Roof Rack Fit on 2021 Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid With Flush Side Rails

Question:

59786. Does this product fit a 2021 Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid? Had a recent problem come up with our van and may need to put the box on the crosstrek for the roadtrip. Roof type is raised rails running front to back.

Thank you for the photo, and what it shows is that technically you have the flush side rails on your 2021 Subaru Crosstrek hybrid (they very much look like raised rails, but I did verify with the rack manufacturers that they are considered "flush" for whatever reason). That said, the Rola rack you asked about does not fit your '21 Crosstrek, but there is a roof rack that fits, from Thule, which consists of the following:

- Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars - Silver # TH711200 or Black # TH711220

- Rapid Podium Feet for Thule Crossbars # TH460R

- Fit Kit # THKIT4101

This rack will have a crossbar spread of 32 inches so it is very likely going to be able to carry your cargo box, but I did want to mention it so you can make sure. It is a quiet, easy to use and highly durable rack, and if you'd like you can lock it to your Crosstrek's roof with the Thule One-Key System Lock Cylinders # TH450400.
