Will the Lift Gate on a 2018 Subaru Outback Clear the RockyMounts MonoRail

Question:

I asked this yesterday, but I think I wasn’t clear enough with my question. I’m wondering if the liftgate on my 2018 Subaru Outback will open with this rack on my car with no bike and folded in the stowed position. From the video you posted it looks like there might be enough space, but I’m not 100 sure. Thanks for your help!

No, the liftgate on your 2018 Subaru Outback will not clear the RockyMounts MonoRail # RKY10007 while in the stowed position - you'd need to tilt the rack away from the hatch in order to get the liftgate to open.
