Feet Needed To Mount A Rhino-Rack Platform On A 2024 Subaru Ascent With Raised Rails
Question:
Hi, I was going to buy a used Rhino Rack platform 60x56 to fit onto my Subaru Ascent, but the feet did not clamp completely over my factory raised roof rails. What parts would I need to make this work? Would I just swap the feet with Rhino Rack SX100? Would other brand feet like Thule clamps from EVO Wingbar fit onto Rhino Rack platform? I am considering to buy more parts to make the fit, but hoping not to buy too many unnecessary extras to break the bank. Thanks in advance.

Expert Reply:
The Rhino-Rack SX Series Legs for Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRSX100 are confirmed to fit your Ascent's raised rails and would be able to slide into the rails under the platform in order to mount it. I've attached a snippet below from the installation manual of the platform that shows how to do this. This would save you the cost of crossbars or any other adapters to make different branded components work with your platform.
