Best Economy Roof Rack for 2020 Subaru Impreza with Factory Raised Rails and Sunroof
Question:
Will this work on the factory rails on my 2020 Subaru Impreza with sunroof? I'm not looking to spend a ton of money but would like a simple yet dependable solution to transport my mountain bike and the Malone seems to fit the bill. Thoughts?

Yes, the Malone AirFlow2 roof rack # MPG215 is confirmed to fit the factory installed rails on your 2020 Subaru Impreza and while the sunroof will not interfere with the roof rack installation, you'll want to refrain from opening it as it will inevitably get pretty noisy.
The Malone roof rack is really a solid choice considering it comes in at a pretty incredible price point. I actually have had the chance to install a few different roof racks and can tell you that the feet and crossbars are pretty high quality. I have never had any issues and they always fit very well.
While I personally haven't had the opportunity to take one out on the road to do a test with a load on, seeing how many good reviews we have on them gives you a pretty clear idea of what you can expect, so I wouldn't have any worries about using or recommending the Malone rack.
In terms of ease of installation, how well they fit and quality overall, this is the best value roof rack available for your 2020 Subaru Impreza. Attached you'll find a few videos that highlight many of the features of the Malone AirFlow2.
If you are also in the market for a roof bike rack, I highly recommend the Malone Pilot TC ST Roof Bike Rack # MPG2103. It's aluminum construction makes it pretty lightweight and will protect it from rust and corrosion. You also don't have to hassle with removing the front wheel so it saves you time compared to a traditional fork-mount bike rack.
