Requirements This is a direct-fit rack for Crosstrek. You're removing the factory rails and replacing them with the Cascade. The mounting brackets use the same six factory attachment points. You'll need basic hand tools and a couple hours. The headliner needs to come down—it's held in with clips and a few screws.
