Default Yakima Low Rider Max or factory crossbars on an '08 Saturn Outlook?

Actually, thanks to those plastic crossbar inhibitors, as I like to call them, the maximum bar spread for your '08 Saturn Outlook with the Lowrider Max set up is only 20", which limits what you can attach to your crossbars to skis carriers, a select number of bike carriers, and the StrapThang surfboard/sailboard carrier provided your board is 10' or less. You can go ahead and forget about carrying canoes, kayaks, cargo boxes, or couches.

It could be worse however. The folks at Thule don't provide a fit for that vehicle at all. So to Yakima, we owe our sincere gratitude.

Sticking with the factory crossbars, which allows you to throw kayak carriers and cargo boxes into the mix, may be your best option.

Rack on.
Yours,
