Best 2020 Subaru Forester Roof Rack Options

Hi, Matt with Etrailer. And today we're gonna be talking about the best raised rail roof rack option for you on a 2020 Subaru Forester. If you don't know if you have raised rail, it's a good way to check. It's just to come over to your vehicle. And if you can get your hand underneath your rails, then you got 'em. If you are having issues trying to find what's gonna be the best fit for you, you can actually plug in your vehicle's information into our fit guide, to find what's gonna be the best fit for you.



Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars Installation - 2020 Subaru Forester

How's it going, it's Ethan here at etrailer. Today we're gonna be taking a look at and showing you how to install the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero roof rack system on our 2020 Subaru Forester. It's gonna be a great option for you. We do have raised rails on our Forester for you to get some larger or longer items up on top of your roof. You have an okay amount of storage in the back, but if you wanna get something larger like a roof box, basket, or you wanna get some skis and snowboards up there, get 'em where you need 'em to go, you're first gonna need a roof rack system like this one. So let's check out how it works.



Inno Roof Rack Review - 2020 Subaru Forester

Evangeline: Hi everyone. It's Evangeline here at etrailer.com and today we are looking at a Inno roof rack kit with flush fit here on our 2020 Subaru Forester. This is a great roof rack kit if you are looking for something that is easy to install, as well as will allow you to carry accessories on your roof rack, like your bike racks, your cargo boxes, really everything that can go around the roof rack or can be installed to these T-tracks right over here. There are some different styles of roof racks, and what we have here is the flush fit style. So you can see here how it ends right at this end and that's an interesting design. I like it because it gives that sleek low profile almost from the factory look.



Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars Installation - 2020 Subaru Forester

Evangeline: Hi! It's Evangeline from etrailer.com, and today we are looking at our Thule roof rack with WingBar Evo crossbars and Evo raised rail towers, here on our 2020 Subaru Forester.Our Forester here has these raised rails. So, these Evo raised rail towers just clamp around them, and it was really easy to install. You just put it on there and you just tighten it down, which is a really nice feature about them. They also have these caps, and you can replace the cores on the caps with locked cores so you can lock your roof rack to your car.Our Forester has this glass roof up here for the sunroof. So, what I like about how this roof rack works together is that it latches onto the rails and goes over the roof so you don't have any weight on your glass roof and you still have access to your sunroof, which is great.As for measurements, your clearance between your roof and the bottom of the rails is four inches. So, that's plenty of space for your clamps, for your accessories to clamp around your WingBars.



Yakima Roof Rack Installation - 2020 Subaru Forester

Evangeline: Hi, it's Evangeline from etralier.com, and today we are looking at our Yakima roof rack with JetStream crossbars and TimberLine towers here on our 2020 Subaru Forester. Since our Forester has these strong raised rails, these TimberLine towers are a pretty good roof rack because they just clamp onto those rails and they're very easy to install and un-install. When you install your roof rack, the Yakima recommends measuring from the back with your hatch open all the way towards the front to see the best fit for where to place it. And we have it here at about 57 inches from the hatch, and the distance apart is 31 inches, which I found was a good distance. It's up to you with the accessories you use and how you're going to use it where you want it placed, and it's very easy to move around, you just loosen it and slide it to the position on your rails you need them to be.Our Forester has this glass roof here for your sun roof, and what's nice about these bars is that they go over it since they're just attached to your rails, so that way you're not putting any weight on that glass roof. So as for measurements, let's see, for clearance from the roof itself to the bottom of your bars, it's 4-1/2", and as for overhang, we have 50 inch bars, and you have an overhang from the end of the towers to the end of the bars of 2-1/4".
