Does Thule SnowPack Ski/Snowboard Rack Require Crossbars to Install on Vehicle Roof
Question:
I have a 2021 Subaru Crosstrek with side rails. I dont have any cross bars installed currently. Will this product fit with the stock side rails? Or do I need to purchase crossbars?

Expert Reply:
All of the ski/snowboard solutions we offer for the roofs of vehicles like your 2021 Subaru Crosstrek do require crossbars that run from left to right. This includes the Thule # TH732508 that you referenced.
So since you have raised side rails an easy roof rack solution is the Rhino Rack roof rack part numbers # RRVA118B-2 and # RRSX100 which is a confirmed fit and also is a high quality roof rack at a better price than other racks that rival its quality.
