Question:

We have a 2021 Crosstrek with factory rails. We also have 47” wing bars from the Car we traded. Can we use these 47” bars and these feet on our new Crosstrek, or do we have to buy longer bars? Thanks

Expert Reply:

I can make a recommendation based on published information about this vehicle and my understanding of roof racks, but Thule has not yet released roof rack fit information for the 2021 Subaru Crosstrek due to the facelift and aesthetic tweaks this model received compared to the previous Crosstreks. My recommendation is not a confirmed fit on your vehicle.

With that being said, after comparing the dimensions between the 2020 Subaru Crosstrek and the 2021 one, it looks like the roof dimensions stayed the same. The 2020 Crosstrek used Thule Wingbar Evo Crossbars sized 50" # TH711300 or 53" # TH711400 with the Evo Raised Rail Feet # TH710401. With the factory rails on your new SUV, the Evo Feet # TH710401 are a match, but you'll need longer bars than your 47" ones. According to Thule, the 50" Wingbars # TH711300 are the best match for the 2020 Subaru Crosstrek, but you can also get the 53" # TH711400 if you want a bit more overhang. These bars also come in the color black: 50" # TH711320, or 53" # TH711420.
