Do I need to take my Yakima ski rack and crossbar off before going to Brown Bear Car Wash? Will it damage my gear and accessory if I leave them on the car? I am driving a Subaru Crosstrek.

Would recommend taking it off and also folding in your mirrors. I drive a XV as well.

yes you need to take it off your car!

You drive through their wash with accessories at your own risk. If you're going to use their wash club, take the rack off until next ski season.

Not sure
