Are these compatible with the 2013 Subaru outback roof rails?

I have a 2010 Outback and they work fine. I don't think the body style changed from 10-13 but I'm not sure?? However, after I purchased and put them up I learned that my Outback had integrated cross bars. There are latches underneath the rails that run from front to back. If you release them another rail pops out and runs from drive side to passenger side. I would imagine your car has them too. Not sure if they'd work for you?Good luck!

I would not believe that they are as the side rails on the forester are not movable and the outbacks are. The answer to this question would also seem to indicate that this is true I am not sure that you need the cross bars.

I have a 2010 forester and they are compatible. I would think they would be. They are noisy if you leave them on when not in use with a cargo bag/carrier. Hope this helps!

Did you find out the answer to this question? I also have a 2012 Outback. Do I need to buy any special crossbars, or can the existing car crossbars work?

It does fit a Subaru 2011 Forester. The mounts have three adapter pieces to accommodate a wide range of side railing thickness. I do not know how close your 2009 roof railings are to those on my 2011 Subaru. I cut a length of one inch EMT conduit & painted flat black to make the cross rails rather than buy those of Yamaha.

Yes. They will fit, the bars will extend approximately 3 " beyond the roof on each side. These side rails are well designed and asthetically pleasing.

Your Subaru dealer may have a better solution. I just got a 2015 Outback, and I already owned two Yakima ski holders and two bike holders (which I used on a Yakima round-bar rack). My Subaru dealer's parts department has "Ski Mounting Clamp" (also called "Crossbar Clamps Vert" part #E361SAJ901) and "Bike Attachment Mounting Clamp" (also called "Crossbar Clamps Hori" part #E361SAJ801) which I am using to attach my legacy Yakima holders directly to the Subaru's crossbars. These clamps are not offered by Yakima. These clamps are much simpler, cheaper, and more secure than Mighty Mounts. I am glad I checked on the Subaru website and found a solution that is superior to the horrible Mighty Mounts.

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

First, you should consult Thule's fit guide. That should be much more reliable than asking random people on Amazon. Secondly, I have these on a 2011 Forester, which probably doesn't have exactly the same side rails, but are probably similar. And you won't use your factory crossbars with these.

The standard (base) package on the Forrester doesn't include rails. If that's your situation, you have to install a "Crossbar Set - Fixed" (dealer order # E3610SG500) that will take the place of these aero bars.

I have no clue. if they are designed similar to roof rails with a slot channel down the middle extending from end to end then yah they might work. I would consult a specialist or see if you can view one at a retail store and test fit or line it up to get a better idea if they would work. sorry

Not unless your oem rack has a round cross-section. I had to cut some stuff, drill holes, and get creative with zip ties to get it to fit my 2013 WRX crossbars.

Yes you would, as these attach to existing roof racks only. Hope this helps!

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 had no issues putting them on a 2013 Subaru Forester. They go over the head rest.

Hello - I can't say for sure. I don't think there were any changes to the rails from the 2013 to the 2014 SR5. What I did was go to Toyota's web site and look up the part. I grabbed the part number and searched it in Amazon. This way I got the correct one for my make / model.

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?

They do fit the 2013 Subaru Forester, but they are extremely difficult to get in, and they make quite a racket. I ditched them and bit the bullet and got the official Subaru ones which are much nicer to put on, and make no noise.

I would guess they would but not familiar with Outback. As long as there are crossbars I would feel confident they would work.
