Roof Rack for a 2018 Subaru WRX to use OEM Subaru Acessories

Question:

I just purchased a 2018 Subaru WRX. It has connections on the sides for cross bars. My accessories include Subaru Kayak Carrier and Subaru Ski Rack. My previous car was a Subaru Impreza 2011 so it had Subaru Aero Crossbars. What do you have that I can use these accessories for my new car?

I recommend the Yakima Jet Stream kit for your application, based on the shape of the previous bars you had. This kit provides you with aero shaped bars that are very similar to the 2011 Subaru Impreza's factory bars.

This rack installs into the fixed points on your roof, however is not compatible if you have a glass roof on your Subaru.

The kit consists of:

JetStream Crossbars, 50 inches, part # Y00425
SkyLine Towers, part # Y53TR
Landing Pad 11 for Yakima Towers, part # Y00233

This rack will provide a mounting point for your existing accessories. This will only work on the Sedan model of the 2018 Subaru WRX. These crossbars are 3-1/8 inch wide and 1 inch tall, so you can pre-measure the mounting hardware of your accessories to ensure a fit.
