These aluminum aero crossbars give you the freedom to bring what you need for the trip ahead. The bars work with accessories that mount in the top channels or clamp around the bars, so you can use cargo boxes, kayak carriers, bike racks, or ski holders without changing your setup. It’s a solid way to haul gear for camping weekends, road trips, or days on the water.
Wind noise can make a long drive tiring. These bars use push-down rubber strips that press against your accessory hardware inside the top channels. The strips help reduce wind noise and vibration while you’re driving, making highway miles quieter and more relaxed.
A solid rack matters when you’re carrying heavy or expensive gear. This system has a weight capacity of 165 lbs and installs securely to raised rails. The lockable leg covers deter theft of the rack, giving you peace of mind when you park at the trailhead or stop overnight.
Some racks make you cut rubber inserts to fit accessories—these don’t. The top channels let you press your hardware directly into place without trimming. The strips automatically close back around your mounts, keeping things tidy and sealed against wind and weather while saving setup time.
The bars measure 51" long x 3-1/8" wide x 1-1/8" tall and are made from aluminum for lasting strength without extra weight. The sleek black finish gives them a clean look that blends in well with any setup. Backed by a limited lifetime warranty, they’re built for everyday use and big adventures alike.

Hello, neighbor, this is Curt with etrailer, and today we're gonna take a look at the INNO Roof Rack on our 2024 Subaru Forester. Now, if you have any experience with INNO Roof Racks, or if you have any questions about them, please leave them in the comments below. We love to use your experiences and your questions in order to help our other neighbors make the best decision for themselves. Now, you may be asking yourself, why would I want a roof rack Well, if you own a Subaru Forester, in all likelihood, you got a bit of an adventurous side to you. You like to get to trips outdoors, go on adventures like that, cycling, hiking, kayaking, all those sorts of type things. And having a roof rack on your vehicle is gonna be a great addition in order to help you take that extra cargo that you may either not be able to fit in the vehicle or may not want to carry in the vehicle.
The other reason, as opposed to say a platform rack, which we know are very popular with Subarus, is that if your Subaru has a moonroof like this one does, the platform's gonna completely cover that. It would be a feature you'd never really get to use. The roof rack, however, we've got all this raised rail here to make adjustments forward and back to set up our roof rack how we want. As a matter of fact, we purposely set this one up as far back as it could go. We put a 26-inch cross spread on it because that is something that is really, really common for those rooftop accessories.
And judging by this, we might be able to get up to a 30-inch spread without ever interfering up here with our moonroof. You may be wondering just what kind of clearance you have between the roof and the bar itself. I can tell you just by looking at it, any rooftop accessories that involve a clamp system, you're gonna have plenty of room to get that around under here. Yeah, we have a little over 3 1/2 inches of space underneath the bar. And toward the back, we have this antenna that might worry us a bit too.
However, we've got plenty of clearance above that antenna, even if, again, we use a clamp system. None of that will interfere with this at all. You can access the track directly from the side like this. All you really need to do is push down on this rubber strip and slide your track mounted accessories through this T-slot. The INNO roof rack has a 165-pound weight capacity.
However, you always wanna double-check your owner's manual to see what the roof weight capacity is on your vehicle. If it's less than what the crossbar weight capacity is, you'll have to stick with the weight capacity for the vehicle. Now that we've taken a look at some of the features and specs and why you might want a roof rack on your Forester, let's take a look at exactly how we got these installed. Now, the first thing that we're going to do when it comes to installation is attach our towers to our crossbar. So this is the underside of the crossbar. You're gonna notice this T-slot right here that is going to be where we slide this through and attach to our crossbar. Now, in order to do this, unlike other crossbars, we're not gonna remove the cap and go in from the side. One of the beauties of this is that we could do all this without removing our end caps. This tab here will go in this space here. The rest of it will go into this space here. And what we're gonna do from there is simply slide it across. There it is, all locked in, good to go. If we ever wanted to take it off, we would be pushing this tab, sliding this all the way over and removing it. So now that we've got it seated on our rails here, these rubber straps are gonna be coming around and going into this loop here. Now, this model has a panoramic moonroof. So what we did was we moved our first bar that we already installed all the way to the back as far as it could go. So we put it right up against this brace here in the back underneath the rail. The next one, when we're aiming for about a 26-inch crossbar spread on this, because that is gonna accommodate most rooftop accessories right there. At that crossbar spread, the other thing that we have in mind is that we wanna see if we can avoid having the crossbars go directly over this roof. Because of how these attach on here by wrapping around like so, we're able to move it as forward and as far back as these rails are going to allow. However, we did wanna see if there was a way to set this up without obstructing that beautiful view you'll get from above. So in order to adjust this, it's gonna have this knob that we can twist. Clockwise to lock or tighten it down, counterclockwise to loosen it up. This not only keeps this part secure or loose, it's also gonna be what tightens down our strap around the rail. So once we get it seated there, we're gonna go ahead and get our measuring tape, make sure we have an equal amount of overhang on each side of the bar before we twist this in place and lock it down. Now that we've got our bars even, and we've got everything tightened down and secure, the last thing we need to do is put on our tower cover. One of the other great things about INNO is that unlike a lot of brands that make crossbars, INNO includes keys and locks for each of our towers. That is actually how this will secure on. So all we need to do is just slip it on in place, lock it on, and it's secure. Now we're ready to load up our crossbars and head out to our next adventure. So if you're looking for a rooftop cargo system that is gonna be very maneuverable and adjustable and be able to accommodate all different sorts of accessories, as well as staying out of the way of a moonroof or anything like that that you might have on the vehicle I think the INNO Roof Rack is a fantastic choice for you. This is Curt at etrailer, thanks for stopping by.
Ratings & Reviews
The rack worked perfectly with my car. It was easy to assemble and has been toting well for more than a year
Great bars and provides a good height on my GX460. the ONLY minor nuissance is there is a soft whistle at high speeds. other than that its fab
Great customer service, great product.
Looks like a quality product. Did not fit the rails on my 2020 Subaru Forester exactly but good enough for a strong safe fit. (I understand this product is made for a multitude of different vehicles)
Noisy driving down the road. The whistle driving at 60mph is ridiculous and the best part, you can’t even exchange them! Thank you for making me look elsewhere for anything that you sell.
Great quality. Easy to install with some common sense as the directions aren't perfect. Locks and crome/black end caps give it a high end feel.
Fast shipping and well packaged product. Ordering was easy with the online guide
Solid product at a better price than most other rack bars. Has served me well for a year without any issues.
Easy to install. Feel solid. I do hear a slight whistle at speed.
Installed on my go 460 a year ago. Put them on and never took them off. I have surfboard pads on as well. Noise level is not bad and I don’t even notice them anymore. Highly recommend them. Very sturdy.
Solid, easy to adjust, and secure with the Inno aero bars on a 2013 VW Jetta Wagon. Thank you.
Your videos provided a great deal of help when it came to installing the crossbars. They are great quality and I can’t wait to hit the road and finally use them!
Works perfectly! As indicated in previous review the tech writers at Inno should update the instructions on measurement process, but after I placed and centered the roof rack on my vehicle and tightened it down it worked great!
We have put these crossbars to work on several road trips and we are very happy with them..
Easy directions to follow for install. I especially appreciate how E trailer packages all products as a unit based upon your specific vehicle. I had no idea which parts to pair together for best functionality and E trailer made it easy to create the combination of parts needed for Lexus GX460. Highly recommend.
Seems to be solid railing and aerodynamic easy instillation for the most part. Measurement recommendations are a bit off.
easy purchase. when I changed vehicles, I needed new feet for my Aero Crossbars. These fit the style roof racks on my 2019 Jeep Cherokee. They were easy to install and took the locks I had from my other Inno mount these replaced. Love the racks,
Rack looks great on the car.
I've owned it for a year now and it is holding up very well.
I have a 2022 Lexus GX460 Premium. Fairly simple installation and a almost seem less transition from the fit kit to the cross bar system. Can be done by one person, but I would suggest a two-person system to expedite the process
Great product, awesome service!
Fits my 2020 Ford Explorer ST great.
Easy to remove for long trips.
Originally, I was waiting for the Yakima crossbars to be restocked for my GX460 but decided I couldn’t wait it out any longer and went with the Inno’s aero set. Overall, they look great, fit great and seem to be very good quality. I was able to assemble the rack myself, it took me about an hour and half, I wish the installation was a bit easier but after watching the video from etrailer it all came together perfectly !
Once again etrailer.com delivers. Finding a crossbar solution for my 2021 Lexus GX 460 was far more challenging than expected until I visited the site and found exactly what I needed. The fit kit worked great and the quality of the feet and crossbars on par or better than other brands (who dropped the ball on having a product available for this vehicle). The rack is on, secure and now carrying my Thule cargo box. Very happy.
I like to do extensive research before buying outdoor equipment. The eTrailer site was a good starting point for this research with videos installations of each of the roof racks that would fit my 23 Subaru Forester. I have purchased many of the big name rack equipment over the years - Thule Ski Racks, Yakima Cargo Box, Kayak & Bike racks, and Kuat Hitch Bike racks. In watching the videos for each of the available products, I found myself liking everything the Inno Aero Roof Rack has to offer. The simplest and most efficient method of installation with a built in lever to tighten, a clean access to the t-track without having to cut strips, and the way the mounts attach to the bars without allowing them to slip off the ends. Not to mention coming with included locks. Upon receiving my product, I found that everything had been carefully packaged with no damage in transit. The installation process was simple and the roof rack fits perfectly on looks great. I look forward to using it on the road in the coming weeks.
It was definitely very easy to install, and looks amazing on my '24 Crosstrek. But the main thing for me is it arrived the day after I ordered it! I'm just amazed that the free shipping option was able to get it to me that quickly.
