Suzam Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 (edited) After several years off the car, my daughter put her cross bars back on the roof of her 99 OB to move. When I looked at them, they looked like they were on backwards. They are wing shaped with a thick rounded side and a sharper opposite edge. What is the correct direction for these. I'm not posting what I think is correct because I have a little side be with her! Edited August 8, 2014 by Suzam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jp98 Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 On my 98 Outback the tapered edge goes towards the rear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmoss5723 Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Narrow edge to the back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forester2002s Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 It's an aerofoil shape, just like the wings on an aircraft. As others have said, 'rounded-end' to the front, and sharp 'trailing-edge' to the rear. Drive fast enough, and you'll have LIFT-OFF (just kidding).

jp98 Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 So fess up, who was right? You or your daughter? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suzam Posted August 11, 2014 Author Share Posted August 11, 2014 (edited) I was correct. I just needed the opinion of a total stranger because she always believes them over her own father! Go figure. Also the bet was a prepared meal be it breakfast, lunch or dinner. Winners choice. I haven't decided yet. Oh yeah, I did have to help her move too!
