I'm in that awkward stage of doing incessant comparisons between my beloved late '00 Forester and my fierce '06 XT....I'm sure most of you can relate...
The most annoying issue is how the roof rails on the '06 have practically receded into the body, design-wise, as not to include any slots in which to thread tie-down straps through. I'm an artist, and I hauled a lot of stuff on my '00's rack, and without those slots, I'm going to have to annoyingly reinvent the system....OR....
Does anyone know if its possible to replace the roof rails with different ones that are more functional??
Has anyone ever modified their roof rails?
Or, lastly, are there further attachment accessories that might do the trick?
Thanks in advance for any insights into this issue!
