Can Thule DockGlide and Compass Fit Together on Roof of 2018 Subaru Outback Wagon
Question:
Is it possible to fit a Thule Compass and a set of Thule DockGlide on Subaru Outback 2018 Touring? We bought Thule Compass for 2 kayaks but found it difficult to load/unload the kayaks from the center of the car roof. Therefore, we are considering using Compass for 1 kayak, and DockGlide for the other. Thanks.

Expert Reply:
The Thule DockGlide part # TH896 is a confirmed fit for the factory crossbars of your 2018 Subaru Outback Wagon and could easily fit with the Thule Compass # TH890000 as long as the width of your kayaks would allow the two to fit. The max kayak width the DockGlide can fit is 36 inches so you might use that as a guide to determine how much room you'd have with a kayak loaded in the Compass.
