Is There a Universal Adapter for Channel Mounted Accessories to Be Used on a Factory Subaru Rack

Updated 06/20/2022 | Published 06/17/2022

Question:

Hello, Do you sell any adapters that would allow an accessory designed for installation on a crossbar channel/t-bolt slot to be used with standard, factory Subaru racks aero-shaped? It seems like one of these large companies using channel crossbars must sell an adapter, but I have been unable to locate one.

There are some adapters out there. But, they are often brand/accessory specific. The Universal MightyMounts for Yakima Roof Mounted Accessories # Y03590 would allow you to use a Yakima BasketCase, most Yakima bike mounts, ski mounts and watersport accessories on your Subaru rack. But there are still some Yakima products they will not work for and they will not work for other brands.

There is not a generic universal adapter that works across all brands and products. If you can provide me with what products you are needing to adapt, I would be happy to see if there is an option available for you.
