Is the Inno Wedge 660 a Good Fit for the 2015 Subaru Outback Wagon with Factory Crossbars

Updated 05/05/2021 | Published 05/04/2021

Question:

I have a 2015 Subaru Outback wagon, I think it may be the Premium, with Factory Installed Permanent Black Crossbars. These are the bars that fold backfoot into the roof holders when not in use. Your site has pics of this on an Outback, I cant tell the model/year, or if the lift gate will fully open. 1 Will it grip the factory cross bars ok? The bars themselves, are 2 1/4inch wide, and about 1/2inch thick/tall. 2 Can the rear lift gate fully open? The bars spacing is about 29 3/4inch apart. The rear bar is 19 1/2inch from the seam on the lift gate. There is an antenna bumpfoot back there also.

We have tested the Inno Wedge 660, part # INBRM660BK, on a 2015 Subaru Outback Wagon. I've linked to a video of this fit below.

As you can see in the video, this Outback has the factory rack like yours. The clamps of the Wedge fit around the crossbar without a problem. The only thing you'll need to consider is making sure the clamps don't overlap. They can touch, but not overlap.

You will also see in the video that the hatch is able to fully open, so there isn't a worry there.

All in all, this cargo box will be a great fit for your Outback.
