Can you fit roof bars to a Legacy Sedan please?

Either the Subaru bars from a Wagon, or a different make?

*shudder*

 

You can find an aftermarket one.

 

but i always thought the trunk luggage racks looked good.

nipper do you have to drill holes in the roof?

I have a Thule roof rack on my 99 Legacy GT sedan. I mostly use it for bike transporting. I rather like how it looks...downside is that it's pretty noisy, and I lost a sold 8 mpg when I put a wind deflector on the car. No drilling required, it has rubber pads and feet. Comes right off in a few minutes, but I leave it on. I'll take/post a pic when I get home.

Thanks I look forward to the picture.

What did it cost please?

Oh gross.

 

I have a thule rack that I really like:

 

 

It's only noisy with the ski racks on. I have it off at the moment for weight/aerodynamic benefits. Plus my bike got stolen awhile ago so I don't have much use for it.

 

They're pretty expensive. My V2 bike rack was $125 and the ski racks are around there. A fairing is like $60, and bars, feet, and the fit kit all come separately and work out to something like $250. I've had it for 6 years or so and don't remember exactly how much it was. Well worth it though. You can price them out on the thule site I think.

Thanks I'll have a look at the site.

I found mine at a site called rackattack.com and they will (as will the thule site) help you get the right fit for your car. I have a 01 impreza and the only thing I would say is double check all the measurements when you put it on your car.

Gil, sorry for the delay, here finally is a pic of my car with the thule rack:

 

 

As far as cost goes, I really can't be sure, I've had the rails and bike holders on two other cars over the past five years. The feet are different depending on the car they are going on (gutters, no gutters, etc), and each type of feet have a different fit kit to make them fit exactly on a given car. I'm lucky in that a good friend of mine owns a bike shop and I've gotten all of it throgh him, parts on barter. The parts I had to pay for were still pretty pricey, even at my discount. It certainly wouldn't hurt to check eBay.
