I think I've done research for hundreds of hours over the course of more than a year on this forum to just be able to put a damn kayak (preferably two) on the roof of my car, which is a 2007 Legacy Wagon 2.5i Ltd with rails that I guess are called flush. See photo. Looking at the car from the side, there is no space between the rail and the car, but on the inner side, there is a groove that runs along the length of the rail.
I've been on ebay, facebook marketplace, yakima's website, thule, and even Montblanc's site that made me choose between "4dr Saloon" or "5 dr Estate" as my "model" of my 2007 Legacy wagon. ??? Yes, I was on the English language site.
Could someone please have mercy on this poor mother who just wants to take her kid kayaking without decapitating the people driving behind my wagon on the NJ turnpike? By providing workable links to the things I actually need to buy that I can take to a body shop and say "here, put this on". I have aleady tried to find local help but nobody feels like looking into what is required to get a rack, and I called the local Subaru dealership parts department, where they asked me what kind of car I had and then laughed heartily before saying "can't help ya".
Prefer something easy and affordable. I am assuming Montblanc is best in that regard, but damned if I can find what I have to do in order to accomplish this.
Thank you!
