Hi there,

If someone has tried it, do you just tie the pod onto the roof rack/cross bar, or do you add something else as well?

I've got the MY14 which has the built in roof racks and would like to know if my Rola pod will suit to use or not.

Regards

I have a Thule roof box which I fit on my various Foresters. You need to fit cross bars to the roof rails first.
