Most Popular Roof Basket for 2010 Subaru Forester

Very solid Cargo Basket; expensive, like all Yakima products, but should last forever. Took 30 minutes to put together; will probably take another 30 minutes to put on top of our 2021 Subaru Forester (Waiting until tomorrow for cross bars to arrive). When it was delivered I was concerned because the box had two corners completely torn out from shipping, but the pieces inside were in perfect condition, so no harm done.

Love !!! Yakima Quality is the best perfect addition to my RAV4

I love this basket! Once I centered on cross braces, it was easy to leave the connectors in same spot. Also, low enough profile to drive in and out my garage. We have a screen door so that made it a shorter height than traditional garage door.

We were very happy with our Thule roof rack. The low profile design works well and does not have too much wind noise compared to others I’ve had. It’s held up very well also through the seasons.

I called etrailer for help with a cargo basket for our Forester. Michael was very helpful with guidance to the correct product. We had no trouble putting the basket together and even less trouble mounting it to the car. We are very pleased and would not hesitate to recommend either Michael at etrailer or the Rhino-rack cargo basket we purchased.

We purchased this roof basket for our many adventures. On long distance road trips, we pair it with the Thule Tahoe bag. For my business, I can leave for a two day trip with an empty car and come back with it completely full of inventory, including the roof. The basket is amazingly versatile. It's quick to install and take off. Locally, we use it for oversized items, and airport pick ups of visiting family. We have two dogs, roof basket gives them so much additional space in our Forester. No more playing square inch Tetris with our stuff. We can hop in and take off. Highly recommended.

The MegaWarrior is a great Roof Rack. The only thing I didn’t like was the fit to the roof rails. My rails that I purchased from you are shaped like aircraft wings and the basket clamps seem to be designed for round rails. However I was able to complete the attachment and the rack remained secure for a 2,000 mile trip.

It's strong, sturdy, and looks good. The bolts were a little long, and protruded into the cargo area of the basket, but that's to be expected because it has to be able to fit all different size crossbars. I just cut them shorter, but some people who don't have access to our experience with tools will have to deal with those bolts sticking up.

I haven't used this yet, but I assembled it and installed it. It appears to be fairly sturdy, and the mounts don't look like they will do any major damage. One thing I am not too happy about are the nuts that clamp the "U" Bolts to the crossbars. The "U" Bolts have a great deal of very fine thread that you have to go through to get them tight. When you finally get them tight, the end of the bolt comes up above the grate that your luggage will be tied down to (at least on the 2015 Subaru Forester). Obviously this will damage whatever you plan to put there. I plan to cut them off so they don't poke through.

1. Terrible Instructions. 2. Good Customer Service with etrailer. 3. Build Quality looks to be there. 4. Not sure product is worth the price?

Great product. Great quality. Instructions not real clear, so took me a couple of hours to assemble. Then another 15-20 minutes to secure to roof racks. I was working alone, extra hands would have helped. But extremely happy with quality and looks of product. We have lots of family that visit us, so I plan to carry luggage on the rack to free up space inside the vehicle on trips to and from the airport.

I found the directions confusing, and it was impossible to get though the customer support phone line. When you put the two halves of the cage together, on one side the holes did not line up very well. I tried to screw the screw in anyway and it stripped. The directions were just plain wrong in how far apart the cross bars should be. Mainly, I felt alone in this effect-- there really is no phone customer support with Yakima. Expect to use the chat instead.

I have a Subaru Forester w/o factory racks. I am using a Yakima rack and towers that attach to the factory mounting holes on the roof, so it cannot be moved or adjusted. The LoadWarrior basket does not fit this particular width of the bars. It is at the only possible mounting position and with one clamp centered, the other clamp is not centered on the bar, making it impossible to secure the clamp (the basket to the rack). I have ordered the extension for the basket to hopefully provide more end to end adjustment so it can be secured to the rack.

STOKED! You guys already pull threw!

Its a bit fidgety to get everything adjusted and centered, but once you do, it's solid and looks great!
