Question:
Have a 2019 Impreza with factory side raised rails, and was wondering if the Yakima frontloader bike carrier would fit on these rails? Thanks

The Yakima FrontLoader # Y02103 will work great on your 2019 Subaru Impreza once you have some crossbars installed on your raised rails.
The Malone SteelTop Roof Rack - Square Crossbars # MPG202 will be compatible but I recommend going with the Malone AirFlow2 # MPG216 instead because it uses aero-style crossbars that not only look better but the aerodynamic shape means they will have less wind noise and drag than the square bars that you were looking at.
