Our Review: Subaru's Aero Crossbars for 2024-25 Crosstrek
We recently got our hands on the Genuine OEM Subaru Aero Roof Rack Cross Bar Set (SOA843X036) designed specifically for the 2024-2025 Crosstrek models. These aerodynamically designed crossbars impressed us with their seamless integration with the vehicle's existing roof rails. Installation was straightforward, taking us under 30 minutes with the included hardware.
What we particularly appreciated was how these bars maintained the Crosstrek's fuel efficiency thanks to their low-profile design, while still providing robust support for our cargo. During our highway testing, we noticed minimal wind noise compared to aftermarket alternatives. The 150-pound load capacity easily accommodated our camping gear and kayaks.
For Crosstrek owners looking to maximize utility without sacrificing aesthetics or efficiency, we found these genuine Subaru crossbars to be well worth the investment.

Our Ultimate Review: MELIPRON Transit Roof Rack System
MELIPRON Transit Roof Rack System
In our hands-on testing of the MELIPRON Camper Van Roof Rack, we found it to be an excellent addition for Transit owners looking to maximize their 148" wheelbase vans. The low-profile design maintains good aerodynamics while offering substantial loading capacity. We particularly appreciated the integrated solar panel brackets, which made installing our 100W panels a breeze without any drilling or modifications.
The wind fairing is a thoughtful inclusion that noticeably reduced noise at highway speeds during our test drives. Installation was straightforward, taking us about 3 hours with basic tools. The rack's compatibility with low, medium, and high roof configurations adds versatility, though Transit owners with extended models should look elsewhere as this won't fit the 148" EXT.
Overall, we're impressed with the rack's sturdy aluminum construction and thoughtful design elements.
