Quiet Roof Rack Recommendation for a 2014 Subaru Forester with Raised  

Question:

I am looking for a roof rack cross rails for a 2014 Subaru, Forester with sunroof and the antenna is mounted on the roof in the back. The long roof rails were mounted by the factory. I have searched through your inventory and found one that might fit my needs. I my intentions are for to mount 2 J racks for a kayak approx 12 to 14 ft long and possible windsurfing board and sail. I was thinking of the Rhino Rack that is 49 inches long complete system with locks. Something that does not make a lot of wind noise aero. Rhino has a vortex aero system, but I dont think it locks or is 49 inches long. I am hoping that someone can give me some insight on would this be the right system for me or is there something else I have not reviewed. I like the Thule aero system, but cant find one at 49 inches. Thank you for your time.

The quietest roof rack option we have for your 2014 Subaru Forester is the Thule Aeroblade Edge part # TH7502-TH7502. These fit between the raised side rails and unlike some roof racks they do not extend past them. This combined with the aero design will make them the quietest system we can recommend.

You will need the lock cores part # TH450400 to lock them to your roof.

Check out the review video I attached that shows the rack installed on a similar 2013 Forester as yours.

For j-style kayak carriers we have the Hullaport part # TH834 that would fit the rack and work well.
