Rail Delete instal/Rail install. Runnah?

THULE?!?!?!?!?!? :dontknow:

$249 puts load bars on the car. It's gonna be a minimum of $204 even if you have rails.

que?

I was trying to suggest putting a Thule rack on. Lots easier without tearing apart the interior.

Andrew is absolutely correct, Thule is not the most beautiful option. The factory rails and some cross bars will be a nice clean, factory looking, install.

oh the clamp on thule racks. yeah, those are easier but they tear up your paint when dirt and everything else inevitably gets between the pads and your roof, then you're left with 4 sandblasted rectangles when you remove them.

I think this thread is seriously making a case for a tow hitch and hitch-mounted bike rack.

I think that is the way to go. Pedro and Ruggedman have the hitch, and I saw it last night. I think it is hidden enough...

The factory Subaru one kinda hangs down and is clearly visable from behind.

I actually did the install on the hitch that Shorty sold me. Wasn't bad at all, 'cept for the part of the instructions that said "now take that brandy-new car that you adore and CUT PART OF THE BUMPER OFF" sort of scared me a bit.

I persevered, and am super happy with the results. Took me ~1 - 1.5 hours to complete, iirc.
