Can OEM Roof Rails for a 2019 Subaru Ascent Be Used to Support a Roof Basket
Updated 12/22/2025 | Published 10/27/2024
Question:
My car has what appear to be factory installed crossbars that have a slight arch to them. Will these bars support a standard roof basket, or do I need the after-market bars that are perfectly flat? Thanks.

Tyler, you should be fine, but it wouldn't hurt to find out what bars you have so you can double check the weight ratings. These roof baskets, like the Curt Roof Mounted Cargo Basket # C18115-117 are designed to fit most standard and aftermarket roof racks.

Hey Tyler, how did things go with the Curt roof basket on your factory crossbars? Did the slight arch cause any issues with fit or stability? Your feedback could really help others with similar roof racks.
