How To Use Square Bar Accessories/Carriers On a 2020 Subaru Outback with Aero Bars
Question:
Do you have an adapter that will allow me to use my older square bar designed stuff bike and kayak on the factory bars of a 2020 Subaru Outback?

Expert Reply:
The best option we offer to use old square bar compatible accessories on a 2020 Subaru Outback would be to switch from the factory aero to aftermarket square crossbars. In order to do this you will need the crossbars part # TH712200 then you can add part # TH460R for the feet and part # THKIT4063 for the fit kit to complete the system.
Unfortunately, there isn't one adapter that will allow for all accessories designed for square crossbars to be used on aero crossbars. There may be one for certain carriers but it would be specific to that carrier so your best option is to switch to the square style
