Recommended Roof Rack for a 2019 Subaru Crosstrek w/ Side Rails
Question:
I have a 2019 Subaru Crosstrek. I would like to get a recommendation for a pair of cross bars that I could get for the factory-installed roof rack on the car. Im looking for something as heavy duty as possible for occasionally carrying sheet wood, kayaks, etc. and from a brand that offers a wide array of accessories for the rack.

I have a great a set of crossbars that will fit the factory side rails of your 2019 Subaru Crosstrek and will have plenty of capacity for lumber, kayaks, and many other accessories. You will want the roof rack by Rhino Rack and it includes the following parts:
Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 46" Long - Qty 2 item # RRVA118B-2
Rhino-Rack SX Series Legs for Vortex Aero Crossbars - Qty 4 item # RRSX100
This aero bar roof rack system has a 165 lbs capacity. The included locks will prevent theft. The rubberized vortex strips in the top channels dramatically reduce drag and wind noise. The crossbars are 46" long x 3-1/8" wide x 1-3/16" tall.
I have linked a couple of pictures, along with a video, that will show you what this system will look like when installed on your Crosstrek.
For a compatible kayak carrier that will allow you to transport two kayak's, I recommend the the Thule Compass Kayak and SUP Carrier w/ Tie-Downs item # TH890000.
