Will Old Thule Square Crossbars Work On a 2019 Subaru Crosstrek

Published 10/11/2022

Question:

Ive acquired a set of roof rack crossbars with no mounting hardware. I believe the brand is Thule. I am interested to find out what hardware is required to get these crossbars mounted on my 2019 Subaru Crosstrek. I can provide photos to help with identifying the crossbars. Thank you for your help.

I do have an option for you but Thule changed the designed of their square crossbars and they no longer support the older style. The new style has a channel underneath on either side for mounting whereas the old style was just a square bar. We don't have any options for mounting the older style. The only option for a roof rack on your 2019 Subaru Crosstrek with this in mind is a new system, the Malone SteelTop Roof Rack part # MPG202 is our most cost effective method. They are very similar to the old Thule bars as well so they will fit all the same accessories.
