Yakima RoundBar Roof Rack to Fit 2017 Subaru Outback with Stowable Crossbars

Question

Question:

We have over $1,000 worth of attachments for our Yakima round bars the old style and have now upgraded our vehicle to a 2017 Subaru Outback with the stowing rack bars. The roof rack grab bars we had on our older Subaru will no longer work. Id like to verify that the parts we would need to make it work are Y00148, Y03536, and Y00241? Im also hoping you can verify that you have these parts in stock as our local retail stores are not able to get the at the moment.

The parts you listed are correct to make up the Yakima RoundBar rack for the 2017 Subaru Outback models that use Subaru's stowable rack system like you have. Here's links to each part:

48 inch RoundBars # Y00408
SkyLine Towers # Y53TR
RoundBar Adapter # Y03536
Landing Pad 15 # Y00241

Since it sounds like you may already have crossbars it's possible you don't need new ones. The 48 inch bars are the recommended length but if yours are longer you can use them on your new Outback. They'll just stick out further.
