Hey Gary. Does your 2022 Subaru Outback have side rails mounted on the roof just above the doors? That's what the Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack item # MAL84AR attaches to.

I attached a picture below that a customer sent in so you can see what I'm talking about.

Does your Outback have something different on the roof?

I don’t have the Wilderness version so the Malone racks won’t work. Thanks Gary

@JerredH You're welcome. I checked with our vendors and since you do not have the roof rails, you'll need the Yakima SkyLine Roof Rack for Fixed Mounting Points -item # Y39TB. Does yours have some kind of rail on the top or is your roof completely bare. I checked with our vendors and no one has the clamps needed for a bare roof.

@JerredH For three times the cost I’ll pass. Thanks again
