Question:

I have a 2015 Subaru Crosstrek with 58inch Malone AirFlow Universal Cross Bars on the OEM roof rails. On this sits a Yakima Carbonite Skybox NX 16. I am looking for a single kayak carrier that will allow me to keep the Skybox on the car. The kayak is listed as 33inch wide adn 12inch tall. Will this carrier work? Are there other options that would also work, including load assist carriers?

You'd have plenty of room to install the Rhino-Rack J-Style Kayak Carrier # S510 on the 58 inch crossbars # MPG202 you have now with your 35 inch wide Yakima Carbonite Skybox 16 # Y95AV.
