What Feet Do I Need to Attach My Rhino Vortex Bars to My 2021 Subaru Crosstrek with Raised Rails?

Question:

I already have Rhino Rack vortex aero bars RRVA118B. Will these bars fit these footers?

Hello Jason,

Yes, just as long as your 2021 Subaru Cosstrek has the factory raised rails and not the factory flush rails (please refer to the picture I attached) then the Rhino-Rack RX100 Legs for Vortex Crossbars # RR97AP are exactly what you need to get your vortex bars mounted and put them to good use! I attached an install video for you to reference to make the install as easy as possible for you.

Please let us know what you think of the set up when you get it installed, and feel free to send a picture of your favorite thing to haul with them. If you are looking for that special part to haul your favorite thing like a bike, snowboard, cargo carrier, etc. please let me know and I will get you some part numbers.

Hey Jason, how did the setup with your Vortex Aero Bars and the RX100 legs work out on your Crosstrek? It’d be great to hear how the fit turned out. Your feedback could help others looking to mount the same combo.
