OEM Subaru SVX Roof Rack

I have obtained one of the ultra-rare genuine Subaru OEM roof racks specifically designed for the SVX. I believe it may be the only one in North America. As far as I know, this rack was only offered in Japan, and even there it seems like not too many people opted for it. One thing that is really nice about this rack compared to others, is that the feet are designed to fit the specific contours of the svx's roof. That way the rack remains completely straight and level.

Also, since I have this, I'll be offering my Unisport SVX rack for sale. Please PM me if you're interested.

Re: OEM Subaru SVX Roof Rack

It looks great, but why do you need it on your svx, especially with that beautiful paint job.

Re: OEM Subaru SVX Roof Rack

Several months ago I saw one listed on Kijiji in Toronto and it sold very quickly. I can't confirm it was a genuine OEM rack but that's what the ad said.

I kind of like to collect rare svx stuff. Secondly, now I have the option to take my bike to the office on days im driving my SVX. Side note - The black paint on the roof and trunk is original.

Re: OEM Subaru SVX Roof Rack

How heavy are the various racks? My registration card says max 30 kg on the roof, rack included.

This rack has a decal on it saying that 30kg is its maximum capacity. I'm not sure of the weight, but not very much. This rack is definitely lighter than the unisport one.

30kg is only 66 lbs., so it shouldn't stress your new coilovers too much...


seriously, Mike, good find!

Ok, I will interpret my registration data as "30 kg + rack" If you happen to have the rack near a weight.. or read the shipping statement, I'm curious to know. I want to compare it to the ROLA rack (and yes, they still make them).

They were offered in Canada back in the day. I have the accessory price list here somewhere.

Re: OEM Subaru SVX Roof Rack

On second thought... The tire chains might be juxtaposed with the orange surfboard I'm assuming you got with that roof rack.

I've been taking that surf board out in Lake Erie on my lunch breaks. Unfortunately, the waves aren't big enough to really show off my skill!
