Expert Reply:
In regards to the bracket for the Thule Hullavator # TH898 you need the Replacement Underbar Bracket for Thule Hullavator # TH8535860.
As for a roof rack for your 2018 Subaru Forester with raised side rails I recommend using an option from Thule, the WingBar Evo, which has 53 inch crossbars and consists of the following:
- Thule WingBar Evo Crossbars # TH711420 (Black) or # TH711400
- Evo Raised Rail Feet for Thule Crossbars # TH710401
The WingBar Evo crossbars are aerodynamic with a tapered shape and have integrated WindDiffusers which minimize wind noise so you can drive in peace without the loud and annoying whistling noise that can occur with other crossbars.
These crossbars obtain their strength and durability from their aluminum construction, which also keeps them rustproof. The WingBar Evo is so durable that it comes with a lifetime warranty to ensure you never have to worry about this bar wearing out over time - it won't.
I do recommend adding the Thule One-Key System Lock Cylinders # TH450400 so you can lock the roof rack to your vehicle and secure your investment.
