Most Popular Aero Bars for 2023 Subaru Forester

This review is based on 2 months of use. Pros: inexpensive, lightweight, fairly easy to mount, and does the job. Cons: cheap quality, end caps come off easily, and rubber gaskets on mounts do not stay on. Overall it has done the job (in my case carrying a canoe and Yakima box), but with some headaches. The end caps coming off is a problem when mounting and storing. I also anticipate they will blow off at some point. I recommend removing the crossbars when not in use as they will make general driving more rough.

These crossbars were easy to install, are sturdy when installed and look great on my factory side rails when installed with the SX Series legs. The standard end caps are an all-plastic affair and use a little key to engage a cam lock. That plus the distance from the end of the crossbar to the nut that tightens the foot onto the rail keeps things relatively secure. Most people probably want to opt for proper locking end caps, though. The rubber vortex strips look nice and give items something grippy to rest on. I haven't tried a load test yet but did drive around in moderate wind on the highway in multiple directions. Other than a slight whistle at 70 mph, you'd never know they were there. Overall, real happy with the product and looking forward to hauling some stuff around with them.

I ordered the complete Rhino-Rack with legs for my 2009 Subaru Forester. I watch a couple of videos prior to installation. Followed instructions and installation was completed without any issues. Product was delivered promptly and Natalie helped me with my order and she followed up to inform me of the status of my order. Thanks for the help and thanks for a product.

I've loaded up my car multiple times and never had an issue, lumber from homedepot/lowes or varying kayaks/canoes, the roof rack handles well

Good components. Installs easily. Quiet at 70 mph. Arrived quickly. No problems. Thanks

2021 Subaru Crosstrek, Website video for installation was easy to follow, installed to spec, might have to adjust span when I get my roof basket. Cross bar seems solid, and was what I wanted, a little better than OEM. Look great

Great job etrailer!!!! I received a phone call from etrailer about my credit card. Once all was cleared, I received my crossbars in 2 days. I was surprised how quickly I received them.. Installing the crossbars was pretty simple. The first one always takes a little longer; reading the instructions; going slow, making sure I am doing everything right. The second bar took half the time, if that much. The outside noise that other customers complain about, is none existant unless I am traveling over 70mph.Definitely recommend the product.

Very good product. The Yakama towers and cross bars feel very solid and appears to be high quality. Very easy install. Others have complained about the instructions, but guess I'm a visual person because the pictures all seemed very clear to me and the install was very easy. They do sit higher than I expected. After adding a Rhino Rack cargo basket, we only have about 4-5" clearance below the garage door.

One bar slid out on our first road trip. The "grip" that it slides into can't be adjusted. I am in communication with Yakima about this as Etrailer said that's the route that I would need to go. Very frustrating.

I originally went to buy these elsewhere but the listing was unclear as to the delivery date and they appeared to be selling a single bar. I found them on etrailer and the order process was smooth, the communication was good and the product arrived when they said it would. Also, they were slightly cheaper here than on the other site. My only suggestion... Dudes... chill with the staples on the box, other than that, I feel pretty good about looking here first the next time I need something for my car.

Fit our Subaru Forester perfectly. Install was a breeze.
