Question:

Hey guys! I have a 2017 Subaru Legacy that has a plain roof. Id like to get racks for snowboarding specifically. The ones I want are by Yakima. My question is, do I need to get crossbars first, then connect the snowboard bars to that? Or can I get something that is all in one? From the looks of photos you have to connect the snowboard bars to the crossbars to work. Please let me know, Thank you!

For your 2017 Subaru Legacy with a naked roof you will first need to install a roof rack with crossbars that run from side to side so that you can mount a snowboard rack.

Since you like Yakima their round bar roof rack that consists of part numbers # Y00409, # Y28TR, # Y03536, # Y06145, and # Y06130 would be where you would want to start.

Then depending on how many boards you want to carry we have a couple options. We have the part # Y03095 which will carry up to 2 board or the part # Y03096 for up to 4 boards. These are both the FatCat line of snowboard racks.
