Attaching Thule Roof Cargo Basket To Roof Rack

Question

Question:

Hello! I just purchased a used Thule roof carrier and would like to know what components to order to attach it to my 2003 Subaru Outback Legacy. The Subaru has a stock roof rack attached to it with horizontal bars. I cant find the serial number for the carrier but theres a sticker inside that suggests that it was produced in 2007. Any info re: parts and instructions for attaching it to my car would be much appreciated. Thank you!

With the Yakima LoadWarriors like the part #Y07070 what you'd do is use either the front bar of the basket as the front crossbar, or you can use the part #8870042 so that you can use the fairing, and then use the rear rail edge of the basket for…

For a roof rack to be compatible on your 2020 Jeep Wrangler with Sky One-Touch Power Top, it can't be mounted on the top of the roof and it needs to be high enough for the folding roof to clear. What you need are tall gutter-mounted roof racks.…
