Thule Wingbar Roof Rack, Bike Rack, and Cargo Box Recommendation for 2011 Subaru Impreza Hatchback

Question:

Hello, I am a repeat and VERY satisfied etrailer customer both in store as I previously lived in St. Louis and mail order now that I live in northern VT. I am interested in a Thule package for a 2011 Subaru Impreza hatchback. Is this roof rack correct for a no factory rails install? Also, what size cargo box and what bike rack do you rec? and locks for all the above. Best regards,

Hey Mark! Thanks for the kind words and business!

The correct Thule Wingbar roof rack for your 2011 Subaru Impreza hatchback that has a totally naked roof would be the # TH711220, # TH460R, and # THKIT3068 that you referenced.

For a roof cargo box the Thule Motion XT part # TH629707 is a really great option for you size vehicle. It has 16 cubic feet of cargo space and has overall dimensions of 77" long x 36" wide x 17" tall which will fit your hatchback roof well and will look great too. This comes with locks by the way but I'll get you set up with the locks you'd need for everything else here in a bit.

If you prefer to keep the front wheel on your bike I recommend the Upride part # TH599000 as it fits the roof rack well, installs easily, and is very secure. The Outride # TH561020 is a really great option for if you prefer the fork mount styles of bike racks.

For locks you'll need a total of 4 for the roof rack and then one for the bike rack...but what you might be most happy with is a kit that allows you to also use the same key for your roof box. So for that you'd want the kit # TH450800 which comes with enough cores to allow you to use the same key for all of your Thule racks!

I hope Vermont is treating at least as well as Lake Saint Louis was!
