Hi everyone, I'm new here. Just got a 2012 Impreza premium. I have some existing Thule stuff I want to attach and I don't want to use the mounting points (I want to be able to take the rack off and use with another car if I want to). Does anyone know if the 480R and kit 1649 will work with the 5-door (Thule says it works for the 4-door but the hatch isn't listed). Thanks!

So you don't need to worry about your spoiler getting scratched when hitting the Skybox? Do you have the bigger optional spoiler on your hatch? EDIT: Never mind. I see in the other thread where you posted a picture that you have the optional spoiler. I don't, so hopefully I won't have contact issues at all. Thanks for the info and pictures! |

Hey guys, just received a Thule Hull a port and kayak feet. Anyone know if these will fit the Subaru factory cross bars? Or should I spring for the Thule Aero bars. I have a Premium 5 door.
Thanks! |

How far back did you go with your rear crossbar? As far back as possible? |

Got the Thule bars installed for the first time.
Now just waiting for Mr. UPS Guy to show up up later today with my Yakima Skybox! |

How much did that skybox run you? Hows the wind noise?

The best price I've seen is on Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/Yakima-SkyBox-16s-Rooftop-Cargo/dp/B001PUZXGK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1348790489&sr=8-1&keywords=yakima+skybox+16s I can't hear any difference between with vs. without the Skybox, even at highway speeds. Oh, and with the box mounted as far forward as possible, there's several inches of clearance between the box and the hatch when I open the hatch fully. As you can see, I don't have the optional spoiler installed on the hatch. |

Have you had a chance to compare mpg's with vs without the box? How big of a drop have you noticed? |

yea, i believe you would be right. mine is very un-aerodynamic and makes quite a bit of wind noise. good luck.

mine is not that bad, it is more like having round cross bars and no fairing. i have thee aero bars attached to the car. i sometimes wish i got the sky box, but i like having the idea of tossing dirty items or relatively no height limit.

So round cross bars are louder than square cross bars? I did not know that.

With my Thule square bars (mounted onto Thule 450 Crossroad feet), I don't hear any noise regardless of whether my Skybox is installed, or if I'm driving around with just the empty bars.
