Malone AirFlow2 Universal Roof Rack Installation - 2017 Subaru Forester

Speaker 1: Today on our 2017 Subaru Forrester we're going to be taking a look at and showing you how to install the Malone Airflow 2 Roof Rack, part number MPG215. If you're looking for a way to free up space in your Subaru for passengers and pets or carry some rather large equipment the Malone Airflow 2 Roof Rack System is going to be a great option to strap all your equipment to the top of your roof, giving you more room inside. The elliptical shape of the bar itself is going to cut down on a lot of that wind noise and drag that's commonly associated with roof racks.Now our roof rack system is going to work with your factory raised rails, and it's going to have a rubber surround so we're not going to have to worry about any scratches our abrasions damaging the paint. It's going to come in with a built in metal lock core, and two keys that's not only going to keep our roof rack secure, but it's also going to house our included tightening tool. On top here we're going to have a rubber strip that's going to run along the entire length of the bar, which is not only going to give us a nice spot to mount our accessories and a nice grip, but it's also going to cut down on some of that wind noise.Unlike a lot of other roof rack systems our end cap is going to have a hinge here, to where we're not going to have to fully remove it. In some cases we can actually just push this rubber strip down and put in our favorite T-track accessories.
