Lowest Profile Roof Rack for 2011 Subaru Outback Wagon with Raised Side Rails

Question

Question:

I have a 2011 Subaru Outback. I need recommendations for roof rack cross bars. I intend to carry an iKamper 3 mini. The existing roof rack is a raised factory installed. I would like the system to be as low profile as possible. Thank you in advance for your assistance.

The lowest profile roof racks available are the flush bar style where the crossbar is between the feet that attach to the raised rails of your 2011 Outback instead of the racks that have the bar that attach to the top of the feet. So hte best option would be the Thule Wingbar Edge part numbers # TH96FE and # TH69SC that is a confirmed fit for your vehicle.
