Most Popular Silver for 2017 Subaru Forester

I bought the least expensive item in the category, and I must say I was happy with the results. The Aero Crossbars were pretty easy to install and work well. Very little wind noise, if any. Though with the Cargo basket attached to the rails, there is a little wind noise. The Rola Cargo Basket is very sturdy and seems to be well made and solid. Better then my expectation. The roof/rack mounting hardware works well. The only difficulty I had in assembly was with the rubber sleeves that cover the basket assembly screws to protect them from rusting. These were very challenging to install and I wish I had thought to just use some black duct tape - I suspect most people don't bother with them. That was the only negative - I do lose about 2.5 miles per gallon with the rack installed on my 2017 Subaru Forester, but that was expected. Overall very pleased with the purchase. Found the ordering and shipping went exactly as expected.

Racks appear to be well built and sturdy. Installation was quick and simple. Trick with installation of the rubber gasket is to lay it flat in the sun to soften it up prior to fitment. Very similar to Thule (albeit with a lower weight limit) at a fraction of the price. Photo is of the racks installed on a Forester sport with SUP pads added.
