Look for some genuine Subaru ones, they are made by MontBlanc and fit very securely.

Why not? I have four bike carriers on mine, three cheapys and a Thule wheel-out one.

Mine are like these: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/subaru-imp...item3f2446dfaa

My bike carriers are the kind that go inside the the bars, like they slide along inside and clip in that way. Also the too of my car doesnt have any slots for these to clip into :-/

The slots are under the two long plastic trims.

Oh i see. But i still dont think that my thule carriers will fit onto those bars, on the toof bars for my astra vxr they had flaps on te end which flapped down then you had to slide the bike carriers along the inside of the bars then they wound down to be secured

Like these? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1120mm-New...item33818ac007

Yep thats the same fitment as the carriers iv got

How do the bits of the top of my car cone off? Lol

They don't.

Subaru fitments usually have four "L" shaped brackets that pass UNDER the plastic and, at the same time, UNDER a steel flattened loop that is welded to the roof and supports.

The bars then fit to those.

First time on is a pain, finding the loops, and the fitting is tight. I marked my loops by putting sticky-backed plastic dots into the door opening in line with them.

Once the bars are in place, they are ROCK solid.

Mine has been up to 120mph on a private airfield with FOUR bikes on top.

Ah i see, iv found a few things on the net, aparently thule 754 fit my car, aswell as 750! But they look like they are just sort of suction'd to the car :-/

That may just be the large feet covering where the bars grip the brackets.

Best thing is to either ring a dealer of Thule bits and ask, or pop into Halfords, see if they have any, open the box and have a gander.

I've got a set of them. Thule roof rack details for my05 Wrx blob saloon.
Foot pack No 950
Fitting kit No 206.
standard bars and locks on shelf.
they hook on plastic trim just above windows and supported by rubber feet. Got em from Halfords, not an easy job for them as had to wait 2months! The packs stated on there system was incorrect and had to have an earlier version, but fits great so not complaining.

Ok so if been on the hunt for some genuine roof bara for my car. Iv found some on ebay from a 2006 saloon.

Will these fit my 2003 wrx saloon?

Ebay number is: 230979766180

Thanks

Not tried this type fella, only used the type that hook on the plastic rails above the windows. But looking at the ebay rack- seems it will fit in channels slots (i think) Should be compatable with your blob. looks like alcazar above uses this oem version.
sorry can't help much

Rutt_Dj

Ok thanks for the help there. Think i will just buy them and hope haha
