Question:

Hi, Looking for advice in getting roof rack set up for Subaru Outback 2015 with built in crossbars to get RTT on it. I had roof top tent installed on built in crossbars last year, but its not ideal. I also was checking last year what solution would be the best and found on your website adapters for my car model that go directly into the mounting holes where the current removable built in crossbars currently sit. I did also see instructional videos on your website for these adapters. I dont see this option anymore, can you please check and advice? Also, if this option with adapters is not available anymore, can you suggest something else? Thanks Matej

Unfortunately, those adapters are no longer available. Instead, I'd recommend going with the Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars # TH711100 with the Evo Flush Rail Feet for Thule Crossbars # TH710601 and the Fit Kit for Thule Evo Flush Rail and Edge Flush Rail Roof Rack Feet # TH37CE.

These are going to attach to your OEM bars, so they're not going to replace them but this setup with work great with a rooftop tent like the Thule Tepui Explorer Kukenam 3 Rooftop Tent # TH8001KSK04.
