757.0. "Opinions on Subaru Roof Rack Carrier??" by AQUA::ROST (Obedience to the law guarantees freedom) Fri Jul 01 1988 19:27

    
    Any Subaru wagon owners out there??
    
    Our GL wagon has the fancy roof rack which can be fitted with a
    bike carrier sold by the dealer (instead of buying an entire new
    rack from Thule or whomever).
    
    Has anyone bought this???  Comments???
    
    BTW please don't respond about *other* racks; there are other notes
    for that!!

    I haven't tried the bike carrier, but I think the basic roof-rack
    design sucks.  It can't be locked, and is attached to the roof with
    only a few pop-rivets.  I wouldn't trust it to hold anything
    substantial, so if you ever want to carry anything heavier, you'll
    have to get a Yakima or Thule anyway.
    
    BTW- the wide rain gutters mean that not all aftermarket racks will
    fit; yakima just barely makes it, but I don't know about thule.
