As noted by another review, the roof rails on the Wilderness Edition are closer together than the roof rails on the other Crosstrek trim levels. Because of this the rear cross bar must be cut about 3/4 inch shorter and a new hole must be drilled and tapped. If that is something that you are comfortable with it is easy to do because the bar is an aluminum extrusion so it is very easy to cut, and it is safe and easy to drill and tap the new hole because there is a thickened section at the bottom center of the cross bar that extends the full length of the cross bar where the new hole must be drilled and tapped to attach to the uprights. That thickened section is what the original factory screws fasten to so it is designed to hold machine screws. The uprights perfectly fit the contour of the roof rails, and the design was clearly done with an eye toward a nice smooth aerodynamic fit that will not make wind noise as you drive on the highway. The bars are not especially strong or heavy duty compared to something like the round bars on the rack I had on my old car but they are plenty strong enough to hold skis or surfboards or a roof cargo box carrying clothes/luggage. Review: Will fit a CrossTrek Wilderness with some Cutting and Drilling - I mounted these bars on a 2024 Crosstrek Wilderness edition. I am not certain but, the Wilderness Edition roof rails may be mounted closer to center than on the other editions. It might have something to do with the way they are mounted which gives the higher load capacity. The rails have a provision to adjust for width but the range is not very extensive. The front rail will be at the inner limit (shortest position) and the rear rail will be too long. The profile of the rails is the same, it's the width of the rear rail that will be an issue. It's an easy fix if you have some basic tools. Cut about 1/4 inch off both ends of the rear rail. I did this with a hack saw. Wrap the bar with some tape before starting the cut. The tape will highlight a cut line and help to keep the blade in place as you start the cut. Now, when you attach the riser, the inner of the two mounting screws becomes the outer screw. Mark the location for the new inner screw, drill and tap. Even if you had to buy the tools to do this you will have spent less than the cost of a set of Thule bars. The bars are nice looking and sturdy, maybe not as high a quality finish as the other brands but really close. I have no doubts about their ability to hold the typical bike, kayak or ski rack. ## Features - Easy installation. Can be installed or removed in minutes. Load capacity: 150 lbs - Package includes two crossbars, four mounting brackets, all hardware and manual - Aero dynamic in shape to reduce wind noise. - DO NOT FIT Subaru Forester ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B079K69B5L | | Best Sellers Rank | #77,228 in Automotive ( See Top 100 in Automotive ) #101 in Cargo Bars | | Brand Name | BRIGHTLINES | | Color | black | | Compatible with Vehicle Type | SUV | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (1,767) | | Is Foldable | No | | Item Dimensions | 43 x 3.13 x 2.94 inches | | Item Weight | 3.15 Kilograms | | Load Capacity | 150 Pounds | | Manufacturer | BRIGHTLINES | | Manufacturer Part Number | BL593180 | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | One year manufacturer warranty | | Material Type | Aluminum | | Mounting Type | Roof Mount,Crossbar Mount | ## Product Details - **Brand:** BRIGHTLINES - **Color:** black - **Is Foldable:** No - **Item Weight:** 3.15 Kilograms - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 43 x 3.13 x 2.94 inches - **Load Capacity:** 150 Pounds - **Manufacturer:** BRIGHTLINES - **Material:** Aluminum - **Mounting Type:** Roof Mount,Crossbar Mount - **Vehicle Service Type:** SUV ## Images ![BRIGHTLINES Aero Crossbars Roof Racks Replacement for 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 Subaru Crosstrek & 2017-2023 Impreza - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41-7hupC2DL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fits 2025 Crosstrek Wilderness Edition but requires cutting rear bar to length and tapping new hole *by C***S on February 27, 2026* I mounted these bars on a 2025 Crosstrek Wilderness Edition.
