Will My Shark Fin Antenna Be in the Way of a Rooftop Tent on My 2024 Subaru Ascent?
Updated 09/05/2025 | Published 09/03/2025
Question:
2024 Subaru Ascent- Raised Rails Would this be able to accommodate a rooftop tent and allow clearance for the shark fin antenna? I just ordered the low profile Vortex crossbars but did not account for the shark fin antenna when trying to mount a rooftop tent.

Hello Josh,
You’ll be just fine, the raised rails will give you the clearance you need.
The Rhino-Rack Sportz Roof Rack for Raised Rails - Aluminum - Black - Qty 2 # RR24CG is a great choice for your 2024 Subaru Ascent. I’ve attached a picture of the Thule Approach M Rooftop Tent - 3 Person - 600 lbs - Dark Gray # TH54TE mounted on a Kia (I didn’t have one on a Subaru), so you can see how the shark fin antenna sits at the rear and how there’s plenty of clearance for a tent.
Do you already have a rooftop tent? If so, what did you go with?
