Question:

Can you open moonroof with Thule rack on top of my 2019 Subaru Outback touring

asked by: Jeff

Expert Reply:

Roof rack manufacturers don't recommend opening the sun or moonroof on any vehicle with a roof rack installed as it may make contact with the crossbars or mounted accessories and it will cause a lot of whistling. This is the same case for the Thule AeroBlade Edge Roof Rack for your 2019 Subaru Outback Touring. You may be able to get it to open without contacting the roof rack but again, it will cause quite a bit of wind noise so it isn't recommended.

Here are the parts you need for this roof rack:

34" WingBar Edge Crossbars - # TH96FE
Edge Flush Rail Feet - # TH89SC
Fit Kit - # TH186047
Lock Core Kit - # TH450400

Let me know what you will be using the roof rack for and I can make additional recommendations as necessary.
