Did anyone else get the factory Crossbars with their Cross? The bars say they can only hold 66lbs between the both of them. I really hope that's not the case and hope it's a typo. I do a lot of kayaking and haul two 60lb kayaks almost everywhere in the summer. I think the car is still new for aftermarket bars as I don't see any. In the Cross's manual the roof can hold 165lbs.

These bars look about the same thickness as my Kia soul's and it can haul 160lb on the roof.

I posted today in another thread. I just bought the Cross 2 days ago and was shocked to realize the weight limit on the crossbars today. Also a little peeved because we mentioned to our sales guy several times that we wanted the crossbars to load kayaks. But anyway, I found this while searching for options: Thule WingBar Evo | Thule | United States

It's temporarily out of stock, but it says it fits the Cross.

Nice find. I have been emailing Yakima over the months since they said drop date was maybe 9-12 weeks from April but nothing yet on their site. Looks like Thule might be using the exact same setup. I wonder when Thule posted theirs. I somehow forgot about them.

Looks like the Bar and other mount are in stock. The mount 187101 to mount to our cars is estimate back in stock on Nov 15.

They were really easy to install and work great! We can stack 2 paddle boards and a sit on top kayak.

Fantastic! Do they mount into the factory rail hard points? I can't really see on the factory rails how else they can lock on?

Yes, the flush factory rails have 4 panels that open to reveal the fixed points. The Thule roof rack feet just screw into place. It was my first time installing something like this and it was really easy.
