I just purchased a 2006 Forester that came with what looks like a factory installed roof rack. What size/type of wrench do I need to move the cross bars closer to one another? Also is it possible to attach Thule ski carrier and bike carrier components to this roof rack? The Thule web site intimated that the answer was no.

Thanks.

If your 06 Forester is like my 04 Impreza was, the factory crossbars use a torx head screw. Check the glovebox, and see if you're lucky enough to have the original screwdriver from the previous owner.

I can't speak for the Thule components - I'm a Yakima guy.

Thanks, I'll go buy one.

Should be a T30 Torx bit.
