For example, some Subaru crossbars are wider and flatter, providing more flexibility for mounting different roof accessories, while others are designed for specific models and may have different features such as noise reduction and aesthetics.

If you have a specific Subaru model in mind, it’s recommended to consult the vehicle owner’s manual or reach out to a Subaru dealership to ensure that you select the appropriate crossbars for your vehicle.
