Does it fit 2004 Subaru Outback? Curious if the SportRack Aero 1300 Roof Box fits properly on a 2004 Subaru Outback wagon - and still allows for the back hatch to open fully?

It should. I have an 05 and an 06 Forester, and it fits both easily. I had to adjust the factory bars a bit to fit the width of the mounting brackets, but that is easy. Subaru included a torx screwdriver for that in my glove box. I had to slide the rear one forward about 6 inches, and the front one rearward about a foot. When I open the trunk, the washer nozzle comes within 1/4 inch without touching, and the front of the box is maybe a foot behind the top of my front window. The Outback is bigger than the Forester, so I would think it would fit.

The roof box will fit all rack systems; round, square, rectangle, oblong and other shapes will be accommodated. The mounting system may not be as convenient as those on the more expensive boxes, but for the price this box can not be beat. It is actually manufactured by "T". Although lighter in weight than the Yakima box I owned previously, it is just as serviceable. I have gone cross country numerous times without any issues; rain, hail, sleet, snow (blizzard) without any leaks or other issues. Would purchase it again without any hesitation.

Hi Neal, our boxes will fit to the factory installed crossbars systems. We do have a fitment chart available to determine rear hatch clearance. If you would like a copy please contact us direct. What we would need to know is the distance from your front crossbar to the fist point of contact when the hatch is open, that measurement will allow us to determine which models will fit without interference. Thanks!

Pulled up some pictures of the crossbars on the Outback, and it looks like they should fit without any problems. One photo I found showed a set of Yakima racks mounted to the stock bars of an Outback, so these should do the same. The mounting hardware for both are almost identical.

If your wagon came with the front-to-back roof rails, these crossbars will fit. I would advise against purchasing them, as they have to be removed every time you're finished using them, then remounted for the next use. Otherwise, you will be driving around with noise that sounds like a small airplane is about to land on your roof, and unable to use the radio or talk to anyone in the vehicle. My last car was a Toyota Sienna minivan, which came equipped with aerodynamic, noiseless crossbars, so I know these square-sided crossbars that I recently bought for my Jetta wagon are a poor choice unless you don't mind mounting and re-mounting them for each use.

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

Don't know exactly if it will fit your vehicle, however the SkyBox is fully adjustable to fit bars on the roof that go from left to right across the roof. I simply adjusted mine on my 99 4Runner so that it would just clear the back hatchback to open fully. Once adjusted, they don't need adjusting again. Just mount on the rack, clamp it down and your done. Hope this helps.

The cover should definitely fit. I have a 2013 Subaru Outback and it fits perfectly. Good luck.

It's better on Highlander 2012 with Yakima cross bars than the factory ones, but still slightly interferes with the hatch. Since we had the skybox already and the cost of shipping back was half the price of the item itself, we ended up drilling extra mounting holes in the Skybox instead - even that it's not recommended by Yakima and voids the warranty. So if you did not order any of those yet, it may make sense to keep looking for a different cargo box for Highlander 2012.

I bought mine for a 2006 Subaru Outback. It fit. Just follow the details in the instructions.

I have a 2013 Crosstrek, to my knowledge Subaru did not change the front bumper in 2014 but I'd check with your dealer or Subaru first. If it does fit it looks really good! Good luck!

I am not sure about the Outback, I own the 2013 Crosstrek and it fits perfectly, I would probably call a dealer and ask about the hook similarities...hope that helped?

I have a 2013 Jetta Sportwagen and it fits just fine. Not really visible either. Who said that? It fits under and back from the bumper.

My set came with 3, seperate, backseat head rest. Again, I have a 2007 Ford Escape and with a little tugging and fanagling, it looks pretty good. I don't know if it will fit your Subaru Forsester or not, but the seatcovers are well worth trying. If they do not fit, you can easily return them. I just put the back seatcover on and then poked two holes where the head rests were. It worked well. Or just take off the headrests and do not use the head rest covers. If you don't mind that the headrest are not on the backseat that is. Either way, it looked great in my car.

This will work for a 2013 Subaru Outback. There is a new updated part number, H501SFJ001. We have this part in stock and ready to ship out today if you click on our link.

It fit my 2013 Outback. If the bars on the top are the same as the Outback and can move perpendicular to the door, it should fit. There are a couple different sets of holes for the anchor part to go through (and stickers to cover the holes you don't use).

I purchased this for my parents. They have a Honda Pilot. It fits perfectly. Your Outback most likely has a longer roof than the Pilot. I would recommend verifying the Outback dimensions vs the Honda Pilot. I think it would fit yours. It really is fantastic. Just make sure you fold the flaps down over the zipper or water will get in during a rain storm.
