were you able to install the cross bars with the roof rack already installed? I purchased the CX-9 with roof rack, and then bought OEM cross bars. I can't seem to install the cross bars with the roof rack installed. The roof rack ends slide into the...

I'm trying to follow what you are explaining. I believe your problem is that you need to install the clamps for the cross bars on the roof rails before you put the crossbars in them. The instructions should explain everything. If you need any further assistance, feel free to email me back and I can try to get a more detailed explanation for you. Thank you, Richie Mastria Mazda Parts Team

My SUV came with the roof racks already installed. The cross bars were extra and thats what I purchased from Amazon and installed them myself.

I did not have any trouble installing the cross bars on my 2006 Hemi Commander. What you see is what you get. The knob on top was a concern at first but it no longer worries me that it stands out. My last Grand Cherokee had a lower profile that was more appeasing to the eye. It was a Jeep product and quite a bit more expensive.

Yes, this attaches to the cross bars on an existing roof rack, but what I love about this system is that it works just fine on factory racks, no need to buy an aftermarket one. They do make a system that does not require a rack, it is simply foam pads you put directly on the roof with straps and tie downs. Just a thought if you don't have a rack and don't want to buy one.

I have the same car and cross bar, but don't have the parts #. I bought mine (EOM, and not aftermarket) from Amazon and was supplied by BMW Minnetoka. Price was good and they were very easy to install. I hope this help.

the side rails are already on my crosstrek. The rack I bought is only the cross bars. I don't know the part numbers.

You have to have the cross bars on your car to mount the ski rack. we did not, so we also bought SUBARU CROSSBAR SET FOR IMPREZA 2008-2011 WRX AND STI 2008-2012 along with the ski and snowboard rack. Mounted the cross bars on the car and attached the ski rack to that. Everything fit great!

Hi Chris, If you have Thule Square Crossbars, then you can install a Thule Fairing and the 594XT. The 594XT will stick out past the front bar as well as the fairing.Thank you for the inquiry and have a great day!

I have the 2015 JGC and there are roof mounted rails attached directly to the roof. In the top of the factory rail there is a slot that allows for the cross bars to clamp into place. The cross rails have 2 screws beneath the rubber top surface. The outermost screw is the one that operated the clamps and the innermost attached the cross rail to the bracket. The cross rails rest about 3" above the roof and the cross rails when put in place properly are dead quiet. Hope this helps.

Yes I installed it by screwing into the cross member in the roof, be careful not to go though the top of your car

You can check if your car will work on Yakima's website. I have a Honda Element with factory roof rack - zero issues. The Skybox has adjustable clamps that move to wherever your crossbars are located. I went through the selections on here - and looks like you shouldn't have a problem: http://www.yakima.com/fit/Information

If you have the metal, C-channel installed, that's all you should need. My kit came with all of the mounting hardware for the cross-beams. I do, however, recommend getting an air deflector for the front cross-bar. It will whistle and hum like hell. Or you have to move the bars way back, and then move them up again to use them. I did a lot of research about the noise. I ended up getting the 32" or 36" from Rhino. It's was the best quality for being affordable. And it was small enough not to interfere with the sun-roof. Thule and Yakima also make them. Just measure the distance between your rails. Good luck. Hope this helped. If you have the metal, C-channel installed, that's all you should need.

Hi Kim, I have a Subaru legacy. It did NOT originally have a roof rack/ crossbars, so I had Subaru install Subaru made crossbars. Once i had Crossbars I only needed this saddle/ kayak rack. They are adjustable to the fit the Crossbars you have, and once on you can pop the kayak right on top! Best of luck and happy kayaking!-Amy

Hi Ken, I have a 2003 Sport Trac with the same roof rails as your 05. Were you successful with these cross bars?

Hi Andre, you will need to see our "buyer's guide" for the recommended Thule roof rack system for your vehicle. The crossbars are separate to this product, but both are compatible. Thanks!

The front cross bar fit absolutely perfectly. The rear cross bar was not a perfect fit. The only way I can describe the fitment is it almost looked as if the rear rail was warped. One screw hole on each end of the bar was about a quarter inch bent in. When you put the screw through the cross bar and then the existing rail, the "warped fitment" is pulled out and sits flush. It's odd that it would lay that way initially, but the problem is corrected once the the screws are in place.

If your cross bars are less than 3 to 3.5 inches wide it will fit without modification. If they are wider than 3.5 inches you will have to make new brackets to attach to the cross bar. I used 1 inch wide flat bar steel and 2 inch long bolts to mount it to my coross bars. Total cost was about $30.00 and took about 3 hours to fabricate.
