  • The Replacement Lower Rubber Cover Strip for Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars # TH79VW is the correct part you would need for your Thule roof rack on your 2019 Subaru Crosstrek.

You will not have to trim it. I attached a review video link below.

Similar to the Loading Bars, these are a universal load assist system that will allow you to load one canoe, kayak surfboard or ladder easily with one person.

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2016 Subaru Crosstrek
  • The owner's manuals I'm able to find online for a 2016 and 2017 Subaru Crosstrek don't mention flat towing at all. Your best bet is to check with Subaru to find out if it can be flat towed, and what steps are necessary to do so. From what I have found both model years can be flat towed since you have a manual transmission but I still recommend verifying with Subaru. Also, both models use the same parts to be flat towed so what I recommend works with either the 2016 or the 2017. For...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2018 Subaru Crosstrek with Manual Transmission
  • To get your 2018 Subaru Crosstrek set up for flat towing I recommend the Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate Kit # RM-52927-5 because I think it has a slightly easier installation than some others. Then the etrailer SD Non-Binding Tow Bar # e74ZR paired with the Replacement Base Pins # RM-910029 to attach to the base plate. The etrailer tow bar will come with the needed safety chains. I prefer the installed braking systems because you wont have to mess with moving the system in and out...

  • Tongue Weight Rating For A Draw-Tite Hitch 1-1/4 Using A 1-1/4 To 2 Inch Adapter
  • After installing The Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # 36644 onto your 2019 Subaru Crosstrek, the hitch has a tongue weight of 350 pounds. You're only as strong as your weakest component, so you would need to check your vehicle's manual to find the proper tongue weight recommendation for your vehicle. To make your 1-1/4 inch hitch to a 2 inch hitch The Hitch Adapter # HTAD is needed. Using this adapter will cut the tongue weight in half so 350 pounds of tongue weight turns into 175 pounds...

  • Recommended 7 Way for 2020 Subaru Crosstrek for Use with Curt Echo Brake Controller
  • With a 4 way flat already installed on your 2020 Subaru Crosstrek, you're well on your way and installing a 7 way is relatively easy. Since you're wanting to use the Curt Echo # C51180, I recommend using the # ETBC7L, which doesn't require a connection to a brake controller wire inside the vehicle's cabin. To complete the install you'll need to run a 12 gauge wire, which is included (along with a circuit breaker), from the rear of the vehicle up to the battery; you'll want to run this...

  • Bolt Size Used to Install 2" EcoHitch Trailer Hitch on a 2018 Subaru Crosstrek
  • The bolts that are used to install the EcoHitch Stealth Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7365 on your 2018 Subaru Crosstrek are 1/2”-13 x 2” size grade 8 hex bolts. Please note that new hardware must be used each time a trailer hitch is installed as they are only made to be torqued once. Since you have a newer vehicle it is unlikely that you are transferring this trailer hitch but this is always good to note. If you let me know what you will be using the trailer hitch for I can make additional...

  • For your application I recommend the LED Light Strip Kit with Wireless IR Remote # DG52694 as well as the Add-On LED Light Strip # DG52697 (which I confirmed will work together according to my contact at Diamond Group). Each of these kits comes with 33' of light strip so you'll have right at the 66' length you're looking for, plus these have a rubber-type construction so they are flexible enough to accommodate the 90 degree angle you are needing to use.
