2018 Subaru Forester
It always scares me to buy car parts online, mostly because I don't know car parts from squat. These fit exactly (as I was told they would) and went on easy. They seem sturdy and have a good "feel." The real test will come when I use them to haul several 2x4s up the mountain and down my steep driveway. Of course, that's going to be more of a test of how I strap them down than of the product itself. 725110

Seems to be a quality product. Easy to install. Would be nice if I could leave them on when going thru a car wash. Wind noise is loud also but I’ve been told repositioning could solve the problem. 696269

The crossbars were very easy to mount, seemed very secure and were easy to adjust. We haven’t yet mounted our rocket box but have no reason to think that will be a problem. The ease of installation leads us to believe that we will be able to remove and re-install without any difficulty. 745004

Ask the Experts about this Curt Roof Rack
- Will Curt Roof Rack # C18118 Fit Factory Side Rails on 2018 Subaru Forester The Curt Roof Rack # C18118 that you referenced is confirmed to fit your 2018 Subaru Forester with the factory raised side rails. I believe you are referring to the brackets themselves on each of the crossbars, and these can indeed slide along the length of the bar to ensure a proper fit between the side rails on your vehicle's roof. This roof rack system will work perfectly for your Forester. It features a weight capacity of 150 pounds.
view full answer... - Can Curt C18118 Roof Rack Crossbars Cut to Custom LengthWhat you propose can be done, once they've been cut any warranty protections will be void according to Curt. Acccording to Curt, these crossbars are a confirmed fit for a 2018 Nissan Rogue with raised side rails on the roof.
view full answer... - Will Curt Roof Rack Fit 2016 Ford Escape Limited with Panoramic Glass RoofThe Curt Roof Rack # C18118 will fit the raised rails on your 2016 Ford Escape Limited but you might not be able to operate the panoramic glass roof with this (or any) roof rack installed. The bottom of these crossbars sit about 2" above your raised rails so you can use that measurement as a guide to help you determine if the glass roof can still be operated or not.
view full answer... - Why is There Price Difference Between Curt and Yakima/Thule Roof RacksYakima and Thule are the premium brand roof rack manufacturer. You are paying for basically the nicest roof rack components you can find. Anything that says Thule or Yakima will be very high quality and have a very well thought out design. What this means for you is that the components will be very easy to install due to the intuitive design, will perform flawlessly, and will last you a very long time. The Curt roof rack components are on the value brand side of things and are also very...
view full answer... - What is the Difference Between Curt Roof Rack Crossbars and Thule Roof Rack with Evo Raised Feet?I wouldn't say that you're missing anything; the Curt Roof Rack for Raised Side Rails # C18118 are a solid, low cost roof rack option that looks great. When you look at them compared to something like the Thule Roof Rack with Evo Raised Rail Feet # TH711220 and # TH710401 the differences are extremely subtle and may not matter to a lot of consumers. Curt is primarily a company known for making trailer hitches and towing products, so roof racks aren't exactly their specialty. When it comes...

- Will Rhino Rack Ski Rack # RR576 Fit Curt Roof Rack # C18118Yes, the Rhino-Rack Ski and Snowboard Carrier # RR576 that you referenced would easily fit on the Curt roof rack kit part # C18118 that you also referenced.
view full answer... - Fit of Curt C18118 Crossbars and C18115-117 Cargo Basket on 2015 Nissan RogueAs long as your 2015 Rogue has the roof rails that run front to back alongside the edge of the roof for the # C18118 to attach to, and the usable space along those rails is no less than 15 inches (which it very well should be), that Curt # C18115-117 roof basket you referred to would work perfectly for you. The basket's mounting hardware is compatible with the crossbars you specified. You can see product description videos for both the crossbar system and the cargo basket by clicking the...
view full answer... - Rooftop Cargo Basket for 2013 Lexus RX 450hI checked with Thule and they do not show direct cargo basket fits for factory bars on your 2013 Lexus RX 450h so an aftermarket square bar rack will be a good way to go to ensure a basket such as their Trail XT # TH864XT or their Canyon # TH859XT will fit well on your car. I suggest the Curt Roof Rack # C181118 that will mount to your raised roof side rails with a 32-inch bar spread; this bar spacing is compatible with both the Canyon and Trail baskets. On thing to keep in mind is...
view full answer... - What Are The Color Options For The Malone Aero 58 inch bars - Item # MPG216I contacted the manufacturer and the Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack, Item # MPG216, with the 58 inch bars you referenced only comes in silver. To get a rack that fits your 2017 Toyota 4Runner with a black finish, I recommend the Thule Rapid Crossroad Feet # TH450R, 53" WingBar Evo Crossbars # TH711420, as well as locks # TH450400. It has a 165-lbs capacity. A more economical option is the Curt Roof Rack for Raised Side Rails # C18118 with a 150 lb capacity. I have attached some videos...
view full answer... - Recommended Kayak Carrier for 3 Kayaks on 2008 Toyota HighlanderI envy your choice of lakes for your kayaking, but I can relate to the convenience of nearby water since I have to go only 1/4-mile to hit the lake in my kayak! If your 2008 Toyota Highlander has a factory-installed roof rack with crossbars that run side-to-side then you can use the Thule Kayak Stacker # TH830. The Stacker handles up to 4 kayaks up to 10-feet in length and holds them on their sides. Please click on the video link provided. If you don't have a factory roof rack but...
view full answer... - Recommended Roof Rack and Kayak Carrier for 1-Person Use on 2008 Saturn VueWe can help you with a method to easily transport your 10-foot 55-lb kayak on your roof of your 2008 Saturn Vue. If you want the best 1-person loading option then I suggest the Curt Roof Rack # C18118 and the roller-assisted Yakima HandRoll # Y04082-2. Tie-down straps are included.
view full answer... - Which Thule Crossbars Will Fit a 2014 Toyota RAV4The most popular Thule crossbars for your 2014 Toyota RAV4 are the 53 inch WingBars # TH711400, in silver or # TH711420 in black. You'll need the Evo raised rail feet # TH710401 as well. These will fit your RAV4 as long as you have the raised rails that run from front to back on the roof. If you have the RAV4 EV we do not have a Thule rack available. If that's the case the best rack for you is the Curt # C18118 because of the aero bars. using parts # Y00409, # Y00124, and # Y00683.
view full answer... - Rack for 2009 Dodge Durango to Carry LaddersThe MaxxTow MaxxHaul Van Ladder Rack # MT70440 won't work with a 2009 Dodge Durango but we may have a different option for you to consider. To help carry your ladders, if your Durango has the factory installed side rails, I recommend simply adding an inexpensive roof rack, the Curt Roof Rack Crossbars for Raised Side Rails # C18118, which has crossbars that are 53-3/8" long, or the longer 58" bars of the Malone SteelTop Roof Rack # MPG202. I have added links to video reviews of both...

The Curt roof rack system you referenced, their part # C18118, is indeed a correct fit for your 2014 Subaru Forester with factory-installed raised side rails. This rack uses sleek aero-style crossbars that are fully compatible with any of the SportRack ski carriers we offer.
