2015 Subaru Outback ,i measured from the center of the first cargo rail to the seam of the hatch which came to exactly 51.I am looking to fit the Thule Force XT.without interference from the hatch.just need a second opinion before i pull the trigger.

Expert Reply:
The Force XT cargo box # TH6358B requires at least 51-1/8 inches from the bar center to the seam between the roof and hatch so it will barely not fit since you have 51 inches (unless you don't mind the hatch and cargo box making contact with each other).
The Force XT Sport, # TH6356B, would fit because it requires just 48-1/8 inches. The Sonic L, # TH634B will fit requiring just 43-7/8 inches.
You can also use a Pulse L, # TH615, which needs 46-3/8 inches, and the Pulse M, # TH614, which needs just 42-5/8 inches. Take a look at each of these boxes to see if any of them will fit your needs. Fit information has not been updated from Thule yet to include the 2015 Outback but I am almost certain fit would not be an issue.
