Outback

  • 250 miles
New model 2010 Subaru Outback roof rack. The manual states it is unsafe to tie a load directly to the roof rack as it may result in loss of load if this is true -not every one will be aware of this and there will be loads lost. More serious - it states on pg 8-15 "do not use the roof rails when the bars are restored". in the restored position these bars look like most roof racks. They will be used to carry loads. One end of each bar is only in a plastic hole with no strength there is no doubt people will be unaware and loads will be lost on the hwy.
