Forester square bars

[dencor]

I just purchased an '05 Subaru Forester.

Although there are kayak carriers that will fit the factory bars, they are not what I want.

They don't fit well at all. Universal units that don't fit anything well.

In the accessories brochure from the the dealer

there is a set of square bars listed, #E36ESA100.

I am trying to get some cross section measurements, width, and thickness.

The bars with towers are $105, Thules locally are $250.

I sent emails to a couple of vendors.

The replies I got were "approximately 1 3/8 wide"

"about an 1 1/2 wide".

A lot of help. Am I dealing with moron city?

I have two carrying attachments that are Thule, H2GO, and a J frame. I just would lke to know if they will fit. There are no local dealers that have them in stock, or know what the measurements are.

I sure would appreciate any help!

 

Thanks,
