we used to use the short roof adapter on a 2 dr civic hatchback we had. it worked, but is ugly. ehhe
i figure that if it's the same overall cost (after selling off the bob ratchets and possibly the ancient ski rack attachments -- i'll probably keep them around in case any of my ski buddies have a rack but not the mounts) i might as well go back to the hitch, especially since the wrx does have a ski pass through in the rear seat...
thule recommended mounting (on wagon but same difference):
