Question:
Were do you put your tie downs under hood for the Outback 2015. Took it to the dealer they did not know where either. Would appreciate any help on this. Thank you

Finding a tie down location on a vehicle when carrying kayaks can be a challenge. If there isn't a convenient place available you can use the Malone QuickLash T-Style Hood Loops # MPG308. You will close the cylinder part under the hood away from anything that gets hot or moving parts. The strap part will stay outside of the vehicle providing a tie down point. I have linked a video review showing how they work.
A similar product by Thule, # TH529, goes between a bolt and the vehicle and provides a tie down point.
