Will the Etrailer J-Style Kayak Carrier Fit a 2016 Subaru Outback Wagon with Factory Crossbars?

Question:

It has the crossbars that can fold out of the way. Couldnt tell from your video if the Subaru featured had that style of crossbar, if it makes a difference in the fit.

If you have a 2016 Subaru Outback Wagon that has the fold-in factory crossbars, it will not effect the compatibility of the etrailer J-Style Kayak Carrier - Folding - Universal Mount # e98878 with the crossbars. However, it is important to note that the etrailer kayak carrier will fit crossbars with maximum dimensions of 3-1/8 inches wide x 1-1/2 inches tall. In order to make sure that your crossbars are compatible, I recommend measuring those dimensions of your crossbars.
