I am in the process of getting a kayak and roof rack for my car (Subaru CrossTrek) and had a question on the rack itself. Are the cross bars required to mount essentially usable for all brands of roof racks or is that a brand specific situation? The reason I ask is that my Subaru dealer only offers a 1 kayak rack (I think they carry Thule but don't quote me on that). I am thinking of having them install the cross bars for me provided that doesn't limit my rack options at another store or dealer. Would prefer to have a "factory" mount so there are no warranty issues. Never had a roof rack for anything and really have no clue how it all works. If anyone can shed some light on this it would be appreciated. Thanks.
