How do I "open" or pivot the bars on my roof rack?

I just got a Subaru Outback with a roof rack. They are just parallel to each other along the sides of the roof. It looks like I should be able to lift a latch on one end of each of them and pivot them to go from side to side across the roof. However, when I lift the latch, the bars don't move. Is there a trick to it?

    No. As I said, it lifts up like it will turn. One of them pivots now. Maybe the other one is just stuck.

    Most likely you need load bars. Those are ROOF RAILS.
