Recommended Roof Rack And Kayak Carrier For 2015 Subaru Forester With Raised Side Rails
Updated 06/13/2016 | Published 06/10/2016
Question:
What is the best way to get cross rails that will work with my side rails on my Subaru Forester? Only carrying one kayak.

Expert Reply:
The roof rack I recommend for your 2015 Forester with the raised side rails is the Rhino-Rack Vortex StealthBar Roof Rack, part # JA7973.
This aerodynamic roof rack is a low-profile system that is quiet and has a great look. Locks are built in to help deter theft, and the roof rack has a matte black finish.
For carrying a kayak I recommend the Rhino-Rack J-Style Kayak Carrier, part # S512. This carrier folds down when not in use. This carrier includes tie-down straps to secure the kayak to the crossbars and bow and stern tie-downs to secure the kayak to the vehicle.
