I guess it would be the same as the 4dr.
The Subaru roof bars is made by a company called Mont Blanc, similar to Thule.
However to fit you first need to remove the rain gutters from the roof of the car to fit the mounting clips. These bolt to a bracket under the rain gutter. Once the rain gutter has been replaced you can hardly see them.
The roof bars then attaches to the clips and I've found it to be very good. Secure and doesn't damage the paint. You can then attach any Mont Blanc or Thule bike rack.
I think the bars cost ~£120 from a dealer but you might get cheaper from Mont Blanc direct.

I've got these roof bars. On my '98 turbo, UK car, the brackets were already in place. It was just a case of FINDING them, (get it wrong, and it's possible to fix the rack, firmly , to the rain gutter), prizing the rain gutter back, (you need thumbs like Arnie!), and forcing the rack "L" shaped brackets into place. Two of mine were so tight that I had to ease them with a blunt screwdriver. I must say, Subaru, I've seen easier fittings than these!!!
