#2 of 148 Crossbar Question by chrisc5 Jun 17, 2006 (3:02 pm)
Perhaps a silly question. I am wanting to put a roof rack on my Tribeca, the accessories page on Subaru's website list the aero crossbar kit...does the kit include the mounting attachments to the roof also? I called my dealer and the parts guy was pretty clueless about whether the kit was just the crossbars or all that you needed to set up the roof rack.   Thanks!

Replying to: chrisc5 (Jun 17, 2006 3:02 pm) It seems very, very likely that it would.   I have many accessories from Subaru, and all of them come with all the hardware you need. The trailer hitch even came with a complete wiring harness.   Well, now that I think about it, it did not come with a ball hitch, because there are multiple sizes.   But I'd bet the clamps are included.   -juice Replies to this message: kmartin (Jun 26, 2006 11:42 am)

Replying to: chrisc5 (Jun 17, 2006 3:02 pm) I just put mine on, and all it needs are 8 screws and some little covers that go over the screws, and it was all in the box. Pretty easy to install. I did notice after it was on that the rear cross bar wiggles a little bit. The sides are screwed in tightly, but there are a couple of small screws on the bottom of the bar itself that looked to be a little loose. I tried to tighten them and couldn't, so I put it back on. When I looked at both bars closely, only the right side on the rear bar has any wiggle. All four spots have screws, but only here is there any room to move around. It looks like they made it so it could be adjusted width wise, but I would think I should be able to tighten it up?! Has anyone else noticed this? Thanks.

Replying to: nspringer (Jun 22, 2006 5:58 pm) Same issue here...easy install but the rear bar is a little loose in the mounting bracket. If it's any consolation though, while you can wiggle it a little bit by hand, there doesn't seem to be any noise from it while in motion, and believe me, I've listened for it, and over a variety of surfaces and various speeds. So...bottom line..it doesn't seem to be a real-world problem.

Replying to: ateixeira (Jun 19, 2006 11:15 am) No clamps with mine...just the crossbars and a tool to remove them, if nec. The bars were pretty simple to install, according to my service rep. There are predetermined spots on the rails where they have to go...no fore-aft adjustments are possible.   -Karen in AZ-
#8 of 148 accessories on my 2007 by bgadlage Aug 15, 2006 (8:43 pm)
HI all,   I just bought a 2007 5 passenger Limited with Nav/Back up screen. I will be returning to the dealer to install the auto dimming mirror/compass, splash guards and cargo tray.   What other accessories do you all like that maybe I should consider.   Considering the cargo cover but am concerned about quality and will it mess up the back seats when reclined or folded?   Is the light for back section helpful?   Does anyone have the bumper corner molding or the rear bumper cover?   Thank you Any suggestions will be appreciated.   I have only had it for 2 weeks and love this car.   I am in Central IL and have NEVER seen one on the highway as of yet.   I saw it as the Feb Chicago auto show and really liked it . DO they not sell many? All who have seen it really likes it and can't figure out why they have never heard/seen them.   I also got a great deal on the price . Quite a bit under invoice and only a little off the Acura that I traded in.   OH WELL, our luck   Belva Replies to this message: morey000 (Aug 16, 2006 2:40 pm) beanandme (Aug 20, 2006 4:55 pm) harvpt (Aug 23, 2006 12:05 pm)

Replying to: bgadlage (Aug 15, 2006 8:43 pm) The Puddle Lights are very cool. It's worth a couple hundred just for the 'wow' factor. For me, the cargo tray would just get in the way, but I'd definately use the bumper cover, as I strap things to the roof rack a lot and it's where you stand.   chrome wheels and the chrome mesh grill???   other than that, the 'beca is a very well equipped vehicle.

Replying to: bgadlage (Aug 15, 2006 8:43 pm) Belva- I got the cargo tray too, I think without it the back "carpet" would get stained too quickly. I like the idea that I can take the tray out and hose it down when needed. Mine came equipped with the puddle lights, which I thought were a waste of money until I got the car home. They're very cool, my daughter calls it the "rock star car" now. I couldn't appreciate them at the dealer in the daylight but at night they're really bright and also stay on for a few seconds after the doors are closed. The car looks like it's going to blast off or something. I don't have the bumper cover but will probably add that. I live in Orange County Ca, where it seems EVERYONE drives a new car, and I've never seen one of these on the road either. Mine is getting lots of attention though. I guess we're trend-setters -Krista
