• What is the Best Way to Carry 2 Kayaks on a 2015 Subaru Forester With No Side Rails?
  Your first step will be to pick a roof rack set that fits your vehicle. I've included a link below that takes you directly to the list of roof racks that are compatible with your vehicle, but I also have recommendations based on your intended goal. First, the rack kit I recommend is the Thule AeroBlade Edge Aero Bar, consisting of: - Thule AeroBlade Edge Roof Rack, part # TH7602-TH7602 - Thule Fit Kit for Podium Style Foot Pack, part # THKIT3079 This will provide both stylish and aerodynamic...

• What Awning Is Compatible With Yakima RailBar Crossbars
  Rhino Rack does make adapters so their Rhino-Rack Sunseeker Awning - Roof Rack Mount - Bolt On - 49 Sq Ft, part # RR32132, will mount to roof racks that terminate at the tower/leg, but we have confirmed they will not fit your Yakmia RailBar Crossbars. You can still use the Yakima SlimShady Awning - Roof Rack Mount - Clamp On - 42 Sq Ft. part # Y36VR, on your roof rack. The SlimShady will clamp to your Yakima RailBar. The SlimShady is almost as big as the Rhino -Rack offering, 42 sq ft versus...

• Roof Rack Recommendation for a 2014 Subaru Forester without Factory Roof Rack
  If your 2014 Subaru Forester does not have a factory roof rack or the factory side rails, then it should have factory mounting points for an aftermarket roof rack. I have attached a link to all of our roof racks that will fit the factory mounting points on your roof for you to check out. If you would like a recommendation, I would go with the Thule AeroBlade Edge Roof Rack which consists of part # TH7602-TH7602 and the Fit Kit, # THKIT3079. This roof rack uses quiet aerodynamic crossbars...

• What is the Height of the Thule Hullavator on My 2018 Subaru Forester?
  For garage clearance, your clearance height will depend on the combined height of your crossbar system and the height of the Thule Hullavator item # TH898 on your 2018 Subaru Forester. The height of the Hullavator measures 15-3/4" from the base to the highest point of the tallest cradle. If you have a compatible roof rack system, I recommend measuring the bottom point of your feet (the point that connects to the roof of your vehicle) to the top of your crossbars. This height added to 15-3/4"...

• Will a Thule AeroBlade Edge Roof Rack Fit a Base Model 2014 Subaru Forester
  As long as your 2014 Subaru Forester has the factory side rails that run front to back you can install the Thule AeroBlade Edge roof rack, # TH7502-TH7502. I have included a link to a video showing installation of the rack on a 2013 Forester. Installation on a 2014 would be the same. If your Forester does not have the side rails that run front to back then to add an AeroBlade Edge roof rack you will need to use crossbars and feet # TH7602-TH7602 and Podium foot pack # THKIT3079. I have...

• Which Roof Rack Should I Use To Install RoofNest Sparrow XL Tent On 2014 Subaru Forester?
  I talked to Roofnest's customer service team regarding this situation. They were very helpful and said that you can certainly install the Sparrow XL onto your 2014 Subaru Forester as long as the roof rack and vehicle's roof has a weight capacity of 165lbs or higher. The overhang of 5" won't be an issue according to Roofnest but they did say that they recommend at least 58" long crossbars to be on the safe side, but it is not required. If you want to go with longer crossbars then you can...

• Can I Use 53 inch Thule AeroBlade Crossbars on my 2017 Subaru Forester
  To find out if you can use the 53"Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars # TH711420 with the Evo Foot Pack # TH710401 on your 2017 Subaru Forester, you will need to do some measuring. If the center to center distance of the side rails on your Forester's roof is no less than 35-3/4 inches, then the 53 inch bars will work for your application. If your measurement is less than that, then you will need to use the 47 inch Crossbars # TH711220. If you do not have factory installed rails on your Subaru...

• Roof Rack Recommendation for 2009 Subaru Forester with Naked Roof
  For the naked roof of your 2009 Subaru Forester I really like the Thule Aeroblade Edge roof rack part numbers # TH7602B-TH7602B and # THKIT3079. This fits the factory fixed points you have on your roof and also give you the most aerodynamic crossbar shape to help cut down on wind noise and minimize fuel mileage loss. The flush bar design (bars don't go past the feet) also help with both of these things too. Plus gives an OE style look too.

• Does The Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbar System for a 2010 Subaru Forester Use Fixed Mounting Points
  The Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbar System for a 2010 Subaru Forester which is composed of part # RRVA126B-2, part # RRRLKVA, and part # DK186 is a great option but it installs with door clips, not the factory mounting points. If you are looking for a similar roof rack that does utilize these factory mounting point you'll have to upgrade to the Thule WingBar Evo Crossbar System part # TH711220, part # TH460R, and part # THKIT3079.

• Hullavator Pro and Thule Wingbar Evo Crossbars For 2015 Subaru Forester
  There are two types of roofs you can have on your 2015 Subaru Forester. You can have raised rails or you can have a naked roof. If you have raised rails the part list is a little simpler. You'll just need the Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars # TH711520 you're wanting and these Evo Raised Rail Feet # TH710401. I gave you the 60 inch crossbars which will give you 4-8 inches past the foot so you can use the Thule Hullavator # TH898. If you don't have raised rails (Naked Roof), you can get the...

• Recommended Roof Rack And Ski Carrier For 2015 Subaru Forester
  We do have some options that will work well for your 2015 Subaru Forester. Since you have fixed mounting points on your Forester I recommend the Thule AeroBlade Edge Roof Rack. Your roof will have fixed mounting points and this roof rack system is designed to use those fixed points for mounting. This is a low profile aerodynamic roof rack that is a black anodized aluminum which is rust resistant and durable as well as extremely quiet. For this roof rack you need to order part # TH7602B-TH7602B,...

• Can Old Thule Square Crossbars Be Used On a 2014 Subaru Forester with Fixed Points
  I do have an option for you but Thule did away with the old style square bars awhile ago and they stop supporting parts for them so we don't offer a way to allow you to reuse them unfortunately. That said, if you have a bunch of accessories that mount to these square bars you are not completely out of luck as Thule does still offer square bars, the Thule SquareBar Evo Crossbar System part # TH712200, part # TH460R, and part # THKIT3079 which will fit a 2014 Subaru Forester. Unfortunately,...

• Thule Canyon Roof Basket with Extension Compatibility with 2018 Subaru Forester
  On your 2018 Subaru Forester, the Thule Canyon XT Roof Cargo Basket - Steel - 69" x 40" x 6" - 150 lbs # TH859XT-8591XT includes the extension you mentioned and will absolutely fit the roof rack on your vehicle. If you don't already have the roof rack, then I recommend the Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 47" Long # TH711220 and the Thule Evo Raised Rail Feet # TH710401 if you have the raised side rails. If you don't have the raised rails, then I recommend the Thule...

• Recommended Roof Rack For 2002 Toyota Sienna And 2015 Subaru Forester
  The roof rack system for the 2002 Toyota Sienna will not fit the 2015 Subaru Forester. The crossbars for the Sienna are 53 inches long and the Forester uses crossbars that are 35-1/4 inches long. From my research I found that the Forester has either got a naked roof with fixed mounting points or the flush rails that a roof rack would attach to. The roof rack I recommend for the Forester is the Thule AeroBlade Edge Roof Rack. For this roof rack system you would need to order part # TH7602-TH7602,...

• Are Crossbars Required to Carry a Rooftop Carrier on a 2014 Subaru Forester
  All rooftop cargo boxes and cargo baskets require crossbars that run side to side on the vehicle roof. There are some rooftop cargo bags that sit directly on the vehicle roof and do not require crossbars. The 2014 Subaru Forester came with three different roof options. Your Forester could have a bare roof, factory raised side rails that run front to back or a factory roof rack with crossbars. If your Forester has a factory roof rack with crossbars, then you will not need additional crossbars...

• 2015 Subaru Forester Cargo Box Recommendation
  Every roof rack has a weight capacity. Whether it's a factory rack or an aftermarket one there will be a capacity that shouldn't be exceeded with weight from roof mounted cargo. The Thule racks for your vehicle have a 165 lb capacity. You will need to with a Subaru dealership to determine what the factory rack that is installed on your vehicle's capacity is. Thule recommends the Thule cargo box # TH6358B for the factory rack of your 2015 Subaru Forester.

• Roof Rack Needed to Carry a Kayak and Paddleboard with a 2015 Subaru Forester
  Although we do have options for carrying a kayak or paddleboard without a roof rack, these options utilize foam pads that would sit directly on top of your 2015 Subaru Forester and are really only supposed to be used when you are transporting your kayak or paddleboard a short distance (like across town). I recommend going with aero style bars which look much better and help prevent wind noise and drag. If your Forester doesn't have raised rails along the top then I recommend using the...

• Can a Roof Mount Basket be Installed on a 2014 Volkswagen Beetle with Raised Side Rails
  Surco makes a Safari basket that is designed to fit on side rails. There are a couple of different models that clamp to raised side rails depending on the vehicle. I have included a link to them for you. These baskets are designed for larger vehicles such as SUVs and could be too large for cars. In that scenario you would want to install a roof rack and then choose a compatible basket. If you have a 2014 Volkswagen Beetle though there are no roof rack options. So what you could do instead...

• Cargo Basket Recommendation for a Vehicle with Raised Side Rails
  We do carry a cargo basket that can attach to just the side rails of a vehicle and does not require crossbars. The Surco cargo carrier part # SPS4560-1101 is designed to attach to the raised rails of a vehicle like yours and would work well.

• Roof Rack and Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2016 Subaru Forester
  If your 2016 Subaru Forester has a roof setup that has two raised side rails that run from front to back you would want the Thule Aeroblade Edge Roof Rack part # TH7502B-TH7502B that is a confirmed fit. If instead your roof is naked without rails you would want the part numbers # TH7602B-TH7602B and # THKIT3079 to complete the rack. Both of these racks mentioned are Thule Aeroblade Edge racks. I really like these racks because they give an OEM look with the bars not extending past the...
