Question:

Hi I want to change my thule square bars and feet from my factory roof rails. I do have keys. Hubby mech savvy but cant seem to figure it out. My local retailer is backed up so thats not really an option. We are wanting to install said rack onto a Subaru Crosstrek 2018 from a Nissan Rogue 2008. Doable? Thank you SO MUCH!

Expert Reply:

You should be able to simply remove the old rails from your 2008 Nissan Rogue and install them on the raised factory side rails of the 2018 Subaru Crosstrek. The length will absolutely be a fit because both require the 50 inch load bar, so there is not even cutting required. It will be an easy swap for you with these attached videos.

That system is being discontinued, so you may also want to consider upgrading to the newer bars and feet. The new system consists of either the Thule Squarebar # TH712400 with integrated slots on the bottom or the aero style Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars - 53" # TH711420 and Evo Raised Rail Feet # TH710401. Finally I recommend adding locks # TH450400 to secure your system.
