Question:

I have. A 2018 Subaru Outback limited 3.6. I’d like to fit a set of existing long Thule square bars on it. Do you have a set of feet/risers to adapt these square bars to the built on roof ? I can send a photo of the big mounded rack that is standard on the car.

Expert Reply:

We do have a square bar roof rack system that will fit your 2018 Subaru Outback Limited with factory raised rails. For the Towers you will want the Thule Evo feet # TH710601. For the fit kit it will be part # TH37CE.

Please note that only the new Thule square bars will work with this setup. The new bars have a channel in the bottom of the bar, and the feet attach to the bottom of the bar. Old Thule square bars do not have this channel on the bottom and cannot be used with the new Evo feet.

If you find yourself in need of a new roof rack system, I recommend the Malone Airflow 2 # MAL84AR. This will simply clamp down to the raised side rails on your Outback. This includes locks for the towers and the aero bar design will accommodate virtually any roof rack accessory.
