Are the Yakima JetStream Crossbars on a 2019 Subaru Ascent Compatible w/ Yakima & Thule Attatchments

Question 1

Question:

Greetings, I am leaning towards purchasing the Yakima Timberline Towers with Jetstream Crossbars for my Subaru Ascent. I already have a set of Thule Portage Canoe attachment, and a set of Yakima Keel Over Canoe attachment. Can both the Portage and Keel Over attach via the T-Slot in the Yakima Timberline. In other words, are they interchangeable or proprietary, such that the Yakima Keel Over attaches only to Jetstream T-slot, and the Portage only to the Wingbar Evo T-slot. Many thanks for your help!

The TimberLine Towers # Y33TR and Yakima JetStream Crossbars # Y00426 are confirmed to fit your 2019 Subaru Ascent and are going to be a great option to use both your Thule Portage Canoe attachment and Yakima Keel Over Canoe attachment. You will be able to use the Thule Portage and the Yakima Keel Over with the JetStream crossbars without issue.

You can also add the Yakima Same Key System (SKS) Lock Cores # Y07204. This will allow you to lock your roof rack to your roof.

Question 2

Question:

Hi, this is a follow-up question. Which adapters can I use to mount a set of Yakima Keel Over attachments and a set of Thule Portage attachments directly to Jetstream bars using the Jetstreams T-slot. Thanks.

Both the Yakima KeelOver Rooftop Canoe Carrier # Y04069 and the Thule Portage Canoe Carrier # TH819 have a universal fit style that will fit the JetStream crossbars without the need to purchase T-slot adapters. However, if you are still wanting to get T-slot adapters the Thule Xadapt12 Watersports Adapter # THXADAPT12 will be the correct T-slot adapters for the Thule Portage. Unfortunately the Yakima KeelOver does not have an adapter to allow it to be used in the T-slot channel. That being said, you will still be able to use the KeelOver, it will just need to be clamped around your JetStream cross bars.
