfect product for you and your 2017 Subaru Crosstrek. I recommend the Malone Hood Loops for Thule Bow/Stern Tie-Downs - Qty 2 Item # MPG308. Close the cylinder of one under the hood and the cylinder for the other close in the rear hatch, leaving the straps out on both, and that will create 2 easy to access and use tie down points to secure the canoe. I have linked a video below showing how they work.
