Finally found a set of crossbars!FINALLY! I’ve been looking for a set since I bought the car. I also found a hatch a few weeks back and got that on this weekend too. Never had any of this before. First Yakima rack, never switched a hatch or anything, so a learning experience if you will.

Found the hatch in a junkyard of all places (only 10,00 9-2x’s were made, so one in good shape, in my color is pretty rare) Had the 4Runner at the time so no issues there

This is actually a few weeks later, swapped the hatch yesterday and picked up these racks today, obviously I had to test fit!

During the install, for these and 02-07 impreza wagons, it’s pretty much necessary to disassemble the rear of the interior to unplug the harness, the bolts are simply under a cover. I didn’t get it adjusted right at first so I had to go back and fix that so it wouldn’t rub, but it’s good to go now.

So this is how she sits now, I’ve taken the racks back off for gas mileage and I don’t want them stolen. The towers have locks and all, but the bike trays themselves don’t lock.

If anybody needs a hatch for a 9-2x lemme know, I’ve got an extra lol. Also I’ve got a question for you oppo’s. I happened to win a raffle prize of either an instagram sticker, winshield bar, and custom shirt, or 2 custom shirts. I was going to go with the 2 shirts, but if anybody has an idea for a winshild bar I might go with that. And also, anybody know where to buy parts for yakima stuff? I need the rubber for the towers, missing one.

luxury subi?
something to tie into rally racing (given saabs and subaru history wiht that)
something with jet fighters?

as far as they yakima parts, email them or go to a bicycle store and ask them. we ordered spares ALL the time

Didn’t think about a bike store, thanks for the tip!

The thing with the banner is the car is pretty much stock, it’s my daily, and my project car (MR2) is where all the car part moneies goes. I don’t really know if anything would fit with the car.

I usually buy Yakima stuff off of Amazon. Hit the yakima site and grab the part number you need and put it in there.

If you need something less common hit up eBay.

My problem is I don’t exactly know what towers I have, couldn’t find a P/N on them or anything either.

They only sold a couple models of towers so just compare pics to one’s you find online. If your car is newer than say 95 and the towers mount to the roof next to the door then they’re likely Q towers.
