I'm looking to put a bike rack on the roof of my 2005 XT (2.0L engine) and have been looking at cross bars. The car has solid roof rails, not ones you can put your hand underneath. It looks as if a lot of cross bars require the roof rails to not be solid, but it's hard to tell from pictures on the internet.

What cross bars would fellow Forester owners recommend?

Cheers!

Thule. But they are not cheap!

I have the Subaru Mont Blanc roof bars.

Work fine and are lockable. Not sure how they compare price-wise to Thule, but mine were £50 second hand.

my thules were £80 iirc from halfrauds

Was that for feet and bars? That isn't bad at all if so.

I got mine from Lidl. £25 or £30 IIRC lockable and work fine. If I used them a lot I might have splashed out on some big brand ones.
