Who It's For

This roof rack is ideal for Crosstrek 2018-2023 and Impreza 2017-2023 owners who need a reliable, lockable solution for transporting gear that does not fit inside the vehicle, such as roof boxes, bikes, snowboards, kayaks and ladders. It suits users who prefer a lighter rack system that still carries substantial loads and who want an installation that avoids drilling.

It is not for owners of the Wilderness trim or 2024 Crosstrek; the listing explicitly excludes Wilderness models and notes a separate option for 2024 Crosstrek. Buyers who need a custom-fit or heavier-duty steel rack may want to consider other systems.
