Question:
I have a 2014 Forester 2.5i base model with manufacturer fixed crossbars i.e, no side rails. I bought the Loadwarrior thinking it would fit perfectly but it was a real stretch. With the Loadwarrior being 44inch long, Im thinking the Megawarrior would fit better at 52inch long given my crossbars are fixed 32inch spread from the center of each crossbar. Can you confirm? Thanks.

Expert Reply:
The Yakima MegaWarrior, # Y07080, is designed to fit on crossbar spreads of 30 to 38 inches measured from the center of the front bar to the center of the rear bar. The wider the spread without going over 38 inches, the more stable the basket will be. The MegaWarrior does fit on wider bar spreads than the LoadWarrior # Y07070 but there is also an extension available, # Y07074, which will make the LoadWarrior 18 inches longer if you wanted to go that route.
