Recommended Roof Rack for a 2014 Subaru Crosstrek w/ Side Rails
Question:
Hello! I have a 2014 subaru crosstrek, I have only the manufactured rails on top nothing more. I see I need a middle bar? Im not sure what i would all need to make this work?

Since your 2014 Subaru Crosstrek has the factory rails you will need a set of crossbars to mount accessories like the Yakima ReelDeal Rooftop Fishing Rod Carrier item # Y04089 you were looking at. There is a system that mounts directly to the side rails and has more than enough capacity for a fishing pole carrier. 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 - Raised Factory Side Rails - Qty 4 item # RRSX100
This aero bar roof rack system has a 165 lbs capacity. The included locks will deter theft. The rubberized vortex strips in the top channels dramatically reduce drag and wind noise.
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 Subaru.
